    600 gone, 1000 is the new baby

    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

    Clinton (AKA Vapor)

    Nice mate! I like the black and gold!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

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

    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.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.

    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.
