    GSXR 1000 detonated!

    My old GSXR is dead
    at about 90,000 kms the engine blew up, pissing oil over the rear tire, and causing it to fall over.
    I am proud to report it was ridden properly.

    It seems a bit unusual though, for it to implode like that!

    RIP my old K1

    I don't reckon they would be all that easy to blow up, if they are regularly maintained.
    You've done well!
