Once upon a time, there was a 1980 Suzuki GS 1100. After countless hours of modification work, time, attention, trial, and error, it went on to become the world’s fastest nitrous Pro Street motorcycle drag racing machine. Lovingly and painstakingly put together by Brad Mummert and Mike Schultz, this machine regularly sets quarter-mile times in the six-second range.
In this video, Mummert breaks down some of the differences between the Pro Street GS and his stock 1980 Suzuki GS 1100 restoration project. As you’d probably expect, to describe the drag bike as being heavily modified is a significant understatement. Per series rules, the cradle is the same. The headlight and taillight are also the same. Just about everything else, though, is completely different.
