Signet:
What I said is true and done on paved roads not gravel (in fact, it was done on a trip to Lake Isabella). Also, the GS 650 had the factory on road/off road tires. In addition, this group of riders were well seasoned with no chicken stripes on their tires. BTW, if you do any riding through the canyons, you may have noticed that "typically" the "fastest" are "great riders" on motards. Yes, I agree that on straights the GS 650, motard or Suzuki SV 650 has no chance, but in the twisties below 110 mph and where one carries corner speed thats a different story.
If, you think I am liar, next time you go riding in the canyons go pick a race with a good rider on one of these underpowered machines and then you will see the light. Again, I am talking about street riding in the real canyons of life, not racing or drag racing down straight aways.
