My new baby!

[JET]

Well, the talon is going to have competition for driving time this summer. I bit the bullet and got a new toy! I just bought a 2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000. It is a new design for this year and should be looking at ~160 whp and 80 ft/lbs of torque and it weighs 370 lbs dry. So, if anyone wants to race a bike, let me know :D

No this isn't going to turn into a car vs. bike thread!

Some pics!

OH MAMA!!! That bike is wicked, I think I'd kill myself on one of those. Definetly a good purchase, whats sticker price on this bike??

Awesome! A good friend of mine is selling his '99 GSX-R 750 w/nitrous and picking up an '05 Aprilla (sp?) 1000. I like how your new bike is one of the few new ones that doesn't have the "ass" exhaust but stuck with the side exiting. I personally think the side exiting looks much better plus pipes are a hella lot cheaper (at least for the '05 636 another friend just bought).

Toight.

List is $10,900, I got it for $9,800. I get the first black/silver one that Larson's gets. I keep bikes for a long time when I get them, so buying a new one makes sense. I will probably keep it for 6 years at least.

Dammit JET. Now that he bought a new baby I had to buy his old one.

Another one. Not as nice as the new 1000 but was a super bike in its day.

I used to have a 99 GSXR 750 and loved it, but never got much time to ride it. Now my job schedule will permit me to ride a lot more so it was an easy choice.

That is an awesome looking bike. It will be a couple years before I get a bike, the want is there but the money isn't there at the moment :)
