New Bike: Gsxr1000r (the Gixxer Thread)

He had a heart attack, I was just walking past his garage and heard a bang, looked round and he was on the floor with his bike between his legs

 

Damn! Sad if true

Edit: didn't realise this was the Gixer guy. He has quite a following on FB. Popular guy in the fixer Essex world.

 

Christ. Poor bugger. Not nice...

 

I might have ordered a new GSXR lolz.

To celebrate putting diesel in my V4S...

Dedicated track bike, bosh.

I will blame everyone in this thread that helped me buy it....

 

Don't get the black one.

 

Nice

Funny celebration

Good

nothing to do with moi.

 

Why do I fail to find the deal's? Where is the deal???

 

Powerslide Motorcycles. Up Norf.

 

I think powerslide is next door to ducati Stoke if I remember correctly

 

Too late. H1 has finished now, dealers have 3m before they worry about the next deal

 

H1?

 

End of first half of year (H1). Dealers work to quarterly targets (Q1, Q2 etc) and best deals traditionally end of every quarter as they try and hit target for manufacturers bonus payment. not sure normal rules apply now though.

 

What's better for track, new GSXR1000 or new blabe? Or does it depend if it's the R/SP model?

 

My 2 pence. Even if someone was absolutely rolling in it, 25k for the new blade is in my opinion verging on hilarious.

Could get a new s1000rr and with the 6k change afford maybe 2 or 3 days food at the track instead of bringing a pack lunch.

 

you may as well run your old blade against the new gixer: will be as outclassed

 

Jesus

 

This is correct

 

They do do new blades about £99 a month last couple of winters. Is the base blade worse then the base gixxer?

 

I think, unless your capable of using more than 95%of a sports bikes capabilities, just buy the colour you like.. They're all brilliant. I've got a gsxr1000r, and love it, you won't go wrong with it, or a blade

 

Thats what l was thinking, unless you can ride a bike to 97%+ then the bike is better than the rider.
