600 gone, 1000 is the new baby

[Vapor]

Hey all,

An update in the life of Vapor!

Recently just traded up from my old K7 GSXR600 to the K8 Thou
I am loving it so far, just had the 1000 K First service. Love the extra power, nicer for cruising around town etc.

Have added a couple of extras so far
- Pazzo Black/Gold racing levers (Had these on the 600 and loved them)
- Single sided Japan Yoshi CF pipe (Lost alot of weight now, aswell as getting rid of the Cat etc)
- Fender Eliminator
- Black Oggy Knobs

Here are a few pics ;) Let me know what ya think..

Cheers

[fatzx10r]

[jrandom]

I hope those turkey strips came with extra dipping sauce!

:D

Nice bike.

[Vapor]

There always has to be one doesn't there :)

The strips comment..... lol

First service completed, time for some real rides now.... Plus, I actually like leaving some room in reserve on the back tyre.

Looks good, Vapor!

[Zoolander]

Looks good man, quite a striking paint scheme, and a million times better without those horrible steel buckets either side! Enjoy!

[DarkLord]

Meeeeeeeeeeaaaaan.

Awesome bike, dude.

Now if you will excuse me I must go and get a mop to clear up all of the drool all over the ground.

:drool:

That is a nice looking bike. I agree with the comments on the black and gold. Looks great.

I bet you will be having good times on that.

[discotex]

Mmmmmmmm that Yoshi really cleans up the rear huh? Bet she sounds naarsty :love:

[saul]

Best looking jappa I have seen for a long time:drool::drool:

[JimO]

how will you get on for a wof with the factory zaust removed

[Vapor]

Haven't had any issues with my 600, that had the stock removed and a Yoshi r-55..... I guess wait and see at Warrent time... I always still have the stock exhaust if needs be for a quick swaparoo!

[vifferman]

Very nice! :niceone:
You're gonna get a ticket though with that custom blank rego plate... :confused:

[Swoop]

Bloody nice bike!

Love the colour scheme.

i have an r55 on my zx10, but i think i will have to fit the stock can for the next wof :innocent:

[MentalFacility]

Nice. But i recon us hould have waited for K9.

[keithbuckby]

very nice, lucky bugger!

[Vapor]

Well, I could have waited for an 09, but here's the thing. I got that one on Summerfest with a Alpinestars TX1 Jacket all for $18,995. If I were to wait for an 09 it would be something like 20 or 21,995? So the price came into it for me aswell. Plus I actually like the shape of the K7,8s.

[Stormer]

Cool ride.
Those jap Yoshi`s make a nice yowwwll when ya giving it snot!!
The rear fender eliminator is a must too.

If you love your 06 wait till you hop on an 07-09 :eek:

[Creeping Death]

Very nice ride man and nice colour scheme!:wari:

Can anyone tell me why zorsts seem to be getting smaller and lower?I guess I'm still a fan of the zorst being around the same length of the bike (I don't mean the WHOLE bike) and finishing higher than the rear tyre,almost blew me load when I first saw the 916,yeah,I suppose it's a cosmetic thing but it looks like Suzuki are looking back to their original Gixxers...do lower pipes and shorter ones affect performance?I doubt it but to me,not being rude,they just look retro!:done:
