how fast can you go on your GS!

[Jay_wolf]

When i did it , it was on a motorway at 3 am , clear , no cars around , and i wanted to push it , my stepdad on the other hand , hit 170 on his gsxr 1100 fighter , he sed it was intense and got white line syndrome , ,it looks like a soild line lol

Have fun kids ,

I have a friend who was clocked multiple time in excess of 200mph   He's no longer allowed to operate a motorcycle and has a few years til he can drive agaiin   (He was in Special Forces, now contracts in Iraq, so he's one of the crazier ones)

When people are shooting at you, the ability to drive/ride fast may well be considered an asset, not a liability.

Too bad the state of georgia didn't see it that way.  I whole-heartedly agree, though.

[gsJack]

You crazy kids should be ashamed of youselves going that fast on a GS500 on a public road.  The claimed speeds of 120-140 mph are certainly faster than I would or could go on a public road on a GS500.   

Well, way back in 02 (2002 not 1902) a couple months before I turned 70, I did get my stock 97 GS500 up to 110 mph indicated in the mountains of upstate NY.  Looking back, I think that with my Plexi 2 shield and my 240# butt on board that I must have had a bit of tail wind or have been on a slight downgrade to get it up to 110 and that's all she had.   

I can honestly say that I've never been over 80-85 mph in my 8th decade though.

GSJack when were you in Upstate NY? Where were you?

[DaxFX]

I don't know why you need modificationfications for the GS I touch the 130 mph last nigth without any mods. if you mod you engine is for race ,, and please tell me wish bike you going to race there no more bike inthis category, only old Kawa Ninja 500. so if you want racing mods buy a new bike  like My favorite GSX 1000. on that you can touch 180mph that is fast, an if you whant kill yourself a hayabusa is the best suicide booth. goes over 200mph . with my buddy's busa I touch the 120mph in 2nd gear

Went to Americade in Lake George in 2001 and 2002, rode up there with JP (son), a local friend, and a couple of online friends from Atlanta in 02. Stayed out in North Creek and took a group ride up north west of there one day, had lunch near Lake Placid where they held the winter Olympics a few years before.  A few of us took off from the group after lunch and never saw them again,  some real nice roads up there.

You have to remember the speedo is off , my new acewell wont be , so ill be able 2 say how fast im going , it uses the size of the rim , and works out the rotations ,

Hmm, i dunno , i was blasting along about indicated 130 , and then outta no where this Busa just makes me look like im standing still , it left my sight after about 30 secs , that is quick , lucky i never had any symtoms of Fuel Starvation

oH! man for me was worst, 2 of my closer friend have 1 busa and 1 GsX1000 last nigth when I touch the 130 mph , when I was about 85 or 90 mph the GX was at my side and I was at full gas praying for more power an de GX he press the clutch an was only like broom , broom, broom, very relax and I was like a super racer with the face down an sleeping on the tank . hehehe then the GX left the cluth and do m&%(*$ f*#2^ wheely an left me like I was 0 mph , and the busa he saw the 1000, waaaaaaannn I say he pass me about 180mph. I look like a clown on a minicycle .....

What is this fascination with the 'busa???   It's, quite literally, an overgrown katana.  It is a sport tourer.  The geometry of the 'busa is very relaxed in comparison to the gix line.  If you put similar riders on track on a gix1k and a 'busa, the 'busa would get it's ass handed to it.    OVERGROWN KATANA!!!

I work at a Suzuki Dealer and we sell alot of Busas to older 50+ Males as "Sport Touring Bikes" That is what Suzuki considers them.

Anyway.. I think they are great for touring... Super fast and fairly comfortable

It's still a f%$king behemoth, that's why on all of his in-traffic shaZam! he rides that gix1k

[Jay_wolf]

The carbon Fibre one or the Turbo one?



Im sure hes got 2 GSXR1000 k5's

one was a turbo , and one was covered in Carbon Fibre

[spc]

they're on in the same gix1000k4 full carbon fiber bodywork and turbo'ed, though not as impressively as the 'busa, I remember hearing it was in the 200rwhp range.

That's the area I'm from..AJ and I are not too far at all from that area (about 20 minutes). Let me know if you're going to make it up this way again 

[Black Sunshine]

I've had an indicated 115ish so far, didnt really want to push it much more. Plus the front got a bit light and started weaving. The day I find an empty, completely clear road, smooth, no junctions, no cops, dead straight etc etc is the day I will see what the top end is on mine.

[Jay_wolf]

i could of sworn he had two , but after watching back to basics,.

Mhmm thats a bike id love with fairings 

[spc]

Yeah, I'd ride that plastic bike

[cerius]

I got mine up to about 105 -110 i wasnt paying too much atention to my speedometer. I had still some throttle left in it I think it was up to 7k RPMs in 5th gear, everything was still stock then even body lol. I want to go to a race track and see what it will do after I upgrade it and everything next year maybe.
