So, how fast have you guys been going on your GS's? Anybody bury the needle? Top speed for me was 190 kmh(118mph). Didn't notice any wobble or anything either. I love it!

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I've had mine to 175 km/h as indicated on the speedo.  I started to feel a little bit of a wobble and got nervous as hell.  It was a long straight line and it was fun......once.  Think I'll stick to more sane speeds from now on!!

120-125 some where there abouts on highway 36 :) on my way back from austin . was riding with a 900RR and we got on it .. ( or corse he made me look like i was just sitting there ) but if it was not for that truck on the side of the road ( looked like a state trooper tuck ) then i probly could have had 130(mph ) its just once you hit about ... 115 i think it is . it just takes so long to get the rest of it (if your all stock likeme )

All of the measured top speeds reported by the magazine road testers over the past 15 years have been between 99 mph and 111 mph.   :dunno_white:

Yeah, those are actual top speeds. The ones posted in (most) threads are indicated speeds, as you could probably guess.

The GS isn't made for high speed. It just doesn't have the power for it.

Deathlucky, the only 'safe' place to be going 180 km/h is the track.
