Man-o-man is this thing a beast. You better make sure your pointed where you want to go when you pull the trigger on this thing...













FAST does not even begin to tell the story!

 

Sick

 

I dig that exhaust.

 

I don't know the subtlties of GSX-R's is this a 1000(I assume it is from what your saying about speed) or a 750?

 

Yeah, it's a 1000 . I had a 2001 Yamaha R1 (also a 1000) and this is much faster. With Ram air, it has about 184 horsepower at the crank; figure 160 to the rear wheel.

 

How much $?

 

God that makes me horny just looking at that! Damn thats hot!


I miss my 01 gixxer 1k so damn bad!

 

 

$10,679.85 on the road! Bag lunch for me for a while.

 

nice man

750 or 1000 will be my next bike

 

I've been on a 1000 for four years, if you don't have lots of experience on a fast bike, I would recommend a 750. Plus, the insurance on a 1000 is outrageous.

Don

 

she's a beaut. nice pick up

just be careful!!

 

I have a ZZR1200....not as wild as the gixxer, but plenty fast, about 140 hp at the tire from what I hear...insurance is only $50.00 a month....can't beat the rush!!

 

cool, I picked up sv650s over a month ago, love this bike so far. Atleast in a year or maybe more, i'll go for 750.

 

Nice bike, I want one so bad.

 

Wow...your motorcyle has more horsepower than my car and it probably weighs less than half of what mine weighs

 

Wow, just got back from a little nighttime ride. I'm still shaking, that thing is just awesome! The brakes could be a little sharper, a pad change should fix that.

I can see the TL will get some light use the rest of this summer.

Cheers,

Don

 

nice, thats one of my favorite sport bikes.

Pipe is fugly on the new GSX1000 though. Time for aftermarket pipe and a re-map.

 

Awesome!

 

awesome bike, all you need is a pc3r and an akrapovic exhaust

I miss my 1k, 175wheelHP and 350lbs

 

I tend to spend my mod money on suspension and brakes. It already has more motor than anybody needs. I'll get the forks redone by Lindeman Engineering, a Penske shock, steel brake lines and some aggressive pads and just ride the poo out of it.

Cheers!

Don

 

Congrats Don... be careful and I am sure you are.. nice ride.... I could never get on one of those.. I would never be able to get off of it..

 

Nice bike, but a ball buster... I laid a Ninja down 75 feet on the salty Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach almost 20 years ago.

I now prefer the fat ass Harleys to lay back on and rumble with a fay chick on back to bar to bar at 45 mph!

 

let me know when you get that penske rear...sell me your shock.

 

i would kill myself

 

Congratulations.

And I agree with the above poster about killing myself.

 

Any of the new 1000cc bikes are not for beginners. The nice thing is the throttle response if very precise and the powerband does not have any steps that would compromise control.

Running it in a little this weekend I saw 169 MPH on my secret strech of deserted road. I'm getting comfortable on the bike quickly and more miles of enjoyment are in order.

I just wish I didn't have to wake up at 6AM on Sundays to get in my fast running before everyone goes to church/breakfast.

Cheers!

Don

 

Don, i used Circuit1 for my suspension work, they said the stock shock, at least in my 02 was a good shock, they just revalved and resprung it for me...maybe you can save some money on the penske...

 

that's what i may do for my rear shock. the SV suspension, put frankly, sucks ass. instead of going for a new penske or ohlins, i may go with a revalved and resprung GSXR shock tailored to my ride weight/bike weight, and riding habits.

for the front, just a simple fork spring change to .85kg/mm, and 20wt fork oil. for my needs, i won't have much need for a GSXR front end swap, or even emulators.

 

nice nice... very nice.

makes me wanna get a bike again!

 

That's a pretty fast ride... I raced one a month ago. The chick was no beginner on her bike... She never lost me but I never got in front either (would have not expected it either)...


Very nice ride

 

I don't mind spending a little coin on a nice fork revalve and a great shock. Plus, if I ever sell the bike, I can put the old shock back on and sell the Penske. I'll wait for winter to upgrade the suspension.

Cheers,

Don
