Hi there,

Dream on :whistle: Must be the first GZ in history to do that. Did 203 MPH on a ninja. Sure your spectacles don't need changing when you're reading the speedo? :yawn:

I'm sure lol I can see fine and yes it was 203(the bike was cammed,jetted,k&n with full racing exhaust) but I was 18 when I had that bike so now I'm not to worried about going that fast. Plus being in ems I've seen the results of riding like that...and I was as surprised the gz went that fast but it wouldnt maintain it it did stay at about 80 tho I promise you , I had a slight tail wind and was laid down on the tank. I dnt push it like that often but it was cold and about to storm so we just wanted to get home before it got us(which we didn't lol)my rain gear is being shipped as we speak :2tup:

Hey just re read your reply not 95 mph lol interstate 95 it went 80 mph sry

Welcome to the forum from South Carolina. C'mon up and visit during the Myrtle Beach bike week May 14th - 20th. Ride safe.

Ah yes, I-95 makes more sense. Lynda's GZ would go 80 mph under the right conditions but it wasn't happy. Dropping down to a legal speed of 60 mph was a lot less stressful for bike and rider.

Hi and welcome! I'm on the interstate almost every time I ride. Curious to see what kind of mpg you get. I've been averaging 55-65mpg, but I tend to drop it into 4th a lot on the highway just to keep up.

You must have a few gentle inclines that are a bane to a GZ.
