My new baby!
1 Attachment(s)
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! |

Re: My new baby!
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??
|
Re: My new baby!
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.

Re: My new baby!
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.

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

Re: My new baby!
Another one. Not as nice as the new 1000 but was a super bike in its day.

Re: My new baby!
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.
CRAIG |
Re: My new baby!
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 :)
|
Re: My new baby!
Thats one sweet ass bike. I'm with EclipseTurbo on this one. I want a bike, but the money isnt there. Damn, that bike is nice....!
|
Re: My new baby!
Awesome! As much as I've always wanted a bike to have for a commuter on the nice days and a fun ride any other time I'm simply afraid of getting hurt.
|
Re: My new baby!
Gorgeous Bike!!
|
Re: My new baby!
Awesome purchase, but since I have no fear of speed, I would probably kill myself very quickly on one. Plus the fact that I can't ride.
Looking forward to seeing you out cruisin. |
Re: My new baby!
Thanks guys! I am excited as hell!! It has been a while since I rode very much. This bike dominated the World Superbike race yesterday. There were 2 GSXR's and they do 2 races a weekend. Suzuki got 1 & 2 in the 1st one and 1 & 3 in the 2nd one. Not bad for a redesigned bike in its first race!
|
Re: My new baby!
Nice bike man, very nice. ...Turbo kit?
;) |
Re: My new baby!
No way! They say it already pulls power wheelies (no clutch) in 3rd gear! It already has a HP to weight ratio of 2.1lbs per HP. That will be plenty. If I need more I will put a K&N, exhaust and cams in it.
|
Re: My new baby!
Nice! Very Nice! Congrats to both of you! (I think I just said that to Ricky and Miranda to hahaha) I don't need anything that fancy, I am still waiting for Chris to sell me one of his GPZ750 Turbos. That is still my favorite bike . But I wouldn't turn either of those down!
|
Re: My new baby!
damn dude thats one sweet bike i swear they make their bikes better looking each new model...i love the headlight design.
|
Re: My new baby!
Sweet bikes. Although personally, I'd choice something else over the GSXR series, they are still great bikes.
Sure beats my ninja =\ |
Re: My new baby!
So I take it Jet got his old bike back together finally? I still have the R6 but it's up in South Carolina. Once I get everthing squared away with my car. My next purchase is going to be a 110cc mini crotch rocket. ($625) thinks are just sick. Morosso actually has a Racing Class for them. As well as you can Drag them as long as you have Safety Equipment.

Re: My new baby!
The SRAD isn't together yet, but I have been collecting pieces off Ebay. Craig is buying it as is, and is going to finish it. I gave him a deal on it :D I just don't have the motivation to work on it when I have so many other projects going on.
|
Re: My new baby!
Nice bike JET! Great price for it to.
|
Re: My new baby!
I like it!
|
Re: My new baby!
Chris, you should buy one and sell your turbos ;)
|
Re: My new baby!
One of the turbo's is for sale, Mike!
I just heard that the dealers got their assembly manuals today. The bikes shouldn't be too far behind now!! w00t! |

Am I the ONLY person under the age of 30 that owns a bike, and its NOT a rocket? (model on my bike at the 1st show I took it to, and this is the ONLY bike she wanted to sit on)

Re: My new baby!
I need someone dumb enough to teach me how to ride. lol
|
Re: My new baby!
You pay for the bike and I will teach you. I can even put training wheels on it for ya.
Where is the turbo for sale? Did I miss something damn. |
Re: My new baby!
I am really considering putting my bike on ebay. Unsure if I should or not. Its my first chopper, first road bike, first custom, first show-goer, first trophy winner
|
Re: My new baby!
You will probably regret it if you do. That is a pretty sweet bike.

You are so correct. I went and looked at those as soon as they came out. Man I was drooling. If and when I do get past a starter bike that will be on my list of things to buy. Yamaha--102 cubic-inch (1670cc), pushrod OHV, air-cooled, 48° V-twin http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products...rior_blk_5.jpg http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products...rior_red_6.jpg mmmm delicious. JET- you dont still have that fzr400 by chance? Ive been looking for one of those for a long time. ;) |

Nope, I sold the FZR 400. That thing was kind of fun. You had to wind the snot out of it to get anywhere. It had 50% more power than a stock one too :D

Re: My new baby!
<----jealous!

Re: My new baby!
Here is a dyno chart from a bone stock '05 GSXR 1000. It is VERY impressive! It has VP 110 in it (as do all the bikes they baseline) and hit 165 whp! The '04 R1 was 154 whp, the ZX10 was 156 whp, and the 'busa was 162 whp.

Re: My new baby!
Scary. More power than the BUSA and quit a bit lighter too.
CRAIG |
Re: My new baby!
Yeah, the power curve starts about where Cher's did, but with a 13.5k redline :D
Awesome power from 8k - 12.5k. I can't stand the wait! It should be here this week or next week. |
