I donno... My bike seems to handle 60 mph in 2nd pretty well...
When I wanna gitty-up and go, I'm passing ~50 mph when shifting from 1st
to 2nd... 3rd will take me over 100mph well before hitting redline. :)

What happens if you're doing 60 in 5th and shift down to 2nd before releasing
the clutch?

Nothing. Until you release the clutch, at which point your rear wheel
moves abruptly to the side, your front wheel attempts to leave the
ground, and little bits of metal spontaneously emerge from the bike
and go in random directions.

The bike slows down, of course...
