The sales guy said this is a perfect starter bike so I bought it.

What is the loudest exhaust and will synthetic oil void my warranty.

Also do I need a Juice box if I get a full system?

No trade in, sold it.

i'da put the money towards a better drywall guy and some floor repair. Don't forget to wd40 your rotors since they are new to get the shipping grease of them.

Its a crack house so would be a waste of money.

Nice buy, about time :punk

There is a local guy here with a nice one so I am going to copy all his parts selection.

Maybe even go for a ride with him and play ChiPS as we will have the same bike in the same color. I want to be Paunch.

hmmm there is something i dont understand is this your first bike and how much riding have you done prior. the reason i say this is why would a salesman say a gsxr1000 is the perfect first bike. :scratch a 600 would be a smarter start. but if you have plenty of experience then np. but for a first bike noooo not a 1000. just my thoughts. :burnout

Great choice of first bike sir. I can never understand it when people opt for an under powered 600/750 as a first bike when they will just tire of it in a few months time :burnout

Plus 5 hp for the wheel stripes :biggrin

Im sorry if i mistook this for his first bike but a salesman saying a perfect starter bike is a 1000 is a load of crap and as i said in my post if hes got the experience then its a perfect bike for him. which by the sound of it is what it is. but i see to many new riders on supersports my way who are young and ride like idiots and die doing so. ive been riding 30 damn years. And owned plenty of bikes. so a salesman trying to sell a 1000cc supersport to new riders is damn stupid. :banghead

You can just put the bike into limp mode and that's all, all new bikes have mode switches. Just don't forget to put it into rain mode and that's all, you're good to go, even if you virtually have no experience in riding.

Coming from someone who's on a 15 year old race bike...

that crushes newer models including 1000cc bikes....yes sir ;) it's not the bike...it's the rider. But fixing his crack house walls makes as much sense as having Ohlins everything on my 15 yr old race bike :lmao

true m8 i agree with that, but ill tell you this, down my way iv'e noticed a few who cant ride and there on litrebikes, now that's a problem. but if they are responsible and keep the bike in rain mode till there capable then fair enough but I've noticed that there are so many who misjudge there ability, Just look at youtube there's videos all over it. also there are many who are seriously irresponsible, especially young new riders. i admitt i was the same when i was young :p
Also we have a lot of bike deaths on our roads here at the moment, there's a big advertising campaign happening here to get them to understand. sorry for my if i'm coming across strong but i ride every. And have seen some silly things from other riders.
For example, here we have laws on wearing helmets, i noticed a fool on a litrebike during, not wearing a helmet or any other safety gear, in thick traffic during our holiday season with a lot of elderly drivers around who tend to come out in front of you here (its a retirement area and holiday spot here). A risk i wouldn't take myself. last thing we need here is more deaths in turn more policing which makes it less fun for the rest of us.

That all said, its a great bike for him and im hoping to upgrade myself soon to the 2012 gsxr1000 myself, nice to get backon a litrebike been a while since iv had one. still i like the 750 it has plenty of grunt. :burnout

I was tired of being left out.

I want to park it on corner entry and make everyone behind me take evasive action to avoid running in to me.

Then go super slow but when people try to pass me I will use the 1000 power to rocket down the straight and park it in the next corner all over again.

Hey fenix, re-read the first post a couple times. You'll find that it's all a JOKE. Chill out bro.

rraiderr, did the old bike cold start fine when the guy came to look at it? Did you ever solve that issue?

I replaced the ISC and the problem went away.

Not saying it is the fix but for my bike it worked.

nice rraidderr. sold the 08-750?

"The sales guy said this is a perfect starter bike".. ..
Grats on the new bike, just ride safe man, enjoy the skin you're in.

Yes a guy at the dealership I buy parts at made me an offer that was to good to pass up so I sold it.

I was not planning on selling it.

Nice bike; now you just gotta bring it my way and hit a track day or race with me. :thumbup

I would love to.

I just took it to the track last weekend.

Bone stock except for tires and brakes. No problem running up front of A group. Bike was very nice on the track, no surprises.

I have to say I am very impressed with this bike on the track.

You are making me want one. But im leaning towards the Aprilia RSV4-Factory for my next 1k.

You are making me want one. But im leaning towards the Aprilia RSV4-Factory for my next 1k.

The guy I track day with bought a 2012 RSV4 R this season.

He had a fully built gixxer 600.

The RSV4 feels like a 250 with liter bike power.

He was able to take 2nd place on a stock RSV4 on race rubber.

He has track dayed the piss out of it and 0 issues. The brakes are great out of the box and the TC works very well.

If I had the money I would have gotten te RSV4.

Damn, now i want one even more. :oogle

Prolly gonna have to pull the trigger.

I knew the thread title was just ball busting from the beginning.

But, my first bike was a brand new 05 Gixxer 1k.
If you understand physics, have some self control, and some experience with extreme performance toys, it IS possible to start on a 1k.
Just saying...... :)

i can post an rsv4 vs a gsxr1k stock for stock if you guys want my coworker just got one
i dont care for them. they are a little lacking, and heavy but look and sound good.
jason

Yes please.

They are only heavy on the scale. In other words, the slim design and mass centralization make them feel MUCH lighter than they are.

As far as power, yes...they are down on power compared to the ZX-10 and BMW. The RSV4 makes about 160-165ish stock. BUT, due to the engine characteristics, that power is very usable.

Not to mention they respond really well to mods. KWS built one to well over 200hp recently.

yes they did but it will make your wallet ALOT lighter (more so than a gsxr) i priced cams for it 2600, not counting the other items to make the compression higher. i will post as soon as i can.

Good luck getting replacement parts.

Bike is sick tho but lacking power out of box.

I went down two weeks ago at RA. Highsided coming out of T2 :(

Bike stayed on the left side and all damage is cosemtic. I walked away with a G2 concussion.

Sucks but the cre3w is planning up a MAM weekend next week so I am really looking forward to that.

You been to RA TJ?

Everyone who has learned how to ride and appreciate the 750 will miss it and no matter how much power the liter bikes make the 750 will always be the best combination IMO.
Rumours say Suzuki will totally revise the 750 and it could be my next bike.

Anyways didn't know you made the switch Dean........congrats to you on a great bike :cheers

LOL....need a new pair of pink slips :biggrin Seriously it's all cool. Guess TT C6 just likes his 1000 too much.....nothing wrong with that, but a lot of us has learned to appreciate the awesomeness of the power vs handling of the 750....

Agreed.

I wouldnt hesitate to even put my lil 600 against his "King".

Reading is fundamental.
I never said anything about MY speed or challenged anyone.

My point is the post that the 750 is the better bike over the 1000 is ridiculous.
That's my position and I am sticking with it.

Respecting your opinion. Each bike is good in it's own way, but I will always believe the 750 is the best combination of both worlds.....and I'm sticking with it :biggrin............:cheers

:stupid

It all depends on how you define "best". They are both great bikes and have their strengths.
