My new baby!

**JET** · 02-26-2005

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

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

Some pics!

Sorry 56k'ers!!

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.

TheBlizzard · 02-26-2005

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

TheBlizzard · 02-26-2005

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

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

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....!

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.

SpicyOrange · 02-26-2005

Gorgeous Bike!!

niterydr · 02-27-2005

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.

**JET** · 02-27-2005

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!

**scheides** · 02-27-2005

Nice bike man, very nice. ...Turbo kit?

**JET** · 02-27-2005

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.

Raptor · 02-27-2005

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!

stikx · 02-27-2005

damn dude thats one sweet bike i swear they make their bikes better looking each new model...i love the headlight design.

Kougar · 02-27-2005

Sweet bikes. Although personally, I'd choice something else over the GSXR series, they are still great bikes.

Sure beats my ninja =\
