then he was telling me that he was extra careful riding and he was only doing 75MPH IN THE FIRST GEAR for the past 15 minutes???....
What? Most of the new liter bikes are good for 90mph in first gear....
Tell him to regear it, maybe +3 front minus 5 rear so he can do 75 without shifting and not hurt the bike and it will be slugish to help keep us safe from him

since the new r1 are probably good for 90 mph in first gear i wouldnt think it would have trashed the motor, not that it couldnt..but they are built for abuse like that...but I would also think an engine with some miles on it would handle it much better then brand new...
