My Bandit 1200 didn't come close to this performance, K&N, pipe, and Dynojet Stage 1 with 104 jet, just a dog that dies at 130mph. I bought a ZRX1200R with the same money, and it would kill this bike stone stock. Kawasaki, let the good times roll.
Shifting at 8500 rpm makes it faster because ps and torque are lowering from that revs..... but nice movie. With a open Bos Exhaust the sound makes it complete.
Still pulling. Nice for a stock-ish bike. Probably another 5~10mph speed to come, so safely into the 140s true speed
My early 1200 isn't stock. On that the red line in top (10k on mine) on stock gearing is about 155mph true / 170mph indicated. Most it has managed is 181.8mph through timing lights, but that was with a bit of a tail wind that day (needle was well off the end of the clock). No sign on any speed limiter.
yeah well i passed a morrie thou in top gear on mine,that sucka was rattln like at schoolboy in a whorehouse at 50mph so I took him good!

And yet I sold it for more than I paid for it with all mods included. Fastest way to get rid of a headache.

@dalotel then there was something seriously wrong with it. I have a bandit 600 and that'll do just over 130, on the clock.

@zelatur The 1250 has 6 gears. If you own a old Bandit like me you only have 5
