Getting borred of my gixxer 600 after 4 months lol

[Yarri]

Only had my gixxer for 5 months after having Honda NSR 125 for 2 years and now it feels like i have done it all, it goes fast, looks good, sounds well but still feels normal and exitement factor is decreasing

Thinking of VTR 1000 SP1/SP2 or R1 after my insurance runs out on christmas ... or maybe i should get a shitty corsa and pay for insurance double of what i paid for my bike due to me being 19 ?

You must not be riding it right

[D O G]

He isn't - he likes hogging right hand lanes.

Yeah, get yourself an R1, you will have something to brag about and pose on, since it is clearly not the challenge of riding you are into.

So yeah, go for it.

[Kwaks]

Obviously not riding it anywhere near its capabilities.


Added to the fact that Gixxers cannot be passed on until the owner has taken at least 2500 pics of it, thats just the law

Sounds like you need to go on a trackday with your bike so you can realise how far you still have to go, or a California Superbike School day. The bike won't provide you with the entertainment you're expecting - that's something you have to learn to do yourself.

Throw it this way.

Agreed with Geri, go do a track day or something on it and your love for the GSXR600 will resurface.

Well it sounds like there is something wrong with the bike. Give it to me, I'll take it off of your hands for nothing. I know, I know don't thank me - I'm a generous sort of a guy.

I'd suggest from your post that you're a straight line hero. Go and do some corners and you'll understand more.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I don't get it, I've got my shagged ZXR with a list of issues on it as long as your arm.

Had it a year and commute daily on it and everyday I wake I look forward to riding it even on the normal commute.

GSXR perhaps too good? too perfect?
Bike has to have flaws as that gives it character. You then start to have connection with it and start exploring the bike and your skill.

My views anyway.

Wait, so you've ridden it over winter and decided you've done all it can do?

It's funny how people get 'bored' of bikes so quickly. I'm assuming that your bike isn't restricted.

Out-right speed isn't exciting per se -a 747 at 30,000 feet isn't particularly exciting, nor is a car at 150 on a highway.

Admittedly, I wanted to upgrade from my ER5, but that was more because of its overall condition. I knew that a better rider could have got more from it. Read some books and watch some videos on riding technique.

If the only criterion for a bike's enjoyment is straight-line oomph, then even the fastest bike in the world will seem normal after a short while.

Harnessing,making use of the vehicle's abilities/deficiencies and attempting to master it is where the enjoyment comes from.

if your interested, i might do a swap with my 2004 r1, got spare motor, track fairings with originals, WOWs and a couple of extras.

PM me if your interested.

[ajb]

As above, there's a lot more than just speed. If you can't enjoy riding a bike for all of it's character, then every bike will be disappointing.

PS: I think you just got 0wned.
