I picked it up yesterday. It's a black & yellow 2005 GSXR1000. I'll post better pics later, my cell phone sucks. Maybe I'll ride it if it ever stops raining.

Hell yeah, nice man. I wanted to find a 600, but I can't afford it nor trust myself enough to ride one...yet.

Sweet bike! Silver and black?

Nice bike, even if it's the bumble bee...

hope you plan on ditching those ugly ass exhaust cans too, suzuki really f'ed up on those.

nice bike man. :)

not sure what they were thinking.

nice bike dude, sure wish i could even afford a 600 :cry

I really want to move up to a higher cc, but I don't want to part from the R6. Ridden all the 600's and the yamaha is by far the best imo. I just want the higher cc because of the torque. I can either sell mine right now for 5k and get one or wait until next year and get a brand new one and keep this to stunt on. Choices.

I was always a yamaha rider until I got my busa (FJ600, FZR600, 97 YZF1000R). You'll notice there's an 04 gsxr 600 sitting next to my bike, which is my wife's. I doubt I'll buy anything else unless suzuki really messes something up.

Yeah, I have no idea what's up with that ugly ass can. It's such an eye sore to me. I'm trying to get my hands on a high-mount slip on from either leo vince, TiForce, or Yosh.

V, Try out the 04/05 GSXR750. It's claimed to only have 9 HP less than the 03/04 GSXR1000, but 20 peak ft lbs of torque less. Supposedly, the low end grunt is similar, but the 1k just has more in the higher R's.

2004 Yamaha R6 = 123 hp & 50 ft lbs
2004 gsxr-750 = 155 hp & 63 ft lbs
2004 gsxr-1000 = 164 hp & 83 ft lbs

I dunno what year you have, but I used the 04 for comparing the others. Depending on how this bike feels on the track, I may sell it to get an 06 gsxr-750, but only time will tell.
