Racing the 1/4 mile

[Juanfer]

16's hey... pretty good, and shows that the GS has staying power - 94 model matching it with the 2003.

1/4 mile is great fun when its off the street and in a safe environment....

thanks for the post, love reading the numbers...

stay safe  

[Juanfer]

Yeah...I wonder what numbers would it do in a lower altitude...at the sea level power increases notoriously.

sorry but i have to say, 16 sec 1/4 mile is sad for a motorcycle.......(no i'm not saying the GS sucks   )

well 16 sec is what normal cars run and bikes should be in the 13's and lower....i'm sure that a stock GS can run mid 14's if riden propertly

The air is thin at 8500 ft. above sea level dude! Cut the guy some slack!!

once again people get a wrong idea of what i was trying to say....i didn't say anything about Juanfer beeing a bad rider, it looked like the gs was running 17's because i got used to small bikes going 13's and 14's....sport bikes 11's and 10's but at the time i wrote the message i didn't know that all other cars were slower then his GS....if the wrx ran slower than his GS that's awsome, but i didn't know the air up there is so thin to make a engine run with a lot less power

On my GS I lose to cars often, the semi sporty sedans with decent V6's all wipe the floor with me... once I lost to a new OvloV... that plain hurt, as did the little chineese girl in there driving it and laughing at me... then I see that its a pretty quick car, and it will outrun a Mitsu eclipse... so I didn't feel so bad. But still ... OTOH, I outrun people with my eli's all the time, corvettes and hot rodded harley clones... they are the best to humiliate.
Cool.

Corrected for sea level your best time is about a 14.978 - not bad for a first timer on a stock bike.  :mrgreen:
