Must Hear Sound of World’s Quickest Suzuki GS Street Bike! Wow!

[@joechancio5177]

Oldschool rules.....love watching richard run this bike. Its always a favorite

[@xisleprez]

That's so awesome to see! I had a '79 GS , Frank Giordano did my engine, Bob Carpenter did my head and I had his Vazar pro stock pipe w/meing swingarm. I worked at Atco racway in 1985-86, Ricky Gadson had his GS 1150ES street bike. The 80's Philly street bikes we're seriously the fastest around! I was 19 years old. Great times back then!

[@cwest7333]

Yes sir!! My personal favorite of all pro street bikes! It screams down the track like no other!

[@cycledrag]

I agree 100%. Fun to watch. Who is your favorite?

[@omieboriboun9862]

Great detailed info on this rare bike. Thank you for keeping the drag scene spicy, along with Frankie and Rickey; the whole Pro street racing class IS all Turbocharged Hayabusas. 6.6X's are at the top of the field numbers too. Congrats on the numbers. Old Air Cooled Suzuki's are still relevant in today's tech. Hope you guys get to the 6.50's that everyone is gunning for these days.

[@cycledrag]

Thank you very much. Who do you think will be the first in the 6.50s?

[@kawythowy867]

Nice garage and even nicer bike. Thanks for sharing. Gotta love the old school bikes.

HOLY CRAP! What a beast! Coolest bike ever, I think!

[@cycledrag]

Does that still stand?

[@damer651]

truly amazing bike - sounds ferocious.

[@cycledrag]

It's mean!

[@johngilbert6810]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@jollyguevara9127]

Fantastic . We saw Prostock Katanas in the earlie 80s , the sound was and is so cool. Greetings from Germany

[@johna6968]

Smashed the like button mainly for that noise.

[@kennethartioli3385]

I bought one in Red brand new in 1980. It was awesome.

[@charlier122]

Love watching this thing go down the track

[@mc1dash1b]

I own an '82GS1100E and an '09Hayabusa. I just never thought of combining them. This badboy sounds awesome and 6.6? Without a wheelie bar? No doubt it beats the turbo Busa with a jump off the line like that. Good job.

[@cycledrag]

Ha, cool! How's the GS on the street?

[@barcodefly]

Sounds awesome. Had a couple of gs1000s and a 1100e (82?) back in the day. Eddie Lawson superbike bars and a bassani street or strip 4 in to 1 exhaust. I’ve rode Harleys for a long time now but I do miss my 1100. But that is straight up badass. Thanks for crankin it!

[@WilliamLong-p3r]

You got that dialed in foreal

[@jaysongraft3627]

Badass bike. Classic

[@flyingcatsofthesalishsea.]

thats frekin sick guys...wow...

[@shortdog00100]

Old School tech new school fair. Love it

[@rickqueen65]

Had a chance to talk to these guys about the bike at MIR about a year ago. 1 nice piece of machinery. So nice I had to buy one.

[@steven6611]

That big block! OMG, a 1640cc. And the monster head! Lectron carbs! I can smell the race gas from here. Gave me a woody!

[@yoshy4072]

I own a 1980 since new, I love this beast, if I can find another 80-81 gs I'm going to build a replica/tribute like this beast! Cheers!

[@hughsnyder891]

Very cool , I once had an 86 1150 GSES I think it was the one with a nice GP style fairing . Had it bored to 1260 . It was a really nice bike and wish I still had it .

[@cycledrag]

Very cool, what was it like to ride?

[@hughsnyder891]

CycleDrag it was very nice . Once drove it to Atlanta from chicago and a week later went to the Pocono mtns in Pa. from Atlanta then after a few days back to chicago. I would ride up in Wisconsin a lot. Since it’s farm land there are plenty of long country farm roads . Once went over 160mph after looking carefully on the road for potholes etc then turning around and opening it up . Quite the rush 😎It was a great bike 😎

[@cycledrag]

@@hughsnyder891 Great story! I hope to add one to the collection someday.

[@VCX3WSG]

Nice drag bike

[@mikerieck306]

Saw this bike (was pitted next Jerry Cooper) and watched it run at Valdosta 11/2019. It is a beast

[@kerry1111111]

Used to run a 80 GS way back in the day :) Nice Bike ya got there!

i would like to see a profile on that orange and black gs1150,that also a awesome bike on u tube

[@paulscountry456]

Looks Super,beautiful motor,those GS any GS is a great durable motor,those GS would just smoke a KZ and handle better,god that is crazy fast.

[@jeanlucgarcia4292]

Nice Nice the GS 1000👊💖

[@motosportadv8177]

She sounds sooooooo beautiful 🤟👍😊😊😊😊!

[@derekv275]

Omg I wish my 81 gs1100 sounded like that lol insane

[@rpeagram]

With lectron flat slides……… it’s a modern blast from my past!!

[@m.n.8957]

Is there any reason why you picked the GS motor over the GSX?

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

Love it...awesome..

[@johnnymoran180]

Fortune spent there.

[@shayearl2369]

Like how much

[@patriciabadeau5600]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE INTERNALS OF THE CYLINDER HEAD! THE EXHAUST HEADER DIAMETER IS HUGE. AND NEW LECTRONS, FUEL INJECTED. VERY KOOL. WITH A BIG K!

[@carbonconnection2480]

Go check out monster 4 valve head. Plenty to see

[@ltsgarage7780]

Beautiful bike. I dont really think it's an old school bike though. Carbon fiber & all Billet equates to be new school with an old school look. Very nice

[@cycledrag]

Good analysis. Not much from 1985, just the cases.

[@nitrousking23]

AIRTIME POWER... The greatest Ever!!!

[@cycledrag]

I see you know your drag bike racing. What's your best airtime story?

[@joshsutcliffe6099]

[@sashman904]

WoW Jst mind blowing.master peice,M frm the country of Himalayas NEPAL.I rode couple of GS150R,also called lanza150r in many countries,2007-Greenish Blue(ODO-84,000+ kms) and 2012 Pearl White(ODO50,00+ kms).it's a 13.8 hp ,13.8 nm,dohc , single cylinder,twin valve, constant mesh,gear driven engine coupled with throttle positioning system (TPS),Engine Balancer,and additional shaft power transfer from engine for the smoothest ride.it had 3 riding modes normal,power,eco,6 gear and superbike like gear ratios,which cud pull insanely from 30kmph in 6th gear. massive tank of 25 liters,though company claims 15.5 ltrs.i achieved 76 km/ltr in ECO mode.its a hell of torqy beast,my top speed 145kmph in power mode. Best bike I ever rode

[@kylestewart8049]

Old school cool

[@orsoncart9441]

My gawd! it's even got an electric starter. Great. well done.

[@cycledrag]

You have to see this bike in person. It's something to see! Thanks a lot for the feedback. Please subscribe and share this channel with some friends who would enjoy it! Thanks! I'll keep the content coming!

[@cyriously_nick2191]

Gs were electric start from factory...

[@DanTheMan454]

I have an 80 gs1100 bored to 1500 and lightweight internals and V&H air filters and exhaust it goes 90+ in first gear and the stock speedo only goes to 85. My ignition system took a shit my stater and rectifier keep taking a shit on me then it fouls the plugs and will hardly go. My nephew recently hit my original mint gas tank with a hammer a couple times and dented it pretty good. I live in PA too.

[@anthonyjennings8108]

love this bike but why is back half so high

[@sigma7568]

No radiators???

[@MarkJettner]

Go the ol Suzi. !

[@LtJackboot]

Slip to 6:41 if you want to hear the bike without all the details.

[@ΚωσταςΔημητριαδης-λ2σ]

ΟΠΛΟ!!!!😊😊😊

[@2x4barrels40]

My first question WHAT'S the HORSEPOWER !!!

[@cycledrag]

I believe around 600

[@2wheelsr2wheels39]

Six minutes into a 7:50 video and still no engine sound? Then when when we hear the sound it's just start-up, idle and two throttle blips? Plus it's a replica. Oh well... I got what I paid for.

[@cycledrag]

We want to give you options. Some want info on the bike, some want the rumble, you can certainly fast forward. thanks for watching!

[@9carcottrell246]

Terry Vance bike blows the tires off

[@cycledrag]

Which one? The Pro Stock GS?

[@brucekirk5386]

My 78GS1000 is super fast I could only imagine how fast this is

[@cycledrag]

How would you describe the ride?

[@truthseeker8483]

Street bike???????? Come on......

[@slimihendawg9612]

YEP, its street legal bro. You can tune it down and ride this beast to the track if you wanted to.....

[@truthseeker8483]

Slimi But would you? hehe

[@cycledrag]

DOT Tire baby

[@derekstegall9811]

The tank stickers lol 😆 nitrous oxide is for racing turbos are for diesels

[@brandoncorwin8812]

What about this makes it a GS? It looks like pretty much everything on that bike is custom machined, modified, or from a more modern motorcycle .

[@grabir01]

A more aerodynamic headlight would lower et

[@johnnymoran180]

Bring back REAL Pro Street bikes! Carbs, Nitrous, hand clutches, and real riders! Multistages are for riders with no talent!

[@cycledrag]

Please explain

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

👍👍

[@alanrobinsonxjr1200]

GS = 8 Valve GSX = 16 valve !

[@penfoldperry9874]

USA kept using the term GS despite them being 16valve

[@johnnymoran180]

Bring back real hand clutches! Let the riders ride! F the turbo cookie cutter Busas!

[@cycledrag]

Ha, I see you like the skill game. What's you favorite aspect of hand clutch racing?

[@bryanrothe4245]

Love the bike but how the hell do you think that's a street bike

[@cycledrag]

I get this a lot and understand the question. In teh wild world of dragbike racing no wheelie bars, a DOT tire and front and rear light make for a street bike

[@bryanrothe4245]

@@cycledrag okay I did not know that I don't agree with it but if that's the rule to me a street bike has all its lights proper tires a license plate and insurance and illegal exhaust I still love the bike and it's awesomely fast 👍🏽

[@cycledrag]

@@bryanrothe4245 the class has really evolved..you know how Pro drag racers are. 20 years ago it was called Street Bike Shootout. You had to complete a 20 mile road course to prove your integrity. The bikes ran 9s. More money came in, rules were loosened, now these marvels run 6.60s on DOT tires. I'm not sure how many would pass a road course, but it's still amazing.

[@Sickofsociety1]

So "1980" and "street bike" in theory only I'm guessing.

[@cycledrag]

Certainly based off a GS....Not much from the original bike. It has GS cases

[@srenjustsen4966]

Woouw

[@juandelacruz2188]

If thats the quickest show us, if no proof dont claim it!

[@cycledrag]

I have many videos of this bike on my channel for you. Please search Quickest GS and Richard Gadson.

[@tellthemwerenotsheep261]

I wouldn't like to take a corner on that or any other drag bike. Fair play for getting a street legal stamp on it.

Your more pro mod then pro street with those carbs

It's FI not carbureted. It just has flat slide throttle bodies

Street legal? I don't see a license plate...

Or mirrors.

[@journeyquest1]

Its morphed into something that cant be ridden on the street.

Yeah, thats about as much a street bike as my Versa being a formula one car.

[@mchristr]

Doesn't look like a street bike to me. But what the hell do I know? It is cool though.
