How fast is is your old GS?

[lecroy]

i can go roughly 220mph on my 1982 GS 650

Wow!! What kind of drill did you hook to your speedo cable to get those readings?

did you have 19 front and 22 rear teeth?? how long did it take you to get it up to around 220MPH (354.0557Km/h)

LoL

About 30mph but it seemed a lot faster because me and the bike were sliding down the street beside each other.

According to the 1980 spec speedo, 85 mph. Beyond that speed, humans spontaneously combust.

You can add the '81 speedo to that. Anything faster and I just call it plaid.

Again, as I've stated in another thread. Phil, I ALWAYS obey the posted speed limit. That's it. So, my GS will do 60, as that is the highest posted speed limit I've come across.


Right Earl? 8) 8)

Ok, fun's over, I've been to 105, yet with my older tires. It started to wobble a bit. 8O
With my New tires, I've hit 100 and all was well, but I've no desire to go faster. I've had a bit of throttle left. I just don't really have the street to test it on.

Hey, this should be some kinda record.

This thread was originally started in '02 and the poster is gone?

Hmm.

I actually do obey the speed limits, But those open roads in lower Mississippi are just to inviting to stay at 55.
I can do that in 1st!

I had my '82 GS1100 EZ up to an indicated 200 kmph and it was still pulling! This is with a barn door windshield and my fat ass on the bike, ( 6'2", 270lbs) 8O

My '80 GS 1000G has an 85 mph speedo. It only goes 85. It's a fast 85, though.

[earlfor]

I usually shift the 1150 out of 3rd a little past 100.

E. :-)
