new 05 gs500f.

I posted before that I took the bike for a spin at night.

exactly at 9000rpm (didn't dare to go higher... or faster) I was doing 110-115mph (had a quick glance at speedometer only because I had to keep my eyes on the road).

im sure at 10,000rpm or higher I can kill myself easily.

last night went for a ride, on my 05 gs500f i had it up to about 115, and there was some more, i don't yet know how much though, cuz there was 3 other riders ahead of me, and the road wasnt gettin any longer.

I have never been to 100 on mine but I am sure it would.  60mph in 3rd no prob.   My old DR 650 would do 100 without even blinking.

110 indicated for me. That 6 miles on 295 to work will get me my first speeding ticket for sure. I want it to be a good one  

This was at 3AM folks. No one in my way.

never been over a hundred on public roadways, did it once, never intend to do it again...


saving my thrills for the track...

i've had my stock '04 f redlined through the gears on the back straight at pocono FUSA,  i THINK i hit around 110mph.

when on the track i noticed  that when you wring this little babys' neck WFO and hit (and go past) the redline it makes this 'PHISH" sound when you upshift (i would hear that sound when i play xbox motogp2 and never knew what it was until that trackday).

i was not paying too much attention to top speed at the time, next trackday i will make a note of it.

btw - i had my gps on the other night trying out an experiment on the garden state parkway. when going 70mph indicated the gps reported 60mph. it seems the indicated is 10mph slower.
