Gonna get a GSXR

**Razor** · 02-11-2012, 02:27 PM

So its time to buy another bike. I have never owned anything but Susuki and GSXR's are the best, IMO
I owned a 600,750 and 1000, but been out of the riding scene for almost 5 years now
Anyone have any input. The last two bikes I owned was the 750 and 1000
I am tempted to buy another 1000, but my brother says these newer 600's are plenty and more fun
I am going to use the bike basically to go see my gf and back cause she lives about an hour away
And want to have more fun on the drive than just sitting in the truck..

I road a 2010 gixxer 600. One night I was cruising down the highway and I looked in my mirrors and saw cop cars with their lights on as far back as I could see. I thought " shit I better get out of the way, someone ****ed up bad". I pulled over the first few cars passed and slammed on their break. Guns drawn, handcuffed, thrown in the back of the police cruiser and driven to the station. Apparently I failed to signal making a turn out of my apt building so a cop tried to ticket me. I had my headphones on and didnt notice as I continued onward for the next 5 miles. They hammered me with every ticket in the book. Doubled everyone because when I finally stopped it was in the beginning of a road construction zone. They took my bike, impounded it at $120 a day, and refused to sign off on it for 3 weeks. Total of all tickets and impound was $5,000. The cop failed to show for court, instead of throwing it out the judge ordered a continuance. I showed up again for court and the cop didnt show again. Judge said "2nd times a charm see you next time".

My last one was a Ninja 1000.....loved it!
...but I was a cool young dude back then...as u now

At my ripe age I´m ready for a Harley.

Btw Girlfriend?
U just broke up, and got another one....damn!
When I break up, it takes sometimes years before the next......

**gixxerboy1** · 02-11-2012, 04:01 PM

the new 600's have alot more power then they used too.
I wouldnt say they are more fun. If yuor just using it for commuting a 600 is enough. It would be cheaper to buy and insure

600 it is then. What year do you recommend?

?

**FONZY007** · 02-11-2012, 04:57 PM

Idk the new 600's look smaller than say the early 2000's models, I have a 2003 ninja zx6rr that redlines at 16k I luv it

**Far from massive** · 02-11-2012, 08:47 PM

Its really a matter of what you prefer and the intended usage. Sure a 600 has a lot more tractable power than they did just a few years ago and will be easier to throw around in traffic. By the same token you can get into some dumb ass situations throwing a 600 around and there is really nothing quite like the feel of a liter bike either working trough the gears or powering out of a curve with the frnt starting to lift and the rear starting to slide.

Agreed completely on the insurance and price deal, as for model year, newer is always better, they learn things on the track and develop new materials and manufacturing techniques that allow smaller compact pwr units as well as always decreasing the rotational center of mass etc. And on a 600 although the peak HP and TRQ numbers may be close, the advances in power usability will be HUUGGEE.

Get a 1000 u will out grow the 600. I had a 600 and out grew it pretty quick got a 1000 an never looked back. Also IMO I think the Honda is a better all round bike. I've had and ridden all of the jap big 4

I was growing out of my 600 . The only problem is I was growing into a grave. 600 is plenty of power for some of us.

**Razor** · 02-11-2012, 10:38 PM

I felt the same way when I had my 1000..I sold it and kept the 750..then eventually got rid of that too.
Weird ting about bikes, no one seems to keep them long

**Armykid93** · 02-11-2012, 11:10 PM

Those are sick bikes my friends all have them

***t-gunz*** · 02-11-2012, 11:18 PM

ive had a few bikes. 600s and 1000s

yeah everyone says 1000cc but ffs u cant use it at all the power is to much.

the 600s are the best i think. cause u need to rev em a little more. and u can play in the corners more.

600s are so much more fun. cant go past em.

***t-gunz*** · 02-11-2012, 11:19 PM

razr ur right about people not keeping bikes long.

ive had 8. i dont ride anymore i dont want to get hurt. ive had few accidents on em. nothing to bad. but enough to relise what can happen. and to me i cant justify riding anymore.

**Jessgirl** · 02-13-2012, 10:41 PM

You get 1000 and get your girl 600

I had a 1000 for about a year - I had a great time on it and always enjoyed flying through traffic plus being able to leave most other bikes for dead.
I've been looking at a Motard tbh - the riding style is a bit more fun and you can eat crap and not worry too much about it costing a fortune to repair.

+1 to another GSX 1k.

**Razor** · 02-14-2012, 05:40 PM

Im just gonna get a 600, Im past the dick measuring contest. I had a 1k already, dont really need another one.

I had a 2007 600 for three years. It was definitely my pride and join for the period I had it. Bright, fire engine red, with white and black accents, oh how it was beautiful! Then one night some ass hole decided to steal it. Oh how I was pissed. One year later, new Orleans pd called to tell me they found my bike totalled. I'm ready for another one needless to say.
