Interesting.  I only ever had one other 650.  That was the Yamaha Heritage
Special (XS650).  It had nowhere near the gut wrenching acceleration or the
top speed of the Seca Turbo.  That Seca was easily the fastest bike I have
ever owned.  I had it radared once by a friendly highway patrolman on a
stretch of old highway.  I hit 165 and was still accelerating when I shut it
down.  The end of the road was looking way to close for me at that speed.  I
would have made a couple more runs, but he got a call and had to go.

Look at my list and guess which bike was the next fastest of all those I
have owned.

Third...

Fourth...
