Well folks, sorry for keeping some of you guessing there for a while but here you have it!

2002 SUZUKI GSX-R 600 K2 RACE BIKE!! (Mate, I had the biggest grin on my face as I typed that)

Pics are attached bellow.

My 3 biggest heroes in no particular order are Firefight, Mrs Firefight and Whitetrash. There is nothing I can say to express how grateful I am for everything that you guys did. If you guys need me for ANYTHING, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, I'll do whatever is possible to be of any assistance.

YOU GUYS ROCK MAN!!!

Thanx TS and Indy. Oh and TS, I just went through some major financial loss yet again. Its just another thing that I'll just have to live with... I'll get another night job or a weekend job then get heaps of laps in there when I can. Then I'll do some club rounds on it when my lap times are up to speed.

BTW, I bought full road gear as well. I have brand spankin new black and yellow road fairings for it :)

Motoracer, what is it with you and major financial losses? :argh:

Anyways, fantastic bike...I'm so jealous (being bikeless for another month or so and unable to race this year). Have heaps of fun.

Wicked bike man, congrats!

M'Racer. Glad I could help man! Jo is extremely pleased you got it as he knows it will be well looked after and an awesome learning tool.

I'll get that Service CD rom copied this week and get it courierd to you. If you have any questions about maintenance or set up let me know.

You're a lucky man getting that bike, I envy you.

Have fun, brother.

PS Thanks for the excuse for a ride to pick you up, the wife wasn't too amused but she's cool since I explained the situation and a speeding ticket is a small price to pay for an enjoyable ride :rolleyes:

WOW, that's a great looking bike. And the yellow and black road fairings sound good too. Will need to pictures to confirm my suspicions though,
:rolleyes:

Have fun but watch out for nails. :-(

lol yea I know, dave was telling me that.

I am looking forward to that CK :yes: However, my van was the financial disaster this time since I blew the head gasket and its stuck about 400km from here. So I will need a couple of weeks to sort out my van before I can get to the track with it. That april twenty something bike only open day sounds good to me.

Thanx for the compliment but I'll have to see how quick or slow I am on the 23rd. The bike is all good so now its all up to me on how well I can do on the track. I got no more excuses left! :p

Either I do the same thing that guy on the R1 did or I will have to wait till the 23rd till I can ride it for the first time ever. I might just ride it down and up my drive way today though. My fingers are just twiching to turn that key over and go for a blast.

I can't disagree with that!.. nor can I suggest would Shaun Harris who posted 1:00:50 lap times earlier this year on a fairly similar K3!

I believe you're thinking of Craig Sherrifs or Jared Love.

Shaun hasn't ridden a Suzuki in NZ for a few years now.

hmm... to take the bait or not? no... I'll give a wheelie happy gsxr rider the benefit of the doubt and say you won't be too damn slow at all!! (reminds me of mates who have claimed the 'useless' card before go-karting only to show everyone the way around!)

White trash
23rd March 2004, 11:46
:msn-wink: Can't pull one over you, can we.

I'm not the one to watch though. If you ever get down to Wgtn, watch out for a shaggy lunatic on a Silver/Red CBR6. It's always the ones you least expect. :devil2:

Coldkiwi
23rd March 2004, 11:54
hehe, likewise if you see a shady looking blokes on an old school GPZ750 or bespeckled CBR250rr up this way!! (you know who you are) :niceone:

23rd March 2004, 18:52

And so do you from what I've heard!! Do you think that you'll be quicker than Sudeep in the twisties?

Motoracer
29th March 2004, 23:13
KK, thanx. About the me thinking I am too good for F3 is all wrong though. I didn't plan on getting this bike at all. It was just there in my face that morning when Whitetrash posted it. Thought about it for a minute and decided to get it straight away. If I had spare cash, I'd definetly still start up from F3 but rather than having 2 seperate bikes for road and track, I thought I'd just have 1 newer road/race bike. Anyway... hopefully, I'll come out racing on the club rounds on my bike and still get to see you lot out there. :niceone:

CK, When yous are riding next, If you want, just put a post or pm me saying that there's a ride and I'll see if I can make it that day (I am clocking up lots of hours at work now). I am definetly keen on comming along to another organised KB run as well.

Andrew, Andy1 would whip my ass.

12th April 2004, 13:01
After I got mine, a mate just got one exactly the same as mine! And another mate of mine is seriously thinking about getting a GIXXER 6 K2 as well. Ohhh Noooooooo! :shit:

This must be like when a chick gets a new top and her mates get exactly the same top as well.


P.S. If you read this Sean, I am just fooling around. I am really happy and rapt for your new bike. :)

That could be him, another biker mate lives out that way.
