Cool vid!  And to think they’re all running crappy tires and prehistoric suspensions, wearing thin leathers, dog bowl helmets and had to use DRUM brakes! Headscratch Cool

Back then 140mph was real fast! No knees out either.

I admit it, I've never done 140.

I've never had a bike that would do it.

My ZX14 did 139 mph in 440 yards at 5,300 feet! Third gear at redline was 135 mph!!

At sea level? WOW, never had the chance.

My 2005 Z750s was my fastest bike, 122 mph on the gps. It had more, I just ran out of space and never tried again. My FJ-09 is electronically limited at 115mph. I've done that probably twenty times.

My 39 year old CBX can top 130 but it’s an E ticket ride at that speed!  I’m still in 3rd gear at that speed on my Hayabusa though. Cool
