GSXR 1000 Std tank range ? before and after res.

Nothing. All bikes are fun. Anyone who tries to tell you xyz is better than abc is a bit focussed in outlook.

You're a wise man Jim2... However, you seem to go through a lot of bikes Heh heh... Thanks though.

OK, now the question is get the GSXR1000 and sell the ZXR or keep the ZXR and get another bike as well for a bit less ?... Coz 10k+ is a lot to spend on a bike and I'm having 2nd thoughts. I mean, I can get a TLR fairly cheap and keep the ZXR for a laugh... What would I really be missing out on ?

Sell the ZXR and get the GSXR1000, I garantee that once you got the GSXR you'ld have no interest in riding the ZXR any more anyway and it would just sit in the shed gathering dust.

IMHO, alot
have you riden a gixxer 1000?
give it a go to see what u are missing.....
awesome bike, does everything very very well
how cheap can you get a TLR?

[sedge]

7.5 for the TLR... Prolly 10.5 or 11 for the GSXR...

Don't get me wrong, I love riding the ZXR... I've ironed out all the kinks but it's hideous (beautiful in its ugliness really) and it only has the single seat.

I guess what it comes down to this, I want something just as characterful (is that a word ?) but with another seat.

I'm taking Friday off to test ride bikes... Any TLR or GSXR owners willing to let me ride their bikes ? I'll let you ride mine. (I'm in Kapiti, but will be between Palmy and WGTN on FRI and the w'end.

I've ridden both a GXSR1000 and a ZXR1200 and I wouldn't buy either - so try a few more options!

[saul]

Don't buy a TLR they are a great big fat whale

[kiwifruit]

7.5 seems pretty cheap for a TLR
cool bikes i recon, never riden one tho...
the gsxr1000 doesnt ooze character like the zxr does (IMHO of course ^__^)
i guess its down to personal preference




EDIT:
just ran out of gas @ 278km
fuel light came on at 210km
was sitting on 140-150 most of the time (+/- 45km/h for speedo error) never really cranked it open,
just out of a couple of corners.
thats pretty good i thought!
