140MPH KZ650?? (eBay)

Some reference material . Check out some of the articles from the list on the top left of the page . www.kz650.info/
They went over 140 and ran fairly low gearing. My motor has bigger cams more head work and way taller gearing. They ran 17/48 and I run 17/40 with more power. They were set up more for drag racing at the salt flats. For top end power you want the short stacks like I have not those long ones on the Denco bike.Hell back in 77 Kawasaki set the AMA 750 cc record for 10 mi. at 131 mph.

Most likely we have a lot of influence. If nothing else, we keep the sellers honest, or at least make them careful of what they claim.

The sad part is this looks like it was done at a Kawasaki dealership. We should try to found out where these numbnuts do business/
This is a perfect case for forced neutering as these nimrods shouldn't be allowed to breed and pass on their idiocy. What a waste:(

The old girl did hold on for quite a while though. As has already been said, let's see a hardly-ableson last that long! Maybe we can find a video of that and even things out?? Who's got an extra Hardly lying around that we can blow up? Man, we've got to do something about this. I'm going to have nightmares!!:ohmy: :ohmy: :blink:
