That same guy thought the GS1100's , "80" thru "82" would only go 80 mph. cause that's as far as the speedometer would go... Good thought I guess.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

I've never understood yall's way of figuring, when ya'll are do'in 80 we're only at 50 and when ya'll get to 160 we're only at 100... I'd never accuse anybody of cheating, but how could that be fair??????1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw.

Multiply 80 and 50 times 2 and you get your 160 and 50Originally posted by rphillips View Post

When you're do'in 160 and we're do'in 100 we're 60 behind... Divide 160 and 100 by 2, down to 80 and 50, then we're only 30 behind. Seems we may be catching up.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Wow, 174 MPH near Winnipeg on a GS1150? That’s crazy! Thanks for sharing. It's cool to hear real stories like this. It really helps bring the topic to life, especially when most of us can only imagine what riding that fast feels like.Originally posted by argonsagas View PostComment

That had to be an absolutely insane 1150. Mine was good for about 140 and that's all she wrote."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

I truly believe it's a tall tale. My 1150 was seriously built. 1229 piston kit, head porting, oversized valves, 38 mil flatslide carbs,cams Dyna coils and ignition balanced crank bla bla bla. It would go nowhere near 175.Originally posted by GS1150Pilot View PostComment

The full race head I bought from the mechanic/machinist of the honda 750/4 race team said I'd get 13K revs from the cam, he ported the head from o to O, theoretically that would be over 200 mph, but, wind resistance etc. All I can say is the bike went VERY fast, 180mph was a guess. I think I got up to 11K revs, do the maths if you want to, I was 5' 8" & 7st 2pd, not a very large person. Tucked in behind a bikini fairing. The cam is the heart of a motor, from 8K to 13 is a long way.Comment

Oh that's right I'm talking to people not from my country, 1 stone is 14 pounds, do the maths, if you want to. Also the best tyre's I could buy, good sprockets & new o ring chain. Hmm any thing else?Comment
