pics of my gsxr 1000

[SleeperLS]

I just got this bike in the fall. 06 with 6700 miles. I know the blue stripes were painted on the wheels. Anyone know if the plastics and the top half of the bike are supposed to be the same blue? The top half is a bit darker blue and the white has a blue pearl in it...possibly custom as well. But maybe stock.

Mods are power commander, lowering links, air shifter (one of the pics is of the air psi gauge), yoshimura exhaust. Mods came with the bike. Paid $5,000. Deal right?


Here is the link, enjoy...

Sounds like you got a deal!

How are you liking the air shifter?

 

[SleeperLS]

Haven't used it yet...I have been gettin used to shifting quick normally, so on continuous runs I don't think that the tank is big enough to use it. I hear it is nasty though at the track. I need to get used to riding it more before I go there though.

 

[Riski]

I think I am gonna get one

My buddy that owned it before me said it is his favorite mod

Very nice!

My girlfriend wants one of those. She keeps wanting me to co-sign on one for her because she can't get financing. I won't do it, too much of a risk for me.

We have a lot of bike riders here in Oklahoma. I think guys are riding 9-10 months out of the year down here.

Is getting a decent one for $4000-4500 possible?

very doable to get a bike for that kind of money......but a 1k for a noob......very RISKI

Now you got me started!

I don't know shit about bikes but I know that a 1K is damn fast so I asked her why not a 650 or something like that. The bike is cheaper and insurance would probably cost less as well. She didn't like that idea. She said that those are bikes "for beginners."

She says she has a motorcycle license, I don't know, never seen it, never asked. But I know she's not a very co-ordinated person. I don't know how to ride, I'm not into bikes myself, but it seems more difficult than driving a car.

I keep hearing the shit about "all my friends have bikes and I want to go riding with them" and I really don't care to hear about it.

Just wonder if I could spend less than $4500 to shut her the hell up about a damn motorcycle.

 

[Riski]

if you get her the 1k get a big dollar life insurance policy to go along with it.....

That's what really confuses me. You are an experienced rider, you have had 2 bikes and my GF wants a 1K to start out.

Shit, I didn't learn how to drive on a Z06.

 

[Riski]

It is your woman, slip a ring on her finger and get paid when the insurance check comes......




seriously if you get her a 1k for the first bike I ummmm......

What riski said X2, i've been riding around on a 08 gsxr 600 thats my buddies for a long time, and we just had a friend bring over a busa to keep at our house and lets me ride it. I was on the 600 for over 2 years and let me tell you I thought I was ready for the busa but after riding it about 10 times. I'm still gonna end up buying something a 1k or smaller.
As he stated, self control is huge and its hard to have sometimes.

Nice!! well it takes a real man to ride a GIXXER 1000, Cool man let it all hang out....Ride it out!

 

[SleeperLS]

I would have prefered a 750, but I just couldn't pass the deal up. There is way more power with the 1000 than I need. Yesterday was the first time I really tried to get on it....I think my nuts are still in my chest. Tunnel vision and 150 is all I remember and it felt like a blink of an eye. I am still in love with the 1000 though.

....but a 1k for a noob......very RISKI

how about a 1200??

But yes it is a very big self control ordeal. Took me quite a few months to where I'm finally at with being comfortable to open the bike up in first gear. The main reason why I don't have a reagular crotch rocket as I'd be trying to do wheelies so I made sure I either got a stretched bike or a cruiser. I also have quite a few friends glad I have a stretched bike, so bottom line know your self control limit.
