ghey. I don't think the speedos even go to 160, 140 or 150.
seriously? that is it? What kind of bike was that set with? I didn't think it was that low. what is the story on that class?quote:Originally posted by Hoofhearted
Thats a bargain! The Bonneville record for 750 Modified Gas is only 161mph. 2 grand and a little effort and you could be a record holder. Sure wish i lived closer. :]

I don't have the story behind it except to say that the M/G record was set in 1984 by Scott Guthrie on a Yamaha at 161.719mph. Model not mentioned in the record book. But does, by todays standards, look pretty soft. I'd like to know more about it too. I'm surprised no one has run on it. Seems like todays 750s should be able to hammer it pretty good. Scott Guthrie also holds the fuel record at 167.075. Presumably on the same bike. At Bonneville if you run the gas class you get you gas at the meet. There is a meet gas. Your tank is then sealed. If you break the gas record and it happens to be faster than the fuel record or you feel you an break the fuel record on gas you simply break the seal on the gas cap. By doing so your fuel can no longer be classified as gas. It is assumed you may have tampered with it. So you can run in the fuel class on gas legally.quote:Originally posted by Geeto67

maybe nobody told you but cb750s run best with the original airbox, if that thing had a chance of making it close to 160 on stock carbs, it would be with the original airbox.quote:Originally posted by Wanker
160mph ? Riiiiiiiiiight . Thing still even has the airbox.
IF I Rollie Freed it I MIGHT get 130-135 tops.
