My old GSXR is dead
at about 90,000 kms the engine blew up, pissing oil over the rear tire, and causing it to fall over.
I am proud to report it was ridden properly.

It seems a bit unusual though, for it to implode like that!

RIP my old K1

I don't reckon they would be all that easy to blow up, if they are regularly maintained.
You've done well!

wow, that all?maybe since the last inspection, knowing the last owner....

If it was in its 60's then that is even more interesting.

I did give it a bit of a thrashing, but nothing too savage.

I wonder what will go first on my DR?
Gearbox I think!
