I sometimes find myself trying to shift into sixth gear when riding my 1000e. I'm thinking about changing the gear ratio when I order new chain and sprockets this spring.

Only GS bikes with 6 speeds were the 550 and under. 650 and up were all 5 speeds.

Guest repliedHad it up to about 65 mph on the trailer behind my old 12 valve dodge when bringing it home. If I ever get it road worthy I might beat that by at least 20 or so mph.

There are tests out there showing the FZ750 in particular having sub 11 second quarter mile times and top speeds around 150 mph. The Suzukis were pretty much the same. The tests could be a little.optimistic, but not a lot.
