I don't know either...but R is winning!

[BaltimoreGS]

I just tied it up with a vote for T

I just got the R back ahead!

This thread sucks. WTF is R and T?

[black and silver twin]

"T"urbo takes the lead!

What is R & T?

Re-read the first post with them in it.... Rocket.... Turbo

Want a faster GS, you either need R or T

See. Makes sense now, right?

But this is all straight line speed. What about cornering speed?

I think for additional cornering speed, maybe something like a Batmobile Grappling Hook GH). It shoots out, wraps around a tree or something, stops the centripetal force flinging you out, then magically retracts back into the bike in readiness for the next corner.

And after the R or T, you need to upgrade the B.

So add an R or T, upgrade the B and install a GH and you too can impress your unknowing friends with jargon use

So what is a "B"?

baterang?
Biotch?

[Bluehaze]

i voted R.  Biotches our R rated GS is going to kick T rated GS anyday.

In answer to the original question: how much of a difference will I feel if...

Well, truth be told,... not much. You can throw a ton of money at it, and the difference will still be... not much.

[dauphinc]

The R is still in the lead!
As far as power goes..umm..air cooled carburetion..yeahhhhh...have fun getting out much power. Get a busa if you want power. The gs is just a fun, modifiable,easy to throw around in the curves bike to me. To each his own i suppose.

Alright guys I got a 89 gs500e. I wana turn it Into a streetfighter. But I want a little more "juice". I installed a yoshi slipon. What I wanted to know was how much of a difference would u feel with a pipe, k&n filter and a jetkit? I know it probly won't be crazy power but would I feel a big difference? Thanx!

A pipe, K&N, and jets will give you a few more HP and will sound a lot better.  The best way to add power is to bore it out and install bigger pistons, but it's somewhat expensive and not very easy.  If you want significantly more power than you have now you're better off buying a different bike as others have said.

Dave Johnson has a thread on this site about road racing his GS 500.  He says adding more than about 10 HP to the GS "costs a Subaru".

[BaltimoreGS]

All true but there is the psychological effect of an aftermarket exhaust that makes the bike "feel" faster

Michael

wait, rocket and turbo were the serious answer?    lol i thought that was just a joke. well seeing as how a rocket wouldnt actually increase engine power, it would just be a seperate supply of power, i gotta vote turbo! 

[glynnd89]

you actually want to increase centripetal force to stay in the curve, which is done by increasing friction. lol

[dauphinc]

you actually want to increase centripetal force to stay in the curve, which is done by increasing friction. lol

So just put a centrifical clutch on it off of a go kart! that would do nicely!

[O.C.D.]

...............yes, then install Gimball servos for each axis so that when you jump off of cliffs your rockets COG will not be affected.  This thread is junk, lol.

This thread is junk, lol. 

 

The only true way to increase the power of the GS is to first buy the model that had the Magic installed.

Then, on the third full moon after the Summer Solstice, take it to a newly harvested field, set a ring of agates around it. Then recite the 2nd paragraph of the 51 verse of The Book of Molich as kept by custodial methods by the keepers of the ancient scrolls of Molex.

Then, on the 2nd Monday of the third month post the Solstice event, apply a GSXR sticker to the bike. And as you do proclaim loudly, "Let the have more power". And finish with... "make it so".

I suppose I'll vote for 'T'.  What a nice, symmetrical letter. 

[glynnd89]

Mister, I think you have been reading too much Merlin, or watched Willow too many times haha.
