How fast is is your old GS?

humm

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.

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.

140 indicated at 7,500 in fourth gear. Red-line of 10,500.
That was enough of that for me.
Only got two tires and if one went boom...

My fastest speed in the 1/4 is 182 and change on a legal pro street GS

Is it a turbo or a 1500?

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.

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.

How fast?

The fastest I could get my '81 1100E and 750E was 85! The tachs were getting up there, though.

What's that? Like 80MPH?

No, more like 100 mph, not bad for a 400 I'd say.
Had mine up to that in 3rd gear
