Passed by a Savage, WTF??

(This actually happened yesterday, but I was too tired to write it up last night).
So for whatever dumb reason, I drove the car to work yesterday. I think I thought it was going to rain or something. I'm driving home in the car, doing 70-75, look back and there's a cruiser gaining on me. Nothing remarkable, lotsa bikes out yesterday. As it gets closer, it starts sounding kinda....... lawnmower-ish??! I look over as it passes, and it's a Savage / S40! I'm doing 75 and it's passing..... I didn't even know those things could go that fast!! Rider was thrashing the poor thing WFO for every once of HP it could muster. Fortunately, he took the next exit, so I didn't have to watch the damn thing throw a rod or something.
Dude: it's a thumper ferpetesake! Have some mercy on it!!
