HELP! :( Underpowered/restricted 1986 VFR750F

Hello,
I bought a 1986 VFR750F yesterday. I had such fond memories of an 1986 VFR700 Interceptor which I regretted selling about twelve years ago and realized I had to have another.
I've been told it was imported into the United Kingdom around 2002. I noticed today on my first real ride, that with the throttle wide open in fifth gear it will only manage about 90mph. It also felt underpowered when overtaking. I am not comparing it directly against another bike as I haven't ridden for a couple of years.

Could my bike be restricted depending on its country of origin. I tried to decode the VIN but the writing on the small white sticker is impossible to make out. In the lower gears, it will rev to about nine thousand rpm.

I greatly appreciate any and all advice, thanks and best wishes, TBS.

 

90 mph.....:scared:
Did you gave her a well tune?
Carb are sync?

 

only 90 ? sounds like a tune up/sync and compression test are in order.... it should do 90 on two cylinders....

 

Make sure the brakes aren't dragging

 

Could you remove the air box and post some pictures of the assembly? I remember reading something aboot how bad the air box would be choked down on restricted bikes in the U.k. .

 

Thanks everybody for your advice. Obviously I should have stated that the 90 mph was a professional rider on a closed private circuit.

It has been recently serviced and I've bled the brakes, they aren't dragging. What do you mean by a 'well tune'? I'll have a look at the airbox this weekend, in terms of a carb sync and compression test I'll have to book it into a garage as I don't have the tools for it.
