I've joined the Gixxer club

[SpankMe]

I wasn’t expecting when I went to work this morning that I would be riding back on a brand new 2006 GSXR750. But the opportunity presented itself to get one in the color I wanted for a cheap price. When I herd that it was the only one of this color in the country I just had to have it.

It was one of the bikes at the Phillip Island press release, but only the blue/white bikes were ridden and my one was just there to show the color. With only 325kms and $1,500 below standard price, I took it.

Big thanks to SARGE for doing the deal, getting it ready so soon and letting me take one last goodbye ride on my SV while the 750 was being readied for the road. I’m gonna miss the V-Twin a lot, but after 7 years of riding SV’s, it was time for a change.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to inform the members of my SV site (http://www.sv-portal.com/) that the site owner no longer owns an SV.

[Colapop]

I can't say anything but,

:gob: :gob: OMG!!!!:gob: :gob:


What's gonna happen to the SV site?:bye:

[hXc]

Now I have to say that I'm dissapointed in the move from a twin to a 4 *Shudder*. But what a nice bike that is. Congrats on the new steed and hope that you have many more years of fun with a new toy. Looks shiny *Drools*

[marty]

ouch. all those one-eyed v-twinners.......

[MSTRS]

That is one sweet looking bike. Well done.
just a point here tho - you can't keep doubling your cylinders for ever you know...

[James Deuce]

Bwahahahahahaa!

Nice bike.

[Riff Raff]

Fuck that's a horny looking bike, Spank Me. Congrats.

Have to confess I've been thinking about making the change too - unfortunately I have too many financial commitments at the mo to be able to do it.

[The_Dover]

Change yer profile spank.

[Postie]

Spank, if you get too much greif about not having an SV and you decide you no longer want that 750, just let me know, I'll be happy to take it off your hands for you............


Thats one sweet machine mate.

[SPman]

Brilliant bikes - you'll love it!

[2much]

Welcome to the club! It kinda sneaks up on ya doesn't it? But don't worry, it's a sweet life from here on, smoking anything on two wheels or four.

Congrats Ash and welcome to the Gixxer brotherhood! I can't help but wonder if that lift I gave you on my crusty ol' SRAD had anything to do with it? :blip:

So, have you signed up with http://www.gsxr.com/ yet?

[SpankMe]

[Hitcher]

A sweet looking bike there, Spank. Good skills. Keep it well away from reversing RAV4s...

[orangeback]

[junglegirl]

Thats a pretty bike, indeed!!! Good score and ride hard!!!

[Her_C4]

:gob: awesome bike and neat colour scheme :first:

I have taken one for a test ride just recently and have to admit I was pretty impressed (even if it IS a SUZUKI!!) ha ha ha

Lucky you!! :rockon:

[Back Fire]

So you did end up getting it.

brilliant stuff, staying with the master race of all japo sport bikes :nya: :rockon:

poor SARGE... you bought his bike :blah:

[Zed]

Congrats SpankMe! You did well staying with SV's for as long as you did, enjoy the Gixxer, wonderful looking machine man!! :yes:

[Gazman]

That is a beautiful looking bike, nice buy.

[Qkchk]

:niceone: congrats on the new bike WELCOME TO THE SUZUKI CLUB :first: Spankme from qkkid:innocent: currently sulking in the sinbin

[Matt Bleck]

coor, that is nice....

[NUTBAR]

Very nice bike,
im looking at getting a Honda ST1300.
could anybody tell me what the range in kms you get from a tank.
iv got a suzuki M50 800K5 at the moment, im getting about 320 - 330 ks out of it.:blip:

[deeknow]

the only one that came in that wasn't blue and white , ove the 20 that came in

not quite, a dude at my work has just bought an all-black one, very patriotic of him I reckon. Very cool machines, not sure if I could cope with the blue-and-white ones, just too hard on the eyes :puke:

[Sackman]

Yep your a lucky man . nice detail on it,different but nice !!
Ride it well!

[Uncle B]

I made the move from the SV to the GSXR at the beginning of the year (VTWIN was my old user name) You won't look back once you get used to it. You riding will reach a new level of enjoyment.

Sweet bike

Well done that man :first:

[Clivoris]

Geez Spank,
could it be any more bling? It can only be a matter of time before the need for a thou rears it's ugly head. Wonder what the 07 colours are like? :first:

[Dafe]

I also moved from a SV thou to a gixxer thou.

Uncle B followed me, coz he's just a sheep.
Seriously though, he had to coz he didn't want to ride alone!:nya:

As Uncle B said, you'll never look back, and that is absolutely true!

Your limits to your riding have just risen beyond view, go forth and enjoy. That is one bling as bike. And extra blingy since it's a one of a kind paint jobby. Wise choice!

[mikey]

should of got yellow

[orangeback]

not quite, a dude at my work has just bought an all-black one, very patriotic of him I reckon. Very cool machines, not sure if I could cope with the blue-and-white ones, just too hard on the eyes :puke:
it will be one ove the 600 they brought in, at the same time, As none ove these bikes make the ADR law in OZ so that why they came to NZ, I got one ove thes back in 94 with the relalese ove the ZX9R B1 paid $17300 for it rather than $20800 (good deal but bad bike)

[Uncle B]

Uncle B followed me, coz he's just a sheep.
I know that you have finally succeeded in your desire to become like me. Wondered why your always behind be....now I know.....it's because your a sheep too. :second:

Baaaa

[Fatjim]

Nice colour, what do they call it?

Menstrual red?

Should have bought Mikeys bike! Not.

[Darkman]

wow man..that is one good looking bike. What is the 750s like..do you have to rev them like ther 600s?

[SARGE]

So you did end up getting it.

brilliant stuff, staying with the master race of all japo sport bikes :nya: :rockon:

poor SARGE... you bought his bike :blah:



Dover got the one i ordered in for myself originally.. Spank got the second one i had my eye on..

guess i'll just have to either get a ThunderAce or drop another few $$ into the FJ

[Ixion]

by the way... someone top up my Centurion (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/fw_pollbooth.php?do=showbooth&boothid=14.htm) votes please?.. im slipping ...lol

[Sniper]

Well done SM. Damn nice bike mate

[MD]

Beautiful looking in that colour, well done.

[JWALKER]

congrats. welcome to the gixxer club.

[Toast]

Fly bike Spank...the red in the pics there looks better than in the official pics you posted a few days back.

Am I just blind though, or is there no engine mounts for mounting crash bungs? Don't tell me that you've gotta cut those pretty fairings to do so now?

Only on the left for some fucked up reason.

That's bloody ridiculous, I thought Suzuki took these things in to account more than other manufacturers. Seems like styling cues took a higher priority this year. Shame...

[imdying]

I wonder what these 20+ cheap bikes does to the resale value of GSXRs?

*is insanely jealous*

[inlinefour]

[Drunken Monkey]

That's porn Spank, pure porn...

[750Y]

hahahahaha... hahahaha...
can't believe you stayed in the closet that long bud... 8-)

[Pixie]

ouch. all those one-eyed v-twinners.......
who wants to ride a compressor anyway?

[Motoracer]

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to inform the members of my SV site (http://www.sv-portal.com/) that the site owner no longer owns an SV.

Ha ha ha, I'd just love to hear some of the things they'll say after hearing the news. ha ha

Huge congrats to you fearless leader! She's a sexy looking bike alright.

One thing though, where's the chicky babe on top? It's unusual to see your bike posing for a photo shoot with out a babe on it.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh on a ride some time soon! :)

[paturoa]

Ha ha ha, I'd just love to hear some of the things they'll say after hearing the news. ha ha

sad sad day for the forum....

I saw one of these sitting beside a K6 thou' the other day (guess whose)...and it was rated at 103dB standard...while the thou' was rated at 92dB I believe...I didn't hear them firing...but that's pretty odd that they made it so loud.

[DemonWolf]

Congrats SpankMe.. let us know when you start missing the VTwin and how much ya enjoying your new Steed.

[SPman]

The bike or the chicky babe???

[SpankMe]

There's now a very clean looking Silver SV1000s sitting at Coleman's for $8,995.

Love the new bike. Smaller and much lighter which is better for me. I've only been for a couple of rides outta town, but feel much more confident around the twisties and in the wet than I did on the SV.

Will always miss the V-Twin engine, but I'm really enjoying the new gixxer.

[Kornholio]

Fwooooaaaar Kornholios gonna like that... !
Nice bike from a good brand eh..

Aye Corumba!!!!

Nice machine Spank, have fun :doobey:

[Lou Girardin]

Nice bike Spank, real bikes have 4 cyls.
