How fast is a P&M Kawasaki?

Insight into the performance of a P&M Kawasaki was shown in a MIRA test for Motor Cycling Weekly in 1980. In road trim and weighing 477lb with fuel, the 1105cc F1 Replica clocked an average two-way top speed of 140.5mph using a speed gun on the mile-long but bumpier straights, where the bike was airborne much of the time. But for that it might have pulled the high gearing of almost 150mph at 9000rpm. Despite this, acceleration was fierce enough to beat any other bike on the road, clocking twoway average standing quarter mile of 11.62 seconds with a terminal speed of 117.89mph.
