GSXR 1000

[NC]

OMG!!!!!
I had a ride on a brand spankers one lastnight...I think I'm in :love: :love:

Was my first ride on a 1 liter bike, loved every single minute of it. And it's a guy magnet :D :D :love:
But with a bike like this I could be a born-again virgin :innocent:
More satisfying than a Snickers :eek:

[vifferman]

That's all very well - but what about the SP you really loved and wanted? :spudwhat:

[NC]

Heh, I haven't ridden one of those yet :no:

It's been offered to me, to have a ride on the SP :D

One day Roger Fitz, one day.

[spudchucka]

Go for the SP2 or later. There were some handling probs with the SP1 that they ironed out in subsequent models. The SP5 has just been released too, mmmmmmmmmm SP5! insert Homer drool

* Waits in anticipation*

SP5's are heaps cheaper too...well brand new they are

[spudchucka]

Actually I thought they were right up there, around $22K. Or was you being sarcastic??

[NC]

Actually I thought they were right up there, around $22K. Or was you being sarcastic??
No seriously. 22k is cheap for them. I'm sure the rest of them came out at 25k.

I'd never be sarcatic too you.. :innocent:

[duckman]

NC30, What did you think of the power delivery - Is it manic or smooth ??

I love my twins but I've heard such good things about these Gixer 1000's.

[Deano]

* Waits in anticipation*

You going to Wanganui?

Sure am.


No seriously. 22k is cheap for them. I'm sure the rest of them came out at 25k.


Try $28k for SP1 to 4 brand new. Outrageous really. Can't beat an ex demo for $18 I reckon.

Very smooth, well compared to the NC30..heh

[Joni]

They are very nice ay.... rode one just before I came to NZ, a little big for me (OK a lot big for me), but a really nice bike!! :)

I understand NC.

[Motoracer]

That's another one converted. :headbang:

I can touch the ground, I was very suprised.

Odd sitting position, though.

Yeah you used to the Honda now, the lean is quite more forward huh, my back said hello after an hour! prefer the Honda that way... but such a smooth ride was Shauns GSXR.

Feet touching? For me.... not close....

You gonna get one? :msn-wink:

[madboy]

I tried a TL1000S a few weeks ago, and it was like night and day from my humble FZR400... and I'm told a GSXR1000 is a similar step up again... either way, they both keep you "running away from trouble" as easily as they get you into it - just as soon as i can find $18k !!!!

[Joni]

That's another one converted. :headbang:

Nah... the dark side does not beckon that loud... for me anyway! :lol:

Opened the throttle a bit (ish) and made they heartpump about 2L of blood in .0001 of a second.. And the "holy fuck" came slurring out of my huge smile...:D

Yeah its a big step up from the NC30.... but such glorious steps I think you say :2thumbsup

the GSXRthou is so much better than the TL but it aint got that something special (i think people call it character, i call it attitude or balls, big nasty ones) never ridden any 4 hundys but ive heard there pretty good. The TL handles like a bit of a donkey but its so addictive.

also one year at paeroa, when the SP2 was first released, they had one advertised at 32g's

[NC]

Darkside? It's pitch black here!

[madboy]

Well, to be more accurate, the TLs handling scared me, and the top end was crap. But then it was never designed to be a superbike.

The FZR400 handles well (in my not so experienced opinion) but has a governor at an indicated 190 which, I'm sure the 5-0 on here will be glad to point out, is more than enough to get you into trouble, but not quite enough to get you out sometimes - although to date it has been :sly:

As for the SP-1/2... oh so damn sexy they are!!! But they're in the same price bracket as an R1 and GSXR1000, so...

Ahhhh... and thats why Suzy released the TLR - Which was going to be a "superbike". The topend is much better on the TLR (compared to a TLS) but it's still a big heavy tart with a baaaad attitude. :Punk:

[MrMelon]

Fuckin aye. That gsxr thou has a pretty mental amount of power. It feels so tiny too! Especially compared to the old zx6r. I wouldn't see my license lasting very long on one of them though!

But god damn they're fun to ride.

i agree the handling on the TL is shocking. i didnt really notice till i rode a gsxrthou.

[StoneChucker]

Very smooth, well compared to the NC30..heh

The 04R1 is supposed to have an exceptionally smooth power delivery, I must test an 04/05 gsxr1K and compare.

I might go test a few different bikes sometime when I've nothing to do.

[Cajun]

well nc_30 you could get a 04 gsxr1000 dirt cheap with a free yoshi, i am sure the trash man be get one for ya, bloody good deals

they are cheaper than the 750's which is insane

Nice to see you are well focused Mr Cajun. Very impressed. Money is for bikes and gas to go in them or bits to make them go fast and handle good !!

Although sometimes it's needed to feed and clothe the next generation of mad stunters and hot biker chicks.

Which is why some of us can't afford to own the bikes we'd like to ride.

But it's all good.

[Sensei]

Well after one ride on a 03 GSXR1000 went & brought one. The thought of seeing someone else riding one & not me just wasn't going to happen knowing how great they are . Have done a 1000k in the first week .Looking forward to the trip down to Wanganui on boxing day . If you get the chance to ride one try it out . When down at Phil Turnbulls a few week's back a couple came in for the guy to try one . Came back & brought it while he was out ridng I told his wife to take it for a quick ride ,which she did when partner got back . She was coming back when I was going out on a new GSXR750 for a test , when I got back she was signing up for the other one . Phil was very happy needless to say . SENSEI :first:

[Deano]

That's all very well - but what about the SP you really loved and wanted? :spudwhat:

NC took one of these out last night for a quick burl - hit the bloody rev limiter within 500m up the road.....jeez, talk about ride it like you stole it :eek:

The grin was again ear to ear.

Sorry to the Gixxer fans but she preferred the SP...something to do with the 'wank' value of the throaty v-twin sound.

(Personally I think it was just the cyclic throbbing and all those good vibrations :shutup: :whistle: )

I think thats why chicks like twins the throbbing between there legs, shrug

Feel sorry for you, for her not at least waiting until out of ear shot before testing rev limitier.

[MotoGirl]

The reason chicks get twins is because they're compensating for their husbands who don't throb between their legs >:Þ
