My 1981 R80G/S would reach 160km/h ...
I'd run at 120km/h all day .. the bike might go faster but that is what I did.
Possibly you have oil in the air cleaning box that is going to the carbys - blocking some small paths .. leading to poor fuel consumption .. look for oil/dirt at the bottom of the inlet to the carby.
What fuel consumption are you getting? That is what I'd be complaining about!
