gsxr1000 k5 test ride

[WINJA]

your on pal.

NOTICE THE 2 WORDS "FORGET IT" YOUD BEAT ME IN AN ARMWRESTLE AND THEN YOUD CRASH MY BIKE.
ACTUALLY ILL RACE YOU TO PIHA AND IF YOU BEAT ME YOU CAN RIDE MY BIKE

[Coldkiwi]

I DID RIDE IT ANYONE WHOS A SERIOUS BUYER CAN RIDE THE ONE AT ROAD AND SPORT COMPARED TO YOUR 600 IT WOULD FEEL LIKE A ROCKET REMEMBER IM RIDING THE K3 1000 WHICH IS ONLY ONE GENERATION B4 WHICH MEANS THE DIFFERENCE WONT BE HUGE, I HAVE RACED AGAINST THE ABOVE BY THE WAY AND GOT ME ARSE KICKED BUT I DONT FEEL I LET MYSELF DOWN STROUD IS A WORLD CLASS RIDER , HOW DID YOU GO IN F1 BTW

yeah yeah, saying 'its not much of a step up from my k3' is quite different from saying 'its boring'.
cars are boring. GN 250's are boring. but no 2005 litre sports bike can POSSIBLY be described as boring. 'pudgy', brakes like a barge', 'rocketship' or 'slippery as a bar of soap' maybe, but not boring. if you really think its boring you need to stop doing so much acid and get back to reality!
boring is when you can't get yourself into trouble with a flick of your wrist.

I'm not intending to go F1 racing (and would surely get spat out the back if I did)... but then I'm not sounding off about the fastest bike of 2005 being 'boring' now am i?

I DONT THINK YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING FIRST OFF ALL ITS MY OPINION THAT ITS BORING , YOUR OPINION MIGHT BE DIFFERENT. IM USED TO 1 LITRE LATE MODEL BIKES SO TO ME A BIKE IS BORING IF IT LACKS KICK , MY K3 HAS KICK YOU CAN FEEL IT COME ON CAM AND IT SOUNDS AND FEELS FAST , A ZX10 TO ME FEELS RAW AND SOUNDS GOOD AND HAS A RACEY FEELING , I MAY GO FASTER ON A K5 BUT IT DOESNT MEAN ITS MORE FUN THAN A ZX10. IF YOU JUMP OFF A 600 ONTO THIS BIKE YOUD FEEL THE KICK I CANT , FUCK THE BOTTOM END A THOU NATURALLY HAS BOTTOM END I WANT THE POWER AT THE TOP.
SO STOP BEING A CUNT AND KEEP THE PERSONAL COMMENTS IE TAKING ACID TO YOURSELF, CAUSE IF YOU WANT PERSONAL INSULTS IM THE KING.
AND BTW IM NOT SAYING I WONT GET THE K5 , ITS JUST NOW I MIGHT CONSIDER A ZX10 OR AN R1 FROM THE GOOD THINGS STONECHUCKER SAYS ABOUT HIS

Man, it'd be mean to get to your level to be fully comfy with a thou. I need a thou first though. Before that I need money first though. Crap, will have to wait then. :-C

THE K5 MADE ME GO HMMMM , I DONT LIKE HMMMM I LIKE FUCK YEAH , SO ZX10 TEST RIDE HERE I COME AGAIN, OR POSSIBLY AN R1 BUT DEFINATLY NOT A HONDA.

'NOT A HONDA' - that's a given, nuf said.
Let us all know if you do change to a ZX10 or R1. Some of us would be keen to hear what gets you off the GSX 04, if not the 05. The latest bike mags really rate the new GSX as the best of the bunch. Better go for a wander tomorrow to see if one's in town.

DONT GET ME WRONG I CANT USE A GSXR1000 K1/K5 TO ITS LIMITS IM NOT A REALLY FAST RIDER ,ONLY ABOUT 5 PEOPLE IN NZ CAN ID SAY, BUT I CANT REALLY FEEL BIKES ACCELERATE ANY MORE, YOUD KNOW WHAT I MEAN THINK OF YOUR FIRST 5 TIMES GOING DOWN THE BACKSTRAIGHT AT PUKE ITS LIKE WOW BUT AFTER 200 LAPS IT FEELS JUST LIKE YOUR DOING 50KMH, YOU JUST GET USED TO IT , YOU GET DESENSETIZED .

Yea true, I know what you'r saying. Good thing I only ride my bike 1ce a month so it still feels pretty fast. But your right, the acceleration doesn't feel as exciting as it used to, prolly cause I've become numb to it (Or maybe she's getting old and loose lol).

Well after riding the CBR & R1 & from what I've been told about the ZX10
been like a light switch with how the power comes on . That would have to be my pick as I'm the same as WINJA in that I love the RAW feeling of the GSXR's . Hope to get a ride on the Demo GSXR K5 when it gets here . Still look for a ride on a ZX10 if one avalible

[slob]

YOU JUST GET USED TO IT , YOU GET DESENSETIZED .

Ya need to spend a week commuting on a 50cc scooter to rejuvenate your senses for the weekend when ya get back on the K3/K5...

thanks for clearing that up. if the first post had some of that useful information about performance, I might well have held my tongue instead of giving you stick for a relatively pointless post.

I hope my local shop will let me try one out but from what my GSXR Mate Winja has to say sounds like they may have tamed the Beasts Rawness abit much Still think the K3 looks Fucken Tops & still kick all apart from the ZX10 which I had a race against 1 week after I brought my GSXR so couldn't do my hardest effort so had to follow behind . Waiting for a rematch have been practicing very hard as of late so should put up a honest challenge next time
