Thinking of buying a gsxr1000k1 or k2

[kiwifruit]

im interested to hear from people who own such machines.
I haven't heard anything bad about them so far....
anything i should know before i get anymore serious?
thanks in advance, Allan.

[WINJA]

i had a k2 1000 , nice finish , good bike especially for its year , i traded it on a k3 which is slightly more refined.

[marty]

and what happened to that one winja?

"Refined" and "Suzuki's" are two words that shouldn't be mixed MATE!

[**R1**]

"Refined" and "Suzuki's" are two words that shouldn't be mixed MATE!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[onearmedbandit]

Just bought a K2 gixxer thou and absolutley love it! Can't post more currently (someone needs this computer) but go for it. Can't wait to see how this thing goes against an R1, my 750 wasn't too far behind a '00 model in accel at Ruapuna, and the thou just blows the 750 away!

[kiwifruit]

so, Finn, do u think i should buy a honda instead?
i am open to suggestions
looking to spend up to 13k
the gsxr1000 seems to be by far the best bike for the money......
maybe im blinded by my affection for suzukis?
cheers, Allan.

[Sensei]

Road my Mate 04 CBR1000RR on Sunday while he took my K3 GSXR & nothing had changed from the first time I road the Blade " Boring bike " . Excellent front end after I had set it up for him , Back shock was crap not enough rebound valving , & the most dissapointing thing was the Motor ! Wouldn't Peel the skin of a Rice Pudding no power under 5000rpm & very flat power delivery didn't even bother Tapping it out wasn't any point .The biggest thing that Pissed me off was seeing my GSXR piss off into the distance while I waited for this Blade to come on song which it did after 3 down changes & I didn't even own it & I was Gutted with it . Hope they wake their Ideas up or they will stay the at the bottom of the pack for yet another year .

[bladez]

Ride all the 1000cc range and see what best suits you as every rider rides a diffrent way :2thumbsup

Nah, I was just having a go.

Go with whatever does it for you. I'd have prefered a european bike but they rip you here in NZ and don't hold many parts.

The gsxr's a good choice.

The December 05 UK superbike magazine compares the K2 thou with a K4, an 02 R1, and the 05 CBR.
Quoted from the article:
The real surprise of the test was the K2 GSX-R1000. It forces you to completely rethink the second hand bike market since its awesome engineand more than capable chassis are almost a match for bikes costing twice the price.

[Zed]

...nothing had changed from the first time I road the Blade " Boring bike "Doesn't mean all Blades are boring, in fact there is a substantial following of Fireblades throughout the world, one such forum I belong to has close to 8000 members who rave on about how they are such a good ride! We all have our differing opinions.

Mr Oil Boiler, you did title your thread about Suzookis, so I will tell you that I have only heard good things about the K1-K2, in fact i looked close at the early K-series gixxers before I bought my 954 Blade. Hondas are more comfortable though imo...:yeah:

Yeah and I rode a "mates" K3 GSXR on Saturday. The ride started off like most Suzuki rides, you know, a roll of duct tape to hold the shitter together and a prayer to the makers that it wouldn't disintegrate under me. It finally got started and off we went. You're right, the thing pulls like a school boy and it almost had my blade beat but we had to stop to fill it up with oil. Just as well as there was a corner coming up so we pushed it around just to be on the safe side. While topping her up and duct taping the exhaust back on, this 4 year old wanders up and says "fuck, that's one ugly mother of a bike mister." It just gutted me. My mates only saving grace is that once a year the Council have an inorganic collection so it won't cost him anything to dispose of it.

Yada, yada, yada.

Yes, very selectively quoted. You missed out the great pair of tits in the centrefold and their final analysis...

"Well it would have to be the Fireblade, simply because it is the best bike on the test."

[boomer]

Hondas are more comfortable though imo...:yeah:

well i can honestly say my fucker aint comfy :pinch:

Swapped with a mates k5 600 at the weekend and i reckon under 10k the CBR was sharper; Although the feedback from the gixxer was excellent, i was quite put off by all the chatter at first from teh wheels but then ralised it was talking to me.. something the Honda don't do!

Horses for course mate.. i like the sexy shape of the honda, i think all but the k6 Gixxers are ugly but hey..

It was selectively quoted as the thread was specifically asking about the K1 and K2 bikes, not brand new Hondas

Nice Poem Finn !! , still doesn't change the Fact . I give excellent Prase when I ride a bike that Impresses me & a CBR1000 doesn't don't have to Lie about it . Even my Mate who owns it said how Soft it felt against My GSXR ! With a Pipe filter cams & some good Mapping it would Fly but not Standard it barely SIT'S !

[White trash]

I'm lovin the K2 thou'. Mint bikes, true Gixxer nuttiness and nice and comfy.

The best bit is the price you can get 'em for now. Fucken bargain, go for it.

ALRIGHT, I HAVE A SLOW BIKE!!!

But I've ordered (just today) a PC and micron pipe. Will get a new filter and not sure about the cams, may just change a sprocket.

WILL THAT DO?

Oh yeah, I can't ride for shit but I can lift really heavy weights.

OK BUT GET A BETTER BIKE FIRST , BRINGING THAT CBR1000RRARSE TO RACE A GIXXER1000 WOULD BE LIKE YOU BRINGING A CHOPSTICK TO A SWORD FIGHT .

[R1madness]

The only bad thing i know of is that old race ones can give problems with the aautomatic cam chain tensioner. If it has been raced replace it (lift the tank and its only 2 bolts to remove) and all will be fine.

[kiwifruit]

cool, thanks 4 the replys everyone
*crosses fingers for the finance to go thru*
..... please go thru, please go thru.......

will post pics of new baby soon (hopefully!)

cheers, Allan.

[R1madness]

Oh yea the clutch can get a bit grabby after repeated hard starts as well. They are strong as a tank. You will love it. Thats saying something comming from a R1 owner, apparently we hate suzukis hahaha

[Sensei]

[QUOTE=Finn]ALRIGHT, I HAVE A SLOW BIKE!!!

Didn't say they where SLOW ! 299k is far from slow dude Said their Motor needed to have some work , Eg refine the Delivery down low & sort the rear end out . Gearing will liven up bottom end of your Bike Shit loads

[The_Dover]

Maybe you were just too fat for it Sensei??

[Sensei]

Maybe you were just too fat for it Sensei??

Weigh the same as you Ya Dick .

[Patch]

Hey Oil Boiler, there'll probably be a cheap K6 in the next couple of months, just keep ya eyes peeled on here, as there was a couple of cheap K5's going last year. Just ask Dover - I hear he is quite well informed with cheap gixxer's :nya:

I've just picked up a PC, Micron pipe and a K&N filter. It's booked on the 16th to have all this installed and tuned on the dnyo at AMPS. What do you mean by sorting the back end out? Also, what's your suggestion on the gearing?

Make sure they get the bottom end off throttle well sorted up to & past 5000rpm . Back end when I road Dave's lacked enough Rebound damping , Eg run out of adjustment before I could get it to where I wanted it to be . Front felt Mint as excellent feed back even when pushed & good plush ride when in town . Gearing I dropped mine one tooth which transfomed the all ready excellent bottom end that GSXR's have into a Beast out of corner's 3rd gear power stands on throttle , that all aside tho speedo out 10k's now so would need a Speedo Healer if ya wanted to get thing's but to normal . Could get you Settings off Mates front end that I did for him if keen ? Hope all goes will ya Dyno run . Friend got his done at Garry Pendiltons ? GP Trading Very Impressive 7hp + Top end , 4 + Bottom end

Nice one man, you're goona love the GSXR till death do you part (long time from now that is) :Punk:

[kiwifruit]

ooooh i do, i do!
already i love it
its completly insane, yet perfectly sane at the same time, if that makes sence...
i will miss my old oil boiler tho *sob*

[onearmedbandit]

Do the TRE mod, you won't regret it. Mu ha ha ha ha! Honestly, put one on myself last night and response in first is just unreal now. I'd go as far as saying the std power delivery in first is 'soft' compared to an unrestricted version.

[loosebruce]

know what you're saying mate, i'm selling my TL now but i'm going to miss it badly, even though i've had the GSXR for a while (long enuf to kill it too) but am looking forward to getting it back on the road. But it's no TLS :(

sounds good onearmedbandit, however i dont think i will be doing any mods to this bike. Ian from bayride has done all that for me! Muahahahaha
yoshi cams, flowed head, full yoshi zorst etc etc 165 at the wheel im told!
far too much power for me (at this stage)

[2much]

Congrats Oil Burner, that's a great buy.

I know that bike and it's a fucken weapon (175hp at the rear wheel!), belonged to Ian, one of the mechanics there and it's been well looked after.

I looked at it myself and it's a mint bike with alot of work done to it, but it was a little more than what I was wanting to spend.... please don't tell me you got it for under 12000 or I might cry, that woulda been a steal!

[emaN]

bring it out to Kawhia with us lot on Sat!!!

be a good chance to get used to some of those ponies!

[kiwifruit]

Kawhia sounds good, if this weather gets better.......
2much, i paid 10k for it (with my 90gsxr750 as well)

Ahh yeah, me and my K2 thou with end can and filter only will slink back into the shadows now. Shit, that must be a lot of fun to ride.

BTW, nice parking. Now to convince the wife that it is compulsary for GSXR owners to park their bikes inside to be admired while not being ridden.

Happy happy joy joy :spudflip:

[kiwifruit]

sounds pretty deady man!
what was wrong with the old motor?

[loosebruce]

sounds pretty deady man!
what was wrong with the old motor?

Fucked the crank, rods, number 2 piston, cam chain etc

Whats weird though is Suzuki said it was run low on oil that caused the damage and weren't going to warrenty it. Will know more next week, pretty dissapointed with Suzuki though, could've been a faulty oil pump or ......??? Not even a partial warrnety.

But: oil light never came on! And normally a motor staved of oil the top end will go first but that was sweet, go figure, am waiting to get the "10" page report to come back.
But came accros a K4 motor with 8000km on it, $3600, could've landed a K4 with 1500km, headers, airbox, oil cooler, loom and cdi for that price from the states, but i want it now, and if there was any hassle with the one from the states it could turn into a real nightmare, but over here, a few of the boys and we'd sort em.

[kiwifruit]

damn!
come on suzuki, pull thru with a full warrenty i say
would be better for them in the long run, good press instead of bad press....
good luck with the swap man, i hope it goes hickup free
