For me...

170 indicated on a 93 ZX-11

163 indicated on a 2000 R1

150 in the Z06 a few times...my 07 R1...a 98 ZX9R...

140 more times than I can remember on various bikes and in various cages.

How fast does a '82 GPz 750 with a kerker& carb kit go? It had one of those goofy 85 mph speedo's. My brother and I rode our bikes ( he had an '85 GPz 550 ) down to Kent Island MD in 86 to visit mom & step dad on their boat. One of the guys at the marina asked us early sunday morning which way was home. He had radar on his yacht and really nasty storms were heading our way.

Gary and I were heading up Rt 1 when I twisted the 750 tight. He later told me he was doing 135 mph and I was walking away from him like he was standing still.

Love the 2 stories. My fastest was indicated 150mph on that long straight section near the gap. I couldn't help it.

I have no clue where my real speed would be. I guess 130-140 with stock gearing.

so who needs to update their speed?

HokieDNA01 · 11-17-2009, 01:27 AM

I do I do.

Saw an indicated 170mph on the 750 a few weekends ago on a country road with a really long straight. Was still pulling too. We got some of it on vid (i'm not shown, so you will have to take my word for it). Scary part was right after we pulled over a cop came rolling by. Whew!!!

Not super exciting but it had my heart going. That white F4 is bad ass.

Fast is fun but this is what I really enjoy. This road is a hidden gem!

There is one other video on there that has me out in front of the camera. Not my best/smoothest riding but the pavement sucked.

115 (street)

That's all you get from a EX250, and if you want that last 5 (and I did) you have to lay on the tank.
