What car do you drive? [IRL]

Not exactly a car but,



2010 Honda CBR600RR Leyla edition. Got it with 3,000 KM now it's around 6,500 KM.

Anyway, it's my first sports bike. As a matter of fact, I've never rode any two wheels powered with an engine. My friends taught me on this 600RR. I first wanted to buy a 1000RR but thankfully my friends didn't let me. I then decided I will buy a 600RR and ride it for 3 months or thereabouts then upgrade to 1000RR. Then I came across this beautiful Leyla. Popular 600RRs in Egypt cost 50,000 EGP. A normal red/black 2006 600RR. My Leyla cost 80,000. Which is equivalent (or even more than) to the price of Yamaha R1. The fact that this is the only Leyla in Egypt seduced me, and it looked so beautiful. Totally outgunned the whole garage (looks wise). I was certain that the resale price will be way less than 80,000. But I decided I'll buy it and I won't upgrade to 1000RR and I'll stick to Leyla. I'm the only one riding it in Cairo, enough said. It's a little short story for those who says you cannot learn on a 600 bike.

Now to another issue, I've a question for you sport bike riders. This bike is supposed to reach 260-270 KM/H with ease. I can't go anywhere higher than 249 KM/H with my Leyla. Tires are at a perfect condition. Just replaced my filter and placed K&N. Just replace my filter and placed Two Bros. If there's anything that might be a cause it's the chain. It's a little bit loose than it should be but I don't know if that can cause such a huge speed difference. Speaking of the chain, I ordered a new chain and sprockets. The front sprockets were 16 and will go down to 15. Rear were 42 and are going up to 44. I understand this increases acceleration while it decreases top speed. But I'm not in a good spot to allow more of my top speed to decrease. Anyone knows how much of my top speed it might decrease?

PS: Posting a picture of mine soon.
