  We determine the asymptotic behavior of the higher dimensional Reidemeister
torsion for the graph manifolds obtained by exceptional surgeries along twist
knots. We show that all irreducible SL(2;C)-representations of the graph
manifold are induced by irreducible metabelian representations of the twist
knot group. We also give the set of the limits of the leading coefficients in
the higher dimensional Reidemeister torsion explicitly.
