Some guy bought a brand new bike (maybe it was a GS, it was a big bike anyway) and on his very first ride took it up 1000 rpm past red line in first gear, then shifted and did the same in second. If I remember right, he ended up in third gear doing 135 mph before slowing down. I can just imagine the engine seizing up at 135 miles an hour!
