High Speed Motorcycle Run (Suzuki GS500F)

[ylism]

The bikes not be the fastest 500cc out, Take the Ninja500r for instance, It's a good bit faster, But it does not look as good, and I like both bikes. I have a 04 Kawasaki EN500ltd a cruiser bike, It's slower then the Ninja500r with the same basic motor, It's just de tuned for more mid range power, Still a quick bike for a 500cc, It has around 50HP & the Ninja500r 59.6HP & is lighter to. But each has it's place, Right now I am looking for another place, AKA bike, A bigger one. Ride safe, yl

[your5starvids]

Music starts = mute audio

[kd4ysi]

bro thats the same music thats on some of ghost riders channel but great vid as well

[rosswog002]

I have a 2k9 gs500f....should easily break 100 going uphill (and I'm talking steep)...I do it constantly, just drop a gear and watch your redline.

[Motoriceburner]

Greatest song in the world man! 

[Mario95BG]

@micahface20 That was too kind from your side

[itsbeiko]

yo this song is so fucking annoying i hear it everywhere damit stop playing this shit!

[scottxwalker]

Very nice. I love my GS500F. I am going out to ride now that I saw your video.

[drozdziu298]

WHY AGAIN THIS FUCKING GAY MUSIC!??

[Johnnybomb1]

@drozdziu298 Because Youtube partners make money off of it.

[bodybuildingmaddness]

Thumbs up if you muted!

[anddudewaslike]

@bodybuildingmaddness

i actually liked the music...

[alphaman1101]

by the way if that one is like mine, the spedomiter is off ten percent.. your only going 80... i got mine to 110 and my friend said it was only 95...

[alphaman1101]

Dude, drop it to fourth and get up and go!!!

[robbversion1]

omg please not this song! its everywhere!

[Mario95BG]

I WANNA HEAR THE BIKE NOT THIS STUPED SONG...

[Dayao12]

SWEETT !! I'm totally getting the windscreen! Soohh much better extended that way.

[lukemich12]

if i hear this song one more time i will jump in a fire.

[death484698]

fuck offffffffffffffffffff music

[R0CKS0X]

high speed and gs500f don't belong in the same sentence.

[tucsondog]

I hate this song... but oddly enough, it actually fits for this video. Awesome bike. Cheers! :)

[VDoma1]

what is the name of this song?

[thanksyounow]

If it's all the same to you I'll obey the speed limits. Don't want my guts splattered all along the highway thank you.

[o2e2o2]

I like the music. BTW what windscreen do you have on u'r bike ?!

[Iroquois14]

@o2e2o2 Zero Gravity

[o2e2o2]

@Iroquois14 would you please give me the model number, coz i could not find it on their website. I need something to block the wind on highways.

[Iroquois14]

@o2e2o2 Google search GS500 Zero gravity. Should be the first link.

It's the sport touring one.

[L4Maulers]

Getting a permit in a couple of weeks, then license, then the GS500F! Gonna turn 16 right when I get the bike, so it's mostly gonna be riding to school, pleasure cruises, etc. Any tips or recommendations for me? Parts that need to be changed to make the bike smoother?

[Iroquois14]

@L4Maulers Only things I can think of are upgrading the handlebars to get more of your weight over the front wheel. It's not necessary, but I did it and I like it much better. Also, what kind of tires will it have?

[NathanH1313]

@Iroquois14 what bars did you use to get yourself more forward? im looking at buying one but it looks kinda like riding a penny farthing unless i can get lower over the tank. are you having any issues with turn radius? Thanks a lot, bike looks sweet btw

[Iroquois14]

@NathanH1313 I just got some universal drag bars, 7/8th inch. They lower me over the tank a bit more, I am happy with them for $20. Turn radius is fine, however at full turn they do hit the tank. It's rare that I need them at full turn anyway, so it's no problem for me.

[Marksman2oo7]

@L4Maulers I'm in your situation right now and hope to get one this christmas

[tucsondog]

You know, as common as this music is, i actually thought it suited this video well. Nice bike!

[CyberDeath118]

I own a GS500, its my first bike, its turned well, utterly gutless, I get piston bounce at 160kmph, 160 is not scary, its not hang on for dear life, its GIVE ME MORE POWER DAMN YOU, max speed is supposed to be 175kph, maybe when its new.

I'm getting a much bigger bike if I live to get one.

[godrilla]

Do they have frame sliders or w/e it's called for this motorcycle?

[Iroquois14]

@godrilla I have never heard of any, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

[godrilla]

I"m thinking about buy a 2006 suzuki gs 500f for about $2400. Only has 4350 miles on it, i'm a new rider. Is this a good deal or not, i'm to use this as my transportation to school, unless it rains.. I'm from florida, so they don't requiere motorcycle insurance, and i don't plan on getting it. Any tips?

[Iroquois14]

@godrilla Yes, that's a good deal. Although I would STRONGLY recommend getting the insurance. It's only like $300 or so a year depending on your record.

[godrilla]

@Iroquois14 Thanks man, if i have enough money, for everything, i'll get insurance, lol. I have yet to take the class/test for the permit.

[NSHouston19]

I went 110 on mine

[jaydawg888]

this music is awful

[motorgeeek]

Nice bike man :)

[8188manda]

k well i am a 22/f and i just got a suzuki gs 500f i dont think i needed anything bigger

[BLAZEX09]

Nice Video!! If you make more maybe switch the music, this song is overused.

I just bought a 2009 GS500F, not the fastest bike but I love it, it has all the power I will ever "need" It is a really fun bike to ride and it looks great to!!

[DeadbyY3ti]

i love my gs500, dont have a camera so i cant get any videos but i love it and it'll easily hit 110 on the highway. not the fastest but still fun as ever

[Shags14]

Dont go gs500F, unless you plan on jetting the carbs, and bore the motor over 30, with over sized cams, and pistons. Theyre too damn slow otherwise.

[Iroquois14]

@Shags14 For an experienced rider, I agree. But for a new rider, the GS is the perfect balance between power and handling.

[Shags14]

@Iroquois14 True

[XxUnknownxX8]

@Shags14 how much would all that cost?

[Iroquois14]

@XxUnknownxX8 Over boreing the engine is completely NOT worth it. To get the most out of a GS500, you need to change the stock sprockets out to smaller ones, get an aftermarket pipe, rejet the carbs, and get a K&N lunchbox. Probably run you around $400-600 to have a shop do it.

[wsgchopper]

wtf is with u people and this gay song...

[nathanhimself99]

dude ive got those same gloves! joe rocket highsides haha

[imandytran]

I just got a Zero Gravity Double Bubble for my GS500F. First test run is tomorrow!

[imandytran]

Nice video! I bought the same motorcycle. I LOVE IT! I was wondering what you thought about that Zero Gravity windshield--how different is it from the stock?

[Iroquois14]

@imandytran Honestly, I put the stock one on there one day just to see how it looked and I hated it. So I've never ridden with the stock one. But the Zero Gravity gets the air up over your chest and blows it into your face, which is good and bad.

[Junejemel]

@Iroquois14 can you put any kind of gixxer shells on this gs 500f...(farings)

[MIT2004]

kawasaki ninja 500r vs suzuki gs500f

[ben14kansas]

wow, i thought that these were actually kinda fast... i have gone faster in my Jeep then what you went in this video. my guages top out at 100 but i have gone a full 1k rpm past when it maxes, and my red line in only 5k

[Dp908]

I haven't gotten down to the shop to sit on one of these yet. Is riding on one of these like sitting on top a crotch rocket where you're leaned over or are you sitting straight up similar to being on a cruiser?

[Iroquois14]

@Dp908 It's a bit of a mixture of both actually. Very standard feel

[MIT2004]

Allright im getting this bike on August too bad it doesnt compare to my friends ducati :( Thats why i wont be riding along side with him hehe

[ump45acp]

@MIT2004 it dont matter what you ride ,i have a gs500f & 07 cbr600rr,ill ride with anything as long as your good people,thats all that matters my brother!

[MIT2004]

@ump45acp i dont remember why i put this. i think those where my two options of bikes

[MIT2004]

Do you think the gs500f is a good motorcylce for someone who travels 20miles a day? Since im buying my bike cash i want to get this one, i dont want to buy a good used bike bc i dont know how the owner took care of it .

[Iroquois14]

@MIT2004 Yes. It's an excellent bike for the price. I think they came down $1000 recently on it too. Anyway, I used to have a 20 mile commute to and from school, and it is the perfect bike to commute on. Comfort, good gas mileage, reliable engine, good looks... etc.etc.

[Ethan1993m]

@Iroquois14 Would you recommend this over the ninja 250? im going to be using it to back and forth to school and work prolly upwards of maybe 40 a day? maybe more

[Iroquois14]

@Ethan1993m Depends. Are you short and skinny? Than go Ninja 250. Are you bigger and feel like you can handle a bit more? Go GS500F

[Ethan1993m]

@Iroquois14 Im about 5'10" 150lbs im not that skinny though, not saying im huge but i lift every day so i think i could handle a bigger one but im not sure. btw thanks for answering my other questions haha

[gatykeAD]

yeah i have a friend that has a gs500 nice bike n all but just cant compete with other bikes of its class even alot of 250s can beat them but ther not built for speed i spose

[Iroquois14]

@gatykeAD I will agree with you on them not being built for speed. The Ninja 500 has 10 more horsepower. Although some of it depends on who is riding the bike

[gatykeAD]

@Iroquois14 its not only the power difrence if there not geared to do high speeds they wont my 250s top speed was like 140 when i had to replace transmition i got it with dif gear ratios and for ages i couldnt work out y my bike acerlerated faster but lagged out in 3rd n 4th but was doing a good 170 180 in the end a friend pointed out the difrent transmition and my 250 is pretty gutless it just crawls up to high speeds its only about 15 stock and would be around 25 28 hp now

[MIT2004]

@gatykeAD 250's? are u reffering to it by model or a 250 cc?

[gatykeAD]

@MIT2004 engine capacity it is a modified zongshen zs250gs stormcrow

[roCsnipe]

i bought my 2006 gs500F for 2650 and it only had 1800 miles on it

[dylang606]

how much would a used 07 or 08 cost?

[Iroquois14]

@dylang606 Anywhere from $2500-$4500 depending on the condition/mileage

[dylang606]

@Iroquois14 thanks

[Ashlynnd89]

I bought my suzuki gs 500f two months ago with only 3324 miles on it never been dropped in mint condition for only $3,300

[MIT2004]

@dylang606 you can get a brand spanking new one for 4300 2010 model

[slimers13]

did you forgot the 6th gear???

[Iroquois14]

@slimers13 No. The GS just doesn't have much topspeed.

[xolahx]

Nice video bro, hey what's the song playing? I've heard it in other videos?

[xolahx]

@xolahx Never mind, figured it out

009 Sound System - Dreamscape

[Nikeflyr88]

where is this vid taken? area looks nice, with no cars =D

[Iroquois14]

This is just North of Lawrence, KS on some back country highways. You live around here?

[TOMPDUDE]

i am so sick of this damn song. 1 star.

[Iroquois14]

Angry much?

[TOMPDUDE]

Not angry really. i just dont understand why that song is used so frequently. I watch lotsof motorcycle and car videos on YouTube and this seems to be the most over used song in this category..

[yalexfumi46]

i like better the gs than the r6 or cbr cause its more practical: cheaper , confortable, lower insurance, better aerodinamics, less consumption etc.. but only if its your first bike ...

[Iroquois14]

Yep. All those things make it the perfect starter bike. Although if you have ridden it for over a year, you start getting really power hungry. I feel like I am ready to step up to a 750

[yalexfumi46]

i bet u wanna buy the gsxr 750 .

[davidbcn822]

what type of cam did you use to record? thanks.

[Iroquois14]

It's just a Fuji Finepix Z20FD point and shoot that has a video option.

[connexwolf]

i just got one.. but dont no y it wont start.. it started once now i cant get it to start again .sinc i brought it home.. ???? help

[Iroquois14]

First things first, is the battery dead? Next up, are the spark plugs worn out?

[connexwolf]

the battery is fine..lights work an everything.. where are the spark plugs located on the bike.. sorry this my first bike. dont no much bout it as of yet ?

[Iroquois14]

Take the fairings off and you should be able to see them pretty clearly. There is 1 plug per side. Also, your starter might have kicked the dust. Those things cost around $200.

I would take it to a mechanic to have them try to evaluate it.

Good luck dude.

[connexwolf]

ahh bro i found the problem .. hahah the wire connecting to the clutch was half way out.. must of moved during transportation ... it starts BEAUTIFULLY now .. !! ohh by the way wat u think of the bike itself ??? to mee it seems awesome havnt been able to get of it all day :)

[Iroquois14]

The bike is awesome on maintenance and reliability but it definitely isn't the quickest bike on the market. It has trouble passing cars at 80.

[connexwolf]

for me its great soo far. im a learner an this bikes seems soo easy to ride.. anyways thnx for ur help :)

cheers

[W1LDWESLEY]

i may have said this before but my gs500f sais: oh yes i can oh, yes i can.

I can easly make it go to 100mph.

[RapscallionStallion]

I can't wait to go out riding again! I too have a gs500f. Logged about 3k miles on my bike in the latter half of last summer. Planning on putting 5+ on it this summer. Riding time's almost here!

[Studflucker]

Looks like some serious fun.

How often do you guys go riding? i'm always lookin for people to ride with and I'm in kansas... plus spring is a'comin!

[Iroquois14]

We go riding a ton. Some of us are even still riding now. Crazy haha. We would love to ride with you man, just let me know! Where do you live in Kansas?

[Studflucker]

I live in lyons, but plan to move to either salina or manhattan this summer... maybe sooner depending on work.

anyhoo, I'd def. like to ride with you guys once it warms up a little bit. I'm sure it'll be good to go within a few weeks.

[Studflucker]

I added a short vid to my profile so the world can see my baby.

[Peterr86]

I like it

5*

[W1LDWESLEY]

where and when was this. its pretty there.

[Iroquois14]

This was summer 2009 north of Lawrence, KS.

[Razzzordback]

I love this bike:)

[spaghettikid1]

whats with the sunglassees?

[Iroquois14]

I had em for earlier in the day and took em off.. this was back when I still only had a clear visor.

[alwaysasleep]

Love the video. Love the GS.

[Gtbomb]

name of song please

[Iroquois14]

Dreamscape.

[DanielJuno]

great video!

[Iroquois14]

Thanks!!!

[hagalazronin]

why is there a bycycle bell???? xD

i mean... wtf???

but funny^^

[W1LDWESLEY]

my dad is a big guy. he took my 07 gs500f

and draged race it. he said it got to 100 mph pretty damm quick. you can have a look at it on my profile.

[kuosion]

The truth is I didn't even know we were going that fast. When i was in lead, I just went at a pace that felt fun and comfortable. I'm glad the ride is fun, I'll try to find more roads in Lawrence like that. I doubt it, I remember there was a lot more like this in the middle of Missouri when I went camping/fishing at the lake of Ozarks. Maybe we can take a 1 day trip through Missouri some time.

[Iroquois14]

Yea the roads by the lake of the Ozarks are pretty damn legendary. I went down there around a month ago for just a day, and it was awesome. We definitely need to go do that.

[trevorfroese]

Nice bike! Bad song...

[Iroquois14]

Agreed. I couldnt find anything better and I didn't want to convert the video jut to add a song, it destroys the video quality.

[jayjay4999]

WHY is this song every where WTF

[whiteboykp1]

i have the same bike i dont have a video of the speed yet but i have hit 130 on the bike it takes a min to get up to the speed but itll do it got some good videos of the twisties though

[xxswtkhmerboyxx]

been looking for a bigger windscreen, where did you get yours from?

[Iroquois14]

I got the windscreen with the bike when I bought it used.... you can find them just about anywhere, just search Zero Gravity GS500 windscreen on google.

[jcotteri]

if your having trouble finding music to go with your video.. try:

Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds

Telefon Tel Aviv - I made a Tree on the Wold

Telefon Tel Aviv - You are the Worst Thing in the World

Telefon Tel Aviv - Immolate Yourself

Rone - Belleville

M83 - We Own the Sky (basically the whole Saturdays = Youth Album)

M83 - Run Into Flowers

M83 - The Highest Journey

I could keep going and going and going.. So much Boards Of Canada would be perfect..

[Iroquois14]

Thanks for the help!

[jcotteri]

nice video :) I like the music surprisingly..

so that's mph i gather by the comments... looks like fun :P

[SimmanGodz]

Do we have roads like this with no limit? Or was this a video of a country road with no one looking?

I'd love to find some roads like that... :)

[Iroquois14]

It was a 40 mph limit country road. I figured that seeing the county sheriff is a long shot, so we went for it.

Just get out of the city, there are plenty of empty country roads.

[SimmanGodz]

When I actually get my bike (Still only 16...but I am getting both car and bike permits with a MSF at 17), you can be sure of it :)

Doubt I'll do your speeds though...I drove a car once going 30 and I thought that was exciting...seemed fast at the time ...All I rode beforehand were bicycles :P

[bigbilly29]

I'm 15 1/2 with my license.

And hit 100 on this same bike

;D

[SimmanGodz]

o.o

I envy you...I'm 16 without a license >:(

Your awesome...

[bigbilly29]

I'm sure i could push the bike to ~120.

But ill save that for when i have full safety gear.

This is an EXCELLENT starter bike.

If you have no previous experience on a motorcycle then i recommend this. It has a lot of parts too so if you need a spare. I bought mine for about 2,400 used

[SimmanGodz]

Seriously?...I think I might get that instead...I dont want to upgrade from the Ninja 250 when I get it :(...

Even if I managed to get the gs500 for 3k..That'd still leave me some money for some modding :D

[bigbilly29]

Yeah, i love mine.

But are you saying that you were going to get a ninja 250r or you already have one?

[SimmanGodz]

No...I'm bikeless T.T

Was going to get to 250r...but now I'm looking at some 500s...dont really want to go over :( I know myself too well....

By the way Iroquois...sorry we're chatting on your vid....hope your not getting annoyed :P

[Iroquois14]

no worries dude, it doesnt notify me when there are comments directed at other people.

[lauriejennifer]

Awesome! I wish I had still been there to go with you guys! (Not that either I or my bike would be up to actually keeping up with you guys... LOL)

Great ride!

[fliingskwrl]

wow, crazy, I wish my bike could hit the 100's

[LoneWolfRsiX08]

I like how you guys gave each other plenty of room especially in the curves thats good riding man ....... Some guys I've ridin with in the past think they are on the damn track and they ride all up on your ass in the turns, I hate that, especially when I dont know them very well or their skill level . .

[spunkyfl]

man I wish my bike would go that fast :'(

Good vid man, be safe! Sorry I couldn't make it out that day. Hopefully soon!

[Iroquois14]

dont make fun of the little guy!

[spunkyfl]

No worries man! You should of seen me when I had my neenja 2-fitty! I was pure awesome!

[8cuttlefish8]

Love that song, and i rly enjoyed this vid man.

[Itsreload]

Nice empty road to let Mr Hyde out.

[PaulRancourt18]

seems like he was going 100mph wich is roughly 160km/h for us...

[robinphillips]

Thats fast for me, my bike only can goto 140-150km/h if im going downhill !!

[PaulRancourt18]

On flat road no wind my Ninja 250R can hit 160, I've hit 165km/h on a slight downhill grade too...

[lorddragoono]

faast but not fast enough for me i like 150 its comfortable exept your cant breath as well and a bug feels like a bullet

[Iroquois14]

lol speed demon!

[lorddragoono]

you have no idea

[billmaa]

Love the music dude..great vid..where did you shoot this?

[Iroquois14]

North of Lawrence, Kansas

[danmoto73]

nice run :) love this tune too :D

[Iroquois14]

Yea it's a great tune. It's in a lot of other vids, but I couldnt find anything better.

[KorNBikeR78]

Nice ride dude!!!

[sunnyjason]

haha, nice.

[HAIONSTRESS]

you've got it pinned there for a second! how fast did it end up going i cant read it well?

great vid, cool to see sunnyJ getting in on it too.

[Iroquois14]

roughly 100... I know the little GS tops out at 110 or so, but SunnyJason was slowing down...

[ToastToGo]

Although I strongly discourage speeding, I did a mini highspeed run myself the other day. Fun to get it out of y our system every once in a while.

[robinphillips]

I really discourage road speeding, keep it on the track! But saying that............even i have to have a quick speed run every once in a while, im such a hippocrite !! Loved the vid ;-)

[Iroquois14]

I absolutely agree.... but from time to time, you need to just get the speed demon out of you. Especially on a back country road with no traffic.

[robinphillips]

Yeh your quite lucky in the US, where i live there is no such thing as a "quiet back road" not in HK dude.......lol.......all busy roads here :-(

[dimebag579]

exelent ride bro, makes me wanna take to the road which i think i am going to do :)

[robinphillips]

Ride safe bro ;-)
