It's surprising that neither one of those jet skis have good top end. I mean, the old GP1200Rs could do like 80+ on glass, as well as the Kawasaki Ultra 150.



I'm still waiting for the 13B watercraft.
I've never seen a stock jetski hit 80+ MPH. Kawasaki's Ultra 150 was the fastest out of the crate in regards to top speed and it did something really close to 66 MPH. One could probably hit 100 MPH if they were gauging speed with the stock speedometer.

Are you sure? Because I've heard Yamaha GP1200Rs get 80 pretty easily.

One thing you have to remember is that what the stock gauge reads and what you are acctualy doing are two different stories. The stock gauges are not accurate on water, you are really going slower the what it reads. I once had a friend bring his GPS on my boat and it read i was going 10-15mph slower then what the gauge said.

My family owns a GP1200R along with three other jetskis so I am pretty sure. Heh.
