My 01 GSXR 1000

[Aron]

Oh, did I forget to mention that I bought a bike on Monday? It's going to be a fun summer!

Here it is, my 01 Gixxer 1k.
Lowered
Frame, swingarm, wheels, engine covers, pretty much everything polished
Micron high mount slip on (blue/silver can)
Power commander
Yoshimura fuel management
Back seat and cowl cover

Came with matching helmet, jacket and gloves, and a cover
Has minor rash on left side, but it's not bad and will be easy inexpensive fix.

Used my buddy's 12' enclosed trailer to bring it home

Congrats Aron on your new bike. Are you riding tonight???

 

[Aron]

I put one mile on it on Monday, and that was the test ride lol.

It's under a cover at grandma's house until the first day it's 50* out after a rain to wash the salt off the streets

 

[Aron]

Congrats man, be safe!

Thank you sir.

BTW, this was what I went to Iowa for... there was another 02 out there I wanted to buy but the owner was shady.

I got this one in West Chicago.

Ah yes, the grandfather of literbikes. I lusted over that bike until 2004 at which point I bought the '04 Mladdin edition. Put just over 600 miles on it before some gutless motherless punk took it from me one night. I went out and replaced it with an 05 ZX10. Almost a year to the day the suzuki was stolen, so was the ZX10. That was the last bike I owned because we were still at that same apartment. I vowed to get another literbike when we got a house. Its been 5 years since we got the house, and still no bike.

shit.

 

[Aron]

Yeah, I sold my last bike back in 98 shortly after I got the Z. My intention was to buy a new bike the following spring, but the mod bug bit me with the Camaro. Every year since then I told myself this will be the year to finally get another bike, but then every spring the Camaro always needed a transmission, rear end, engine, etc. Well I paid the Blazer off and I'm doing a lot better at budgeting my money now, so I said WTF may as well do it now.

I always wanted a Gixxer too, ever since 86. Now I finally have one. Oh, the car got some love coming too. Fuck this was an expensive week! :clap:

Congrats Aron! That is a sharp looking bike. Makes me miss my 1000RR.

 

[Blood on Blood]

More photos Aron when you get the chance.

 

[Aron]

Thanks Mike. Dave, I will do. I want to make the trek out to Sandwich soon to pull the battery and bring it home to put on the tender.

Brian, now that I am thinking about it, the Gixxer isn't the grandfather of the liter bike, the R1 came first

 

[willsmysticcobra]

Cool bike man. I may pull the trigger on a R1 since I still have all of my blue matching riding gear.

 

[FirstPlaceOils]

Very nice!
FYI the upkeep on all that polished stuff is insane, it does look awesome, but make sure you keep up with it.

Lemmie know if you want some real good oil for it

liter bikes been around longer than the R1
my first street bike was a 1986 Kawasaki ZX10

 

[10thSVT_03]

My first was a 1995 FZR1000

That's true, I didn't think of the dinosaurs back then, I was thinking more along the lines of modern liter bikes lol.

My first was a 1995 FZR1000

My second bike was a 94 FZR600r

[Aron]

Make sure you keep all your stuff SEALED with rejex or poorboys stuff. And mothers billett works great.

 

[Aron]
