i just picked up an 05 gsxr1000 im excited this thing will be a beast when im finished with it. gonna stretch it and slam it also maybe throw a nitrous kit on it. it should be a good adition to my 600. i now am rx7 less all i have is my bikes and 4 wheeler. anybody else in the area a biker?

 

It's a beast before you do anything to it

 

There's a guy not far from you trying to get $9500 for his Gixxer... it's already lowered, stretched and modded and has only been done for about a month or two. Too bad you didn't get that one, could have saved you a ton of money

 

nice

oh yeah! well I just bought a corolla SR5 1600!

I win

 

Tell me you got my tags out....

 

I like the twisties to much to ever lower, and stretch my bike, But to each his own

04 Gsxr 750

 

well i have an 01 600 for corner carving. i used to have this one slammed for drag duty but now the 1000 will take that over. and i wouldnt waste 9500 on that bike. i only buy bikes wrecked ill have this one done with all the work im talking about for less than 6000. i wouldnt ever buy brand new. she needs a few things but since i work at a dealer its nothing for me. 500 miles on her. oh and brandin i have your tags but you better come get them cause im moving this weekend.

 

WTF, where are you going? 0_O

 

im moving down to olney. like 10-15 minuets away.

I don't know that I'd consider it a waste, although I wouldn't lower and stretch my own bike. Some of us don't work at dealers and get parts for next to nothing... my R1 certainly wasn't cheap, but it's got a clear title and I bought it new, with no accident history at all. To each his own I guess.

 

fcrx88, two things:

1) Congrats!

2) You get to work on that bike, and I'm gettin to work on my FD. We WILL race soon, and I think it's gonna be VERY interesting to say the least

ya we def need to get that going. you never told me you have a skyline. man i would kill just to race that car on video.

 

The Skyline's not that fast man. It's very lightly modded. Remember they come from the factory making only 280hp, as is regulated by Japan. My FD would take it

 

well thats cool but its just the wow factor of hey i raced a skyline and heres some proof. we can race them all i dont care we can do 600 versus skyline 1000 versus fd

 

Sounds like a plan!

 

mmnnnn

 

bah, get a buell >: D

 

hahahah buell that was funny. my 600 eats buells for breakfast and ***** out harley's hahahah why would anyone buy a buell? there way overpriced for outdated junk. and they dont hold up at all in a crash. you could buy an rc51 for the same price and dust it in every aspect.

 

Congratulations on the bike....

On another note....

I don't want to high jack your thread or rain on your parade but this year I lost two friends in bike accidents and I just want to share this with everyone here.... I hope it will make everyone who reads this think twice before they get on a bike or save someones life.....


The first one was James, he was only 21 years young.... James was a coworker and friend. When he first bought his Honda 900 he would sometimes say.... " Damn, today I drove to 150 mph, wow what a rush". Sometimes he would say " Yo, I raced this porche and smoked him."

One night he was riding with 2 other bikers and took a corner to fast... He hit a lampost... The lampost didn't kill him..... He was thrown from the bike and slid on his stomach head on into the curb, pushing is head into his shoulders and breaking his neck.....

James was full of life he would go to the gym and work out... He was very healthy... He was built like a body builder he was the last person anyone would think would die..... He hated cigarettes and every time he saw me smoking he would allways ask me when I was going to quit.... Guess what? I quit the day he died......

My second friend was 34 years young..... David was a fire fighter (FDNY).... He was an experienced rider.... One morning on the way to work a woman unexpectedly made an illegal U-Turn, smashing into my friend and killing him.... Just like that!

Both died in less than a year apart leaving behind family, friends, children, parents, a wife, and loved ones.....

Please be careful out there riding..... Remember a bike does not have the same protection a car has.....

Remember the bikers infamous saying... " Either you've been down or you'll go down, sooner or later you'll get some road rash."

Peace.

 

ya i know from experience that bikes are dangerous. im here just by the graces of god as i was thrown from my bike and took a streetsign across my chest at 50 mph. did leave a scratch or break a bone. i know the dangers of riding but i love it so much thats its worth it to me.

 

Lost a few of my friends to accidents also. Been riding next to one when he looped it @ 137mph.
Its true if you ride your going to put it down eventually, no matter how good you think you are
Ive been fortunate to limp away with a broken collarbone and road rash on my leg. Came to close to eating it to many times, I save the real speed for vacant roads now. There’s nothing like seeing the speedo pass 170, and knowing it’s just you and whatever you believe in. No radios, No cell phones, No problems, No worries, No cares, No stress… None of the bs that makes the day annoying

 

Like no brakes?

I won't preach, I've seen 170 my share of times on the highway too. But be careful out there... the more of us that **** up and kill ourselves riding recklessly, the more **** we have to hear from people that don't ride.

 

LOL, just sit up and use the airbrakes LOL

Yes being silly is a once a month occasion if best. To bad the guys I ride with think were making a stunt movie all the time.
