When I was in Germany last sunday I couldn't resist the urge see what the GS300 could do.
Well, this is what she could do before I ran out of empty road.

I was bussy looking at the road ahead, cars come up real fast at these speeds.
My co driver snapped the pic, actually a couple but this one came out best.
It was pretty fun, the GS is made to cruise at around 120 mph IMO.

Let's see.....240 divide by 1.6 for here...............that's 150mph
Wow! And how were you able to take a picture with such steady hands while keeping your eyes on the road?????
Must've felt nice to hit that speed and it's somewhat legal in the autobahn, right?
Wait, and your headlight indicator is on so it's getting close to dark also.

If you read the reply above you will read that my co driver was the photgrapher, LOL!!
It did feel nice and pretty comfertable, it was even possible to still have a conversation in the car. But the suspension could do with a bit firming up for next time.
No, it was just after 9 am I think but I allmost always drive with the headlights on.
In the dark, when we came back I don't go any faster then 180/190 km/h.

I am so jealous of you guys being able to go that fast. The fastest I drove my car was 200 kph and that too was for only a couple of mins.
