Hi everybody,
I'm new here so excuse me if I go over subject that has been discussed already.
I recently finish my GPZ with adapted front and rear wheels and suspensions from a Ducati.
When I got it the bike wasn't running , rear wheel would barely turn but dash indicate only 11K miles so I figured was possible to get it back to life.
I had some issues with the sprockets ratio so bike is a little under on top speed. So my question is:
Anyone with this same bike knows the actual top speed? I know specs said 135 mph, I like to know if somebody tested it with a GPS.
Here are some pics of before and after.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.
