I guess with speedo error on these old GS's I don't really know anymore. I do know with stock gearing it'll pull red line in top gear for what that's worth. Speedo shows 200kph (126mph).'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

I just bought my 1980 GS750E 1 month ago. I hit 90 the night I bought it. Comming from a two stroke background I have a hard time taking 5th gear any faster. I am sure it is just a matter of time. Does anyone know what the documented top speed is for this bike?

I ran out of speedometer (85) and road before I ran out of horsepower. I'm sure it would go at least 130.Comment

(about another 15mph).

I got tagged at 128mph last week by the state police on my 85 550l. I saw the lights and pulled over I knew it was for me.Comment
