Vash, me and my buddies back then, definately set some speed records traveling from Staten Island down to the Jersey Shore. Didnt think twice flying down the Garden State Parkway at 130, 140. Last one in our shore house driveway had to pick up the beer for the weekend.
One bud had a Ninja 750 turbo. which my bike was still able to eat alive. Another had a GS550 and the other had a VFR750
We pulled some real idiotic stuff , but when youre in your early 20's you are invincible. My turning point was going down at 75 on the Staten Island expressway. A car pulled into my lane without signaling and tapped me. I caught a bad shake and I had to lay the bike down. I lucked out with a little road rash on my arm and knee. Bike suffered major plastic damage.
Yeah that bike also came in blue and white and a rare Limited edition red white and blue.
