Bike of the Month July 2008

http://www.gsxr.com/gallery/data/501/GSXR-BotM0708.jpg Congratulations Taz! 2007 GSXR 1000 The Story: "I started getting the urge to get a new bike last May. I had my sights on an MV Agusta or a Ducati 1098. Having roadraced for several years, I wanted something that would be magical on the street and the track. I got to ride my buddies 07 MV Agusta 312R for about an hour and hated everything about it except how it looked. A few weeks later, I got to ride a 1098s at the track. Sweet bike but I wasn't feeling the Ergos for the street and the heat from the exhaust. Sooo, with money being of little issue, I went and traded my 04 GSXR 1k for a 2007 GSXR 1K. This is absolutely the nicest bike I have ever ridden and will most likely keep it until it or I die." Completed Modifications: Yoshimura single sided 1/2 system PCIIIusb Gilles Vortex Rearsets Yoshimura Case Savers Penske Triple shock set up by Jim Linderman Front suspension worked by GMD Galfer brake lines front and back Performance Friction brake pads Pazzo full length levers 1Carbontech Side covers, front fender, and hugger Puig windscreen Woodcraft Frame sliders Stompgrip tank pads Motovation Axle Sliders front and back. Eracings fairings(for the track) The bike is ridden on the street 70% of the time and 30% on the track. Future Modifications: PVM or Marchesini wheels Clipons Vortex or other Brembo brake calipers and M/C Carbon fiber intakes Carbon fiber lower (as soon as 1Carbontech finishes designing it)

congrats taz :clap:

I'd just like to thank everyone that made this possible....:bounce Really though, thank you! The bike is being purposefully assembled to be a dedicated track bike that is sometimes ridden on the street.

Excellent Bike!! I have the same bike that I'm still working on. I told my friends the same thing. I will keep this bike until it dies, I die or we both die together!! I said it and meant it...but I certainly didn't mean I would'nt get other bikes. One of it's stable mates... http://www.maxlean.com/photos/albums/userpics/10001/normal_first%20day-0833.jpg

Nice Ride! Is there a huge difference between the 04 and 07 models concerning power/handling?

Nice Ride! Is there a huge difference between the 04 and 07 models concerning power/handling? Huge difference, the 04 felt like an anvil compared to the 07

Huge difference, the 04 felt like an anvil compared to the 07 Mmm, Time to consider a trade!

I have the 08 1000 and want the same one for mine. thanks John http://www.gsxr.com/gallery/data/501/GSXR-BotM0708.jpg Congratulations Taz! 2007 GSXR 1000 The Story: "I started getting the urge to get a new bike last May.

Hey who made your exhaust hanger, and where did you get it from? I have the 08 1000 and want the same one for mine. thanks John It is from Yoshimura. My 600 exhaust came with 2 hangers, one to keep the rear footpegs and one without them. I scavenged the one for no rear footpegs. I am sure if you call or email Yosh, they will sell you the part by itself.

This is absolutely the nicest bike I have ever ridden and will most likely keep it until it or I die. ...or until Suzuki comes out with a new one that is a big improvement on the '07. Which may not be too far off.

...or until Suzuki comes out with a new one that is a big improvement on the '07. Which may not be too far off. I have too much dinero into this one and I am not sure if their idea of improvements is the same as mine. This bike does everything I need a bike to do and fits me well while doing it. I'll buy other bikes, maybe even GSXRs, but I'll keep this one.

Very nice, I love those carbon fiber yosh exhausts..

Old thread but just an update. Added Marchesini wheels and Driven Clip-ons all that's left is Ohlins forks and Brembo Brakes (I think that's all that is left :) ) http://www.maxlean.com/photos/albums/userpics/10001/gsxr1000-marchesini.jpg

Unfortunately, I have to wait to install the calipers until I get the proper adapter for my Galfer SBK lines.

Unfortunately, I have to wait to install the calipers until I get the proper adapter for my Galfer SBK lines. That sucks. Hope you get it soon. Oh, and I'll definitely let 1CarbonTech know you pointed me in the right direction...right towards their site! haha
