    fun night with the 80 GS550

    Ran my 1980 GS550e at the track tonight. I thought I did pretty well for my first time to a track ever. The bike went 15.03 @ 87.54 mph...with my 1/8th mile in 9.50 @ 73.5mph. With some more practice and smoother shifting i think i can be in the 14's pretty easily. Let me know what y'all think~


    (background on bike, just got it this summer, been sitting outside for 2+ years, hadn't been street ridden in over 14 years. )

    Sounds about right. I ran across a magazine test of a 78 550 a while back. Their quarter mile times were low 14s, don't remember the exact numbers. Of course that was with a new bike and a professional rider.
