My last Tv175 was completely original and gps top speed was 64
A quite illuminating thread.................
I had a 'GP 200' in 1971.................. well some people thought it was ...................
Actually it was a 125dl that I bought brand new.
A number of my friends at the time thought it was a 200, (didn't look too closely at the forks).
Why did they think this?
Because after running it in, it regularly showed 68mph on the speedo! (Veglia of course)
I've absolutely no idea how fast it was really going, but at the time I could easily keep up with SX/GT/GP 200's, and no, it hadn't got the wrong engine in it!
Lol..............

Yes, they make a lot of difference and not in a good way.. Loud and big isn't always better.
That's not going anywhere...
