yeah it's a vulcan, it is running straight pipe so it's louder than hell. i am looking at getting just a suzuki 750, i don't needa lot of power and i have no interest in doing wheelies so it's just around town.

yea i know... im not to scared of loosing my top speed though cuz i doubt it will get to the point where it will limit me to anything... right now my bike does 110mph in 4th gear.... i got 2 more gears to go, so i think ill be fine with top speed...

You cant pop a wheelie off the line with the current gearing?

you absolutely can, but he's probably to scared to learn the real way to pop a wheelie without hurting himself... dont be an idiot and do wheelies if you dont know how too, it's a good way to ruin a bike, plus you know once you pull it all apart you'll never get it back together

if you do any sort of hwy riding I wouldn't suggest it because your 65ish MPH rpm can shoot up as much as 2k with that gearing plus you should be able to do it fine now you just have to goose and and let the clutch out more quickly. L4 on motorcycles generally don't have anything it the lower RPMs so you are going to have to get them up a little.
