    1428 and a sweet head

    I get to 155 in 1320 feet. easily clipping 126 in the 8th and almost a 30 mph increase out the back door. no power adders just natural aspiration.

    that was last year I have done a few tricks to my transmission to go faster and quicker for this year.

      Most of the standard GSTHOU'S I have owned have topped out round the 135 mark,but have owned a few faster ones ie,one with a V&M tuned gsxr1100 motor fitted now that was very fast had to gear it up to stop it going airboure in every gear,I ran it with my mates fireblade he was pulling around the 160 mark and the GS was up his cuff happy days'.Back in 83 I had a ex race winning GSX1100ET it was supposed to be a standard proddie bike but it could run off the clock at will.

          Is it a turbo or a 1500?

                      140 indicated at 7,500 in fourth gear. Red-line of 10,500.
                      That was enough of that for me.

                        The guy I bought my 1986 GS550ES from said it maxed out at 114 on his GPS. Right now it goes as fast as I can push it around the garage. I'll post back this fall after it goes 114 again. Wait - I'm 25 lbs bigger. We'll see.

                          Try a 14 tooth counter sprocket, that will wake it up. I'm running a 14T on my 78 GS550 and she run over 115 riding 2 up.

                            1977 GS 750B. My friend has a 83 or so honda 750. We got in a little "conversation" about suzuki and honda. Long story short I had him Beat by maby 5 mph lol. My speedo was reading about 125.

                                750b

                                The first road test by Cycle magazine in 1977 (I still have a copy) printed a top speed of 133mph as indicated on the speedometer. That impressed the hell out of me. I bought one that spring. My friend (wingman) had a '75 Z1. He rode the GS right after I got it and when he got off of it, he said that it was far superior to the Kawasaki. He was right. I recall witnessing that Z1 getting into a high speed wobble when the GS managed the 100+ mph speed as if it were doing 50.
