Were are still in the market for a bike, but I love seeing what every one does to their gsxrs here. When we first met each other, we both said we wanted Gsxr 750's. I still plan on getting it soon (probably a 2004 or 2005). :thumbup:
chaser_corax 05-18-2006, 12:55 AM cool deal, dude! i hope you get a bike soon !!! it's FUN :lol:
FuzioN 05-18-2006, 01:26 AM you two be careful gsxr750's dont forgive :D
dilbee 05-18-2006, 06:11 AM get the k5 as thats what i got. :bounce
RJake 05-18-2006, 06:19 AM good luck on finding a bike and be careful....
motopsycho231 05-18-2006, 12:29 PM I know about being careful that's for sure. I have raced dirtbikes for like 7 years and have gone down a couple of times, lol. The road is a little meaner to your skin so I have been told, hahaha. We have already got full riding gear, we just need the bike now. I am sick of wearing my new helmet and jacket around the living room. :lol:
GSXR_FIRE_12 05-18-2006, 12:34 PM dont wanna sound mean, ive been riding mx and quads since i was 5 but to go from that to a 750 especially the newest ones? just my two cent but ive put 3 of them down and i can tell ya between my wrecking mx and my gsxr 1000 the dirt nap was alot better than waking up in the ER
:arsenal

NEVER RODE DIRT BIKES OR QUADS OR STREETBIKES. BOUGHT MY FIRST BIKE, A GIXXER 1000. I'M SO GLAD I DIDDN'T GET A 600 OR 750. I HOP ON THOSE THINGS NOW AND FEEL LIKE I'M ON SOME CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. DON'T BE A PUSSY, BUY A 1000, BUT DON'T BE A MORON WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING.
Smcneally 05-19-2006, 05:53 AM If that is your picture in the avatar doing a wheelie in shorts.... well, I wouldn't listen to him.
I wouldn't even recommend starting on a gsx-r of any size. I started on a gs500f, and I'll tell ya, it saved my ass a few times learning. You ride it for a season, then trade up if you want.
I currently own a k6 600, and there is absolutely no need for more power.
You can still burn 99% of cars out there, insurance is cheaper, and you can compete in tons of track days w/ a 600.
IMO, the definition of retarded is buying one of the fastest bikes on the market when you've never ridden. Of course, IMO.
I'd recommend learning on something cheap, then buy a 750. Two of you buying new 750s never riding before.... well, I'd say VERY good chance of one of you getting hurt. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by others (not the cyclist). Think you can avoid everything on something like that? If you do, can your g/f?
motopsycho231 05-20-2006, 11:01 AM I know I can. I have ridden many cbr 600s and even an r1 (way more power then I ever want LOL). As my girlfriend I know what you mean. I definatley want to work with her some before she drives on her own. Safety first!!!! :thumbup:

Yeah yeah I ride round guys like you on every track day I go on.
Fast as hell down the straights but just not got a clue what to do when a corner arrives :2hard

Glad somebody said it :thumbup: About the wheelie in shorts...can;t wait to see what your legs look like after they meet pavement :hammer:
PHiBRELiNX 05-23-2006, 09:03 PM Hey, GoodLuck on the bike.
From my experience, I find it easier to ride a 600 before I jumped on the opportunity of a new model 750 :) I Love it.
Before I got my 600. I've ridden a TL, Hayabusa, Dirt Bikes, whatever and don't mean shit to me.
I wouldnt mind riding a 600.
I like handling better than speed most of the time. Speed is easy.
GoodLuck to you and your Pretty Girl.
eightpilot 05-24-2006, 10:27 PM Nice girlfriend!! :D
speedjunkie27 06-03-2006, 06:50 PM that is a great choice for a bike
diesel56 06-06-2006, 07:29 PM and even an r1 (way more power then I ever want LOL).
I've ridden a few R1's (an '01 and '04) and i think my 750 is just as fast if not a little faster then the R1's were.... i wasn't expecting as much power from my K6 750 as i ended up getting. BUT DAMN I LOVE IT!!! :bounce
motopsycho231 06-06-2006, 10:01 PM Just bought a k5 600 yellow/blue. I pick it up on Saturday! Can't wait :bounce
motopsycho231 06-08-2006, 08:31 PM Couldn't wait so I picked it up today!!!!! It is so sweet! :thumbup:
rideit4ever 06-08-2006, 09:17 PM just wana say might be a good idea bro to maybe let your girl take a cycle course 1st...but thats just me....my girl wants to get a bike too! she hates being on :infrandom the tail...can't blame her, i'd be pissed!
speedjunkie27 06-17-2006, 12:30 AM I love my 750 It is the happy medium
Yeah yeah I ride round guys like you on every track day I go on.

Anybody can go fast in a straight line..... :lol:
A buddy of mine used to race in CMRA , and still only rides a ZX6-R, He gets faster laps times on his 600 than most guys get on 1000's. My first day at the track I was in the novice group with guys on 1000's and was passsing them in the corners all day long...on the outside with faster lap times as well.

His first bike was a 1000? Don't be a moron? This guy is lucky! This guy sounds like a statistic that hasn't happened yet! :headshake
motopsycho231 06-17-2006, 07:39 AM Now that I have my k5 600 I would never want a 750. I have no need for a bigger bike and I definately will probably never use all of this bike's potential. This thing is light, peppy, and freakin FUN!
