My squid thread: Just how fast?

'73 H1 Triple · 07-11-2009, 09:03 AM

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.
