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)Comment

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

I had my 80 gs1100E up to 120mph (according to rpms), but onlyhad about 1000rpms before I started redlining
(about another 15mph).
