[net.cycle] Land speed records 8-)

Welllllll, on my rz350 i have reached 200 several times....
  ...but then we use kilometers up here in Canada :-)
 
Why the disbelief in stock 550s reaching 100mph????
My olde stock rd350 (1973) a couple of times was coerced to about 105mph
allowing for speedo-error, lets say 100mph
Now that was a 350, granted RDs are special :-), but wouldnt another 200cc
on top make for an equivalent bike? Granted, I havent much experience with
midsize 4-strokes, maybe they are all gutless :-) :-)
 
(Hummm, where DID i put that kit to make my 350 gobble Intercepter 1000R's...)
