The end of an era!

[KrazyGixxerBoy]

So today I waved farewell to my trusty old Gixxer 1100.:crybaby:
We've seen some great roads, met some great people but it was time to mover her on to make way for my new baby!

Biktranz will hopefully have her to me by the end of next week so will need a baptising ride over the tukas.

[Rych]

mmmm nice fireblade there, will be fun times!

[hayd3n]

mmmm another honda rider
(you know what they say about honda riders)

[gale_wolf]

I see you had a '90 model 11, I had the '89. It also felt like the end of an era to me when I sold my reliable bullet proof 1100K. Loving my Gixxer Thou now but I do miss the old 11. :bye:
Good times ahead with the new ride, enjoy.

Why you sell the lovely gixxer. she was a damm fine machine. Ah well - look forward to meeting the new toy but dont know about riding with a gay honda tho:sick:

[SMOKEU]

I'm looking at buying a GSXR1100 for my next bike. Are they nice to ride in the twisties or are they really heavy?

[shafty]

Commiserations and Congratulations.

Post up again on this thread when you realise:

"Shit I should have kept it as well as getting the Repsol"

[Hawkeye]

Nice set of wheels there mate. Give me a shout when your going to christen her on the Takas:yes:

[Muppet]

Jesus talk about night and day! Going from a GSXR1100 to a Fireblade? You won't regret it.

Shame to see the old bike go (and go it could IIRC) but that looks like an excellent replacement, congrats.

I always enjoyed it on the twisties (except for one altercation with an armco barrier!)...They're definately heavy but I was used to it and a few people will attest that I kept up alright.

Haha, not you as well! :gob: Bryce giving me a hard time too....still, I've got broad shoulders and can take all of your criticisms knowing that your knees are trembling in intimidation of the big orange beast!

Honestly though, long overdue for a cruise! gotta catch up soon. :yes:

Cheers Milts...she certainly could go!....only thing holding her back was the skill level of the rider! lol.

they will be real busy this time of year, maybe we should take the ute for a run, where is it ?

Yep, I sold mine at 155,000km's and it too was still going strong. Helluva bike the GSXR-1100!

It's up in Takapuna. Only problem is I'm really busy at the mo and can't really spare the time. I was going to fly up and ride it back but it still stuffs a day for me...

I'll probably either get one of them or an FZR1000 EXUP for my next bike.

Go the CBR mate...I had an FZR1000 (although it was the year before the EXIP came out) and it was ok but the CBR is something else!

The early 90s CBR1000 is more of a touring bike than a proper sports bike. They weigh a lot more than the FZR1000 as well.

I'll probably either get one of them or an FZR1000 EXUP for my next bike.Any of the CBR900s, much lighter.

[SMOKEU]

I just watched some CBR900RR videos on Youtube with cameras filming the speedo, they look like they accelerate reasonably well.

First of the hyperbikes, can't go far wrong.
