    Does any one race a GS550?

    I have a GS 550 and would like to get more power out of it. Has any one built one that was raced or made into a strong street bike. I want to go from 50hp to about 75hp!!!

    Buy a 750 that's the easiest & cheapest way! Buy a 16v one you can even go to 90hp....

      Wind it out? 550 can take it. The red line means nothing.
      Flog it mercilessly?
      GS 650 cylinders bored for 750 pistons?
      Pods, pipes, cams, the usual suspects
      Or just buy a bigger bike.
