Always in Canada

All of 'em in Canada! Of course, ours were marked in kilometers per hour. My '81 GS1100 shows 240 kmh (149 mph). My 1980 Cycle World test stated a top speed of 141 mph.

Speedo

I have an '82 GS1100E that I replaced the speedo on. I got a used '83 pod in fantastic shape for $120 with a 140 mph speedo that hooks right up with the same wiring and mounts. Search the salvage yards on the internet and I'm sure you'll find one.

Hey guys, I may be wrong but I think all U.S. spec speedos only went to 85mph in the year 1980 (cars too, I think) I had a CB750F, same thing.
Something about the speeding or fuel mileage thing.

The 85 mph speedo's were required by the all knowing DOT from 80 to 82.
