GSXR 750

[Richard Green]

Got to wait now and its killing me the deposit is down and the wait is on , got to wait for it to go through the shop garage , as it was taken in as a part chop only done 3500 miles from new 70 miles since last service .
Part chopped for a quad as his wife didnt like him having it and he said it was just too fast .
So am i doing the right thing having this as my first bike ???????
Dam right i am

It has a face like Wallace and Grommit, man they're making GiXERS ugly nowdays. That aside, its a stonling piece of kit, would love the 750 or thou.

Ride safe

its a brilliant bike, its not a bad first bike, and has enough power to keep you entertained.

Wonder if you can U turn that as well as the ER! Hee!!

Well nice bike, I am waiting to find me an SV or Hornet off to Huddersfield on Sat to have a look at some

Once you have it if I am up near you some time will race ya, (yeah i know you will win) and call for a lovely fry up at that little cafe Eddie goes too near Rhuddlan roundabout.

well if you can why not!

Respect it though mate. I got my gsxr 600 as a first bike and thought i had big billy balls and then promptly stacked it so be careful. They bite harder and faster than you can blink, no exaggeration necessary.

Whether you are doing the right thing or the wrong thing, what is certain is that you'll be looking for something a bit more comfortable in the near future....

Looks great!,Ride safe!

[geordiecbrblo...]

Looks gorgeous matey - very nice indeed!

First bike? Nutter!!!!! But life isn't always about doing the sensible thing - I'm sure the bike will take your breath away when you take it to the redline, so please be careful

Keep it shiny side up and let us know how you get on with her

All the best,
Paul

[treesey200]

Nice bike mate!!!
Be careful and enjoy!

[Richard Green]

Thank you all for your replies even the wallace and grommet , the colour scheme is as i was told by the dealer a limited addition , quite like it as it is different from the standard blue and white .

[TJenkos]

Looks lovely! How old are you? As dangerous as it may be, that is one cool first bike!

[Richard Green]

The insurance isnt bad at all , £458 good for a first bike mind you being an old codger at 38 it could be classed as expensive , initially i looked at the GSXR 1000 but i didnt fancy the £1500 price tag on the insurance , rip off merchants .

[Keir]

out of curiosity do you have any riding experience?

Lovely bike mate. I picked up my Y model 750 about 6 weeks ago (have a look further down for the thread).

It's my 4th road bike. Been riding over 3 years on the road.

Just be fucking careful - it could chew you up and spit you off very easy.

I would not recommend it as a first bike - I've worked up from an NSR125, ER-5, ZZR600 so I've gained enough experience on smaller bikes to enable me to enjoy the Gixer and push it harder than you will be able to (at least for a while).

Good thing is the handling is amazing, brakes superb (I have new wavey discs and racing pads with Goodridge hoses though).

Please just take it easy - it's a great looking bike, like the paint scheme

Treat it with respect (especially in the wet - it'll still spin the rear in 4th gear!) and it'll reward you once you become a more competent rider.

I do have a little riding experience yes .
I was in my younger years in a motorcycle stunt team (red macs ) , i also had a little DT 50 , followed by an MTX 125 , these were the only road bikes i had legally , but i also raod the old 250 7UP .
Then there was a gap of around ten years and then i bought myself an RM250 and that had some torque on that ( full race spec), tried my hand in a few races but never took it up seriously .
BUT IVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING ON A PAR TO THE GIXER AND IM SURE I WILL LEARN VERY QUICKLY TO TREAT IT WITH RESPECT .
Richard
