Title: I'm back on two wheels
Post by: redhenracing2 on August 26, 2010, 07:30:36 AM
Well, it's been almost a year since I sold my GS. Some of you old timers may remember it, as shown here:

The new bike, well no it's not a twin. Still counts as a cousin maybe?

It's a mint '94 750. Has over 28k on it, must be all highway miles because this thing runs like it just rolled out of the crate. It's definitely no starter bike, I am very glad that I spent my share of time on the GS. Anyone who thinks they can hop on one of these for their first bike is a fool. (Yes, I know it's been done before, but still. Bad idea.)

Every time someone mentions the difference of power always makes me wonder what a 600+ cc bike will do, I'm curious. I'd love to do a test drive or a demo day or something, but there aren't any near me.

I can tell you, by the time my GS could get to 60 this thing would be at 120+, and still pulling hard. You can't gun it in first or second gear without the front wheel coming up.
