I appreciate the insights as to my speed requirements as there is still a nice unrestricted area south of Stuttgart heading towards the Bodensee. I was once breaking in my Ducati 1098 and had to keep it under 5000 rpm and that was at 120 mph. A silver Mercedes pulled up and wanted to race. However, as the German guys know, you need to have 6th sense as to when to and not to. Responsible driving is paramount. I am stationed here and live on base so the registration and noise would not be problem. I have an 83 German spec 635 and every time I go out I end up racing some kid in an Audi TT, Mini Cooper S or 3 Series who remembers when the 635’s and 911’s ruled the left lane. I do not let them down. 3.5 liters of Dr. Bosch injected un-catalyzed six cylinders is still 3.5 liters and is actually a fairly good sized engine over here, however, 7.5 Liters would mix with the others, i.e., Lambos, Ferraris, AMG’s, and GT3’s and get me back into the V-8’s. Again, thanks for the insights and the humor. Is there anybody with an ERA in the Jacksonville, North Florida area or Charlotte NC area? I will be in the area for some Christmas leave in about a month.
