2014 gsx-r600

[haydes55]

Anyone else considering buying a brand new GSXR600. Suzuki have been advertising the new bikes for $12,995. That's a sportsbike for a commuter bike price tag! I saw the 750 was about $15,000 as well.....

The R6 and CBR600 are around the $17-18,000 mark.

I'd presume they are much of a muchness. But that's a massive saving for a new bike!

[BuzzardNZ]

Are you sure it's the 2014 model?

I seem to recall hearing it was a whole lot of leftover ( new ) 2011 models.

Love to be proven wrong as I'd consider getting a 2014 gixxer 600 at an almost giveaway price!

[haydes55]

The one I was was listed as an L1, someone will be able to know if that's old stock or not. Even if it is old stock, still not a bad price. Wouldn't imagine it would depreciate as fast as any other new bike.

[sil3nt]

They are 2011 models. The only difference between 2011 and 2014 are the colours.

I'm going in to Boyds this arvo :facepalm:

Trade my bike in as the deposit and finance the rest.... The thou isn't badly priced either.... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-711822976.htm

Wow.

Suzuki have had the thou on sale for a while now, as it was "old" 2013 stock. http://www.suzuki.co.nz/Motorcycle/Sport/


Grab yourself a slice of unmatched racing heritage - and save $3,000 in the process. We’ve got the last of the 2013 model GSX-R1000s - in Blue/white only - for just $18,990 plus on road costs. So for a limited time, everyone wins!

Makes an interesting spread of prices:

600 : $18,990 + ORC
760 : $18,995 + ORC
1000 : $18,495 + ORC

... but that TradeMe price is wild ($16,995). Part of my brain says "your current bike would cover the deposit" ... then I tell it to get back to dreaming.

Wellington Motorcycles have been advertising those L1 600's in the DomPost for a month or two now ($12,995).

Yep. Got one left. Blue/white.

Getting anymore in?

Not sure if we can mate. Would like to.

Talked with Mr. Suzuki today..... The 750 looks good for $15,000.... And that's the 2013 model.

Didn't realise the hayabusa is on sale as well for $17,995.

I've only ever heard good things about the 750, it's cheaper and will do exceptionally well at anything I will use it for.

The 750 Never seems to get bad reviews, seems to be the bike that everyone says does everything well, the only bikes that compete with it are italian and for a much higher price.

If they are going to give you a good trade on the z1000 I would say go for it.

Ive been looking at this for ages. If I could get a good trade on my Hornet I would go a 750. Ive not read a bad thing about them and seem to be good everyday bikes as well as good track day bikes.

I want one badly. Am currently looking at a 04 CBR1000rr but would prefer the 750.

You don't need to rev it out as much as you do with the 600 to get it going and it does not have all the insanity (note 'all of the insanity' as some of it is still present) of the 1000, which is not needed at all off the track anyway. In my opinion it handles a bit better than the 1000 in the twisties (at least it felt like it to me with the earlier generations) and thus is more fun. I think the 750 is an excellent choice (close to ideal) for a IL4 road race bike.

I want the GSXR600FU, Lams legal, and once done Remap the ECU for more Fun! ( or swap it out for a normal gsxr ?? )

Is it just me or do others crack up when they hear ( read ) those "FU" letters???

It's like, I'm a GSXR-600 but FU if you think you're getting full power!

No isint it GSX650fu? No R... they are a bit of a bus? look to be a 1250 Bandit frame with fairings and no power?

Yeah .. I'd go with the 750 - it's supposed to be the Rider's bike .. the 600 is Ok and the thou is just stupid power ... People who've had them all say the 750 is the way to go for true riding ...

[Banditbandit]

If that's where you're riding is at present, the remapping an FU (if that's possible) will give you so much more power that you'll enjoy it for a while without going for the Gixxer ...



No isint it GSX650fu? No R... they are a bit of a bus? look to be a 1250 Bandit frame with fairings and no power?

Not quite - they are a 650 Bandit frame with GSX forks and a few other goodies .. and yes they are under powered ... running around 40-45 horses I believe .. the 650 Bandit runs around 75/80 horses ... The 1250 is a much heavier bike (and not just because of the bigger engine) ... but running around 120 horses ..

But yes, the GSX650F is NOT a Gixxer ...

[pzkpfw]

... The 1250 is a much heavier bike (and not just because of the bigger engine) ... but running around 120 horses ..

That much?

My bike is supposed to be more or less 100 HP, and last time I was comparing the current bikes - the 1250 was about the same as mine HP wise ... but 50% more torque.

(But yes - heavier, too).

[Ender EnZed]

There is a GSXR600FU on the LAMS list but they've never been brought to NZ.

Suzuki don't give horsepower figures .. that's a figure I've seen on the net somewhere .. I'm not too hung up on horsepower figures - the thing has more power and speed than I've ever used and its frankly scared the shit out of me a couple of times .... I'm open to other suggestions - especially if someone has had theirs tested ... and yeah it has shit loads of torque ...

The figure I saw gave 120 hp at 8,700 revs - fuck me in top at 6thou revs the bikes way into the illegal zone anyway .... I doubt I have seen that sort of revs on mine anywhere above third gear ... and in the lower gears the higher rev range is fucking insane to ride in ... I did red line it in second over a hill - it was passed 130klicks ... I went passed four cars in the blink of an eye ...

Gee I wonder why ??? Who in their right mind would be a 600 Gixxer with only 40 horses ...

[matrox02]

Ah, i meant the gsx-r600U, the FU type is limited to the gsx600 ,and yeah, I had a sit ont eh standard gsx600fu and its quite the boat( large un-neededly )

[sil3nt]

Not much point wanting a bike that isn't available in NZ. Better off grabbing an IL4 250 for a few grand and saving the big bucks for the full licence.

Yeah, I kinda wish I hadnt swapped out my CBR250rh for the DR, in another way im glad I did, its a bit of a give and take...

And now you can get an L5 for that price. (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-805886706.htm)

Hi there

Saw the add today in a magazine, so went to suzuki dealership in Wellington.

He is expecting stock in December, as I definitely want to test ride. Maybe Ill be tempted to ride more often if I have a nice, new bike :niceone:

Expects them to go very quickly and also stated suzuki did a similar thing with 2011 models, but his will be current model.

First come, first serve, and it seems like a deal you cant really lose on, as price will revert back to $18k once gone.

I was thinking of saving a getting an MT09 next year, but deals like this make it difficult to know what bike to buy!

Hey there,

Twas me that you spoke to. Just had another enquiry on them and so I called Suzuki NZ to confirm arrival date. Must've drank one of my coffees when being told of their arrival date. It's Jan SNZ tell me not Dec. Humble apologies. Will def give you a shout when they turn up if you're still interested.

Pete

[nzbiker86]

Hey Pete

Yes keep me posted. Keen to have a test ride

Cheers

[Stevee2]

Just saw this deal today, might be too good to pass up :D (if there are any left).

Edit: Silly question do these have ABS?

We've got some avail mate. No abs though sorry.

[Stevee2]

Ended up buying a Street Triple in the end. I test drove a 2014 and didn't like the sports bike seating position given that I mainly do commuting/ weekend riding.

Fair enough too mate! Certainly an awesome bike you've got yourself! Hope you have a fantastic run with it.

Pete

[Stevee2]

Thanks! It's been awesome so far :D

I was quite disappointed about the seating position etc as the new GSXR colour scheme looks really cool :niceone:

Yeah and I love that they've done the foot peg hangers and pegs in an anodized black finish. Looks way cooler.

[Jezxa]

I just picked mine up yesterday and find the seating position excellent. I was also surprised that the bike feels quite a bit smaller to ride compared my old fireblade.

And yeah those anodized black aluminum bits look awesome

Choice one! Hope you have a great time with it. Bloody good buying eh!

[mossy1200]

Nice.
Idd get into trouble riding it fast approaching, through and out of corners. Very likely idd be without a licence if I bought one within a short time.

[Ender EnZed]

We've got some avail mate.

Have you got a demo sitting around in desperate need of test rides to keep the battery charged?

Yeah we may oil one up if we don't sell 'em all first mate.

This one comes pre-oiled
