Wow. 
I read in these post that the 750's dont come alive until the higher rpms. Had to try it fo myself..Well I think I was in only 3rd around 70mph, and then I was, climbing well past 100, then 105, cruised, then comon sense kicked in.

Nice.

What do the 750's top out out?

Depends on how much money you're willing to spend   Let us know when you find out!

Stock, my "F" tops out around 125 (redline), but still pullin'    Good thing for common sense, and back to the speed limit

100+ is good for the soul. Don't do it much with my 550, but my BMW all the time.

Jay B How about your 350? Im still fooling with mine. It runs good and snappy in the first 3 gears. 4th will pull and wind up but 5th just goes flat. 70 mph its all done. I have throttlle to spare and twist but it wont sputter, bog or anything. Ive got 4>1 mac and 75 jets. The engine was rebuilt by a previous owner and I dont know if it was bored out or not.Im thinking of trying 80 jets and retuning. My next tool purchase will be a timing light. Sorry if this is off topic. But my 75 550k will only go @ 90.Guess I need to tune that one more also...

My 350 will hit 90 indicated on a good day. All stock except the exhaust, which is a cobbled together 4 into 2. My 550 will hit a little over 100, also all stock, except with a Hondaman ignition in it. I've gotta buy a timing light also, but static timing works well if you are real carefull. Check to see if your advancers are sticky.

I can't wait to see what my 750 will do when it ever gets back to one piece. I've seen the wrong side of 170 mph on track which is pretty scary - like looking through a letterbox. Also been past a cop car on my old Ducati at 140mph and videoed it. Well it was the Isle of Man so all perfectly legal officer...
