GSXR1000k1 just had a go!

[woo]

I had a go on my mates gsxr1000 k1!!

Never again the damn thing is way too powerful!!

I think for now im gonna stick to my 600s!

His damn bike wheelies in third gear from just wacking the throttle open, i cant handle such power so soon frigging heck, i was glad to get the hell off it!!

I admire those who ride litre sports bikes and can throw them about like a toy, cos i bloody well wont dream of it!!

Cant wait till i get my gsxr750 k4 next year!!

Heres the culprit!!

The picture was taken using a nokia 6630.

I was looking into getting a litre bike in the next two years. But I really dont think I could use all that power on the road in saying that I shouldnt really be using all the power of my 600 on the road

The new 04' and 05' ones that are out have between 150 bhp and 164 bhp!!! thats just mental

Wicked pic considering it's done on a phone!
If you think that the Gixxer's fast you should try a Busa tho mate

[woo]

Its like as soon as you open the throttle on his bike the bike wants to reach for the sky.

I really wanted an 04 R1 next year because i like the way it looks, but i cant get it now because its just way too much power with no room for error!

Much too focused. I love having the power but also want to be able to do 300 mile in relative comfort and not stopping to fill the tank every 30 mins.
And if I squirt the throttle I want to go forward very very fast not up. So it'll always be nice long powerful sports tourers for me.

Next bike I get I just want more torque. My mate has a 916 and an 04 ZX-10R and he can sit in top gear all day and pass things at will. Whereas me and another mate, both on 600s, me on a Fazer and him on a ZX6R have to drop two gears and rev the tits of the things to do the same passes.


Me wants grunt not masses of power.

Throttle works both ways

I even miss the extra torque my old 750 gave over the 600, Even though the Dyno BHP was the same, Extra torque just fel slightly better

Hehe sounds like fun, i tried a Trophy 900, less power than a 600 but nice torque for what it is and that just went, i would love to try a 600 then 1000 just for the grin factor!

Torque is almost always what counts. Speed doesn't give you thrills other than trying to assimilate all the information flying past you. Acceleration and g forces are what gives you thrills. Torque is what accelerates you. The engine spinning quickly is all very well and good, but that just means the same punch faster rather than a larger punch. (I know I'm preaching to the choir).

Not that I've had much of any of those on my bike, but I can imagine the same is applicable from flying.

Talking of torque (no pun intended) I have a hankering for an GSX1400. Sitting on my mates today. Like it.

[JonB]

My Bandit is powerful enough for me in top gear right now.

Ere Adam, sounds to me like you need a CBR1000RR.

[BLOFLY 636]

thats why I am interested in a BMW R1200GS with raw stump pulling Torque and nice punch off the line similar to how a Ducati 1000S Monster feels!

My bike hits the top of it's torque curve at 7000 revs. At this point it's a matter of holding on and keeping your weight forward. But the Bird has quite a flat torque curve compared to some bikes so there's no real surprises. I would hate to have shit loads of torque come in when your not expecting it. Even with the Bird I've had times when you suddenly need to go from acceleration to braking and all that momentum takes some controling.
