Just curious about this I know my GTS runs about 80 MPH in 6th gear
at 5000 RMP. Red line is 10,500 RMP. Does this mean the theoretical
top speed of the bike is 160 MPH or does the aerodynamic pressure build
and keep the bike from getting that fast?
HEY!!! How'd you get 6 gears.

Steve what's the story on the 6th gear ? I've been thinking about doing it
with an FZR or YZF gearbox. In the meantime I'm doing sprocket roulette.

You wont do it with a FZR, it is also a 5 speed
6th gear? Cool! :^)

Shit... I don't count the GL has 6, the WL has 3. GTS has what...
5? Now I'm pissed... for $13K they only give you 5 gears, no self
canceling turn signals, and a chain drive! :^)

OK, OK, so everyone has pointed out that Steve's GTS is a one-off Yamaha
Special with that 6th gear.but no one answered the question he asked.
The GTS will NOT go 160. Official tops I've seen are about 148 without
bags, and--get this--ten to fifteen less with the bags on. So, the
OK... I was trying to save from my mis typing. WL is a 45 cubic inch Harley
make from the beginning of time until the early 60's.Must be the KTM and
the DR that has 6 gears :^)

speedo's are on the top end. I was pulling about around 10,500 rpm, so I
figure I was around 140-145.

I have talked to Jordan Engineering and they can make a YZF750 gearbox
work with the FZR/GTS/YZF 1000 motor but the 750 gearbox would not
handle a whole lot more power for very long. I think as long as we're
talking about a relatively stock GTS it would probably be ok. Does
anyone know if the

Yup I know, but the racing FZR 750 had a six speed option. Stan

That is indeed theoretical. There are many factors that
Generally, top gear on most any motorcycle is 1 to 1. I know there are
exceptions, the Royal Brage being one where fourth is .9 to 1 and 5th is .75
to 1. However, understand the purpose for more gears in a transmission is
closer ratios. This becomes a factor when an engine's powerband becomes
