Last time I saw this question asked, someone died after finding out. I doubt your tires on the GS are even rated that fast.

Yeah 130 is plenty fast. And I don't even think the GS tires are H-rated...

i believe the GSX is gear limited to 180 mph but in stock form can only get up to about 160, i personnally have only had mine up to 110. havn't had it on the highway yet.

The gs can hit the 130mph limit, though it isn't recommended. I have w-rated tires (168 mph limit) and my dumbass acheived the speed. Tell ya what, you wanna go faster than 130, then you might as well do write your will out right now or if you feel lucky enough to live, call a mechanic to prepare for your engine, cause pulling that shit will probable call for a rebuild or a replacement.

EDIT: After reading your post above mine, if you really feel that confident, than you might as well have your license cut in half AND hands out ready to cuff as well, cause that's way more than enough for wreckless driving.
