How fast is is your old GS?

[Roy]

All I know is my speedo ends @85 and thats around 5500 to 6000 RPMs in 5th gear. I've been up to 8000 (and a hair more) in 5th.

I had a clutch like that once.

Faster than yours!
9.72@146+mph was my GS1150 best at the track but I am sure I have had her over 160+mph on the street

IN VT it's illegal to pursue if the perpetrator is exceeding 100 MPH on State roads (some safety law)... Not sure about the interstate though.

Sounds like 100 is the new minimum cruising speed.

Minimum 100 is good. Gotta get my speedometer cable swapped out so I have a good estimate.

Fast enough to make me giggle like a schoolgirl....The best thing about these old bikes is that younger riders underestimate them....Then are shocked.

Read it again, you have to "exceed" 100, so make it at least 101

I haven't been over 100 in a week, I keep itchin to see how fast they'll really go, but it's been many many years since I've been up to 140 on a bike, and that was only once, on the Skunk I used to own. The fear of getting caught holds me back.

I did ~90 one time. I was going to click it up into 5th, but I caught up to trafic and decided against it. In 4th every 1000rpm nets another 10mph~, so once I ran the spedo out I'm just estimateing. I think I can bust the ton given enough clear road and no cops.

Not bad for a 450 with a fat guy on the back, and a 1+ tooth CS.

Hade my 2004 Honda rune wide open more than once 131 is flat out. Can't wait to see what the GS 1100 will do

[Guest]

I see a indicated 165 mph on my 98 gsxr1100 once, was one of those just have to see moments , but the bike was still pulling and I backed off it was fast enough for me.

Good, except that is not an OLD GS

Older than the 04 HONDA posted above mine and mine was still a GS can't help the fact it was an XR and it is still old it is 15 years old it's not new

[gearhead13]

Well its a Suzuki, but not a GS IMO.
And I dont even know what a Honda Rune is not that I care anyway, but it shouldnt be here either.

On my 82 last weekend going across the desert on an unnamed straight as an arrow deserted two lane I got her up to 8600 rpm on a flat stretch after about a minute, don't know how fast it was but I think I got about all of it anyway.
