WOOT!!! Just bought my first big bike

**Boob Johnson** · 11th June 2007, 23:40

Yeeeee haaaaaa

Just took the death defying leap into a big bike

From an SR250 to a GSX750F

Decided to stick with a sports/tourer as I commute everyday & go for long rides on the weekends but I dont really need all that extra HP of the full balls out sports models.

Its a shade under 100BHP so thats more than enough for me at present

The guy I got it from had a mate of his "pump" the auction (I havent told him I know) but the price is still reasonable and less than what I set out to spend in the first place, so im not too fussed

And before some of you say "becareful"

(thanks for your caring and concern in advance)

but I REALLY dont like pain so im gunna be a nana for sometime until im comfortable on it

Honest

WOOT for big bikes

New bike! W00t! Have fun and look after yourself and the ride as well!

So what bling bits you thinking of getting for it?

**Disco Dan** · 12th June 2007, 00:17

ahhh nice

What year is it?

Be careful... the brakes on those things are not the best considering the speeds it will reach.... even with new fork oil, new pads and braided lines... my 600 has an uncanny ability to "keep going". If it is pre '90 you will want to watch the rear brake... it will lock the rear unless it's warmed up a bit...

They are nice bikes!

um ya need to copy the last url on image shack

W00T? Woot?

When you're my age it takes 1200cc+ of Jap multi before my pulse gets raised.

Otherwise a noisy GN125 does it for me.....

Was thinkin about a new paint job. Its a late 92 with 56,000 on the clock (one owner) and has the usual wear n tear u would imagine for a bike of 15 years with moderate milage. In no hurry at this stage but.

Looking forward to the step up to an even bigger bike. Never ridden a Harley but would love to try sometime

Awesome mate! I can only dream of updating my bike at the moment, money's a bit scarce

Next time you're up this way let me know and we'll go for a ride somewhere!

**90s** · 12th June 2007, 11:35

GSXs in general are great practical bikes that are suprisingly quick!

Woot indeed.

**u4ea** · 12th June 2007, 11:38

WOOT enjoy and play safe!!!!!!!

BD, that was gay.

I know someone with one of those. It has a loudish pipe on it, and it sounds really really good.

Go on... GO ON...

**kiwifruit** · 12th June 2007, 18:31

Congratulations

Enjoy your new found power

Send me a PM if your thinking about painting it. My bike got a full respray last year and I know an outfit locally who gave me a bloody good deal. Though I did all the prep work myself which saved quite a lot of money.
