Gawain 0 #3 May 8, 2004 Suzukis rock! I used to have an older GSX-R 600 -- pre-fuel injection. That engine could rev. I understand the FI models scream even higher...enjoy. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

The111 0 #9 May 9, 2004 My friend had one of those, but a 750, and I saw him do some things that seemed scarier than skydiving to me. Wheelies at 100mph+ through traffic and around corners (even over a bridge in one case), for miles at a time, stoppies starting from 100mph. He said the scariest thing by far though was taking it to 160mph on a long straight empty road... he'd have to focus on the horizon because any bumps, etc in the road would only be visible for a split second before he had to react, and he literally had to hang on for dear life as the wind tried to take him off the bike. He only wrecked it once, in a really funny way, doing a wheelie by some girl's house he was mad at, going about 80mph in a residential zone with no helmet while mooning everyone... he couldn't slow down enough for a turn coming up and laid it down at about 40mph and rolled into the grass unscathed, with his pants still down. After getting 12 points on his license in one year he decided to sell it...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoostedXT 0 #13 May 9, 2004 Nice choice....I had an 02' GSXR 750. Dayumn I miss that bike. I could bounce up wheelies at 80+ like nothing.....and even clutch them up too....though not to healthy on the bike. Ride her safe......and keep the rubber side down.

Kris 0 #23 May 10, 2004 QuoteQuotedon't hit a deer riding that thing. Snicker! Drive it down to Dallas. I've got a lonely porch and 12-pack of Shiner. I am never going to live down killing Bambi, am I? Okay, here's the whole sordid dealio on how I ended up with this bike... The pilot at Skydive Hinton made the mistake of letting me drive his '03 Yamaha R6 a couple of months back. I had owned a Ninja 600 about a decade back, but thought I was over the bike bug until I took his for a spin down the taxi-way. Well, I didn't have the money to get a bike and thought that was the end of it. The plot thickens... Two weeks back we had a vicious hail storm come through while I was at work. My car didn't look bad, so I didn't think much about it. I took it to the ins agent on a lark this past Tuesday to have them look it over anyway. I walked out of there with a check for $4K *giving mad props to State Farm* I saw a couple of low-end 600's, but nothing that didn't look like ass or wasn't rode hard. A 750 is honestly way too much bike for me. Well, a dealership that I was looking at earlier in the week called me and told me a damn funny story... It seems this idiot bought this 02' Gixxer 600 new, and within having it a week, layed it down and rashed up the left side. Apparently, he scared himself pretty good on it several times after that. He brought it by the shop two days ago and tried to sell it. They weren't looking to buy any used bikes at the time so he was going to take it down the street to another bike shop. In the parking lot, doing about 10mph, he lays it down on the other side and rashes up that side and bloodies his hands up pretty good. The owner went out and bought the bike off the guy to keep him from killing himself and called me. It needs the plastics on both front lower fairings either repainted or replaced, and a new gas tank (which I found on eBay for $110 shipped). I walked out of there with the bike (which only had 3600 miles on it), matching helmet, and an order for an armored matching jacket for.....$3650. The same bike in good condition can't be found for less than $6500-7000. So, that's my story, sometimes timing is everything and having a positive balance in one's Karma account pays off big.*ducking because I know Merrick is really going to have it in for me now after reading that one*Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
