Posted: 14:02 - 17 Jan 2015 Post subject: Its going to be a long week... GSXR 1000 k6 Update |
|
|
Everything is in place for next Saturday when i should be collecting this:

(Photo from dealer website)
For those that cant tell, its the K6 1000 GSXR.
Finance (mostly just so i can improve my rating) is aprooved, signed and documents sent back.
Insurance has been notified, changed the policy from the now sold VTR from TPFT to fully comp with 5 months remaining for an extra £300. Would have worked out about the same as a new policy but as i currently have 0 NCB the quotes i have done drop considerably once i have acchived a year. (£680 fully comp with 0 NCB and £1k excess drops to £250 fully comp with £500 excess with 1 year NCB!).
Shoppings list of bits so far includes tail tidy, shorty leavers and a new exhaust...
Little bit excited... ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk

Nice one Adam!
Was it about 10 years ago both of us bought the same bikes at around about the same time. A decade later, we buy cracking superbikes at around about the same time too!
Shame you didn't maintain your NCBs, else your insurance would be silly low ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

Unsure on what exhaust as yet. Im happy to spend around £200 new or used on one. Ive seen a couple on ebay but im not 100 percent as yet;
250mm Pipewerx carbox GP3 £190 on the website doesnt seem too bad, but we shall see...

It will be 10 years in October that i passed my test and bought that ZXR! Shame ive had a few years off recently and havnt been able to maintain my NCB, hopefully this one is here to stay a while and i can get some long trips under my belt in the summer!
Very nice R1 though Tot! The dealer had a blue R1 on a 08 plate, its was a grand more though and had nearly 30k miles.
The GSXR fits me really well though, 6 more sleeps... ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

Sitting here all impatient waiting for the woman to hurry up and get ready so I can go and pick it up!
Been up since 6
only my tail tidy and smaller numberplate have arrived thus far. Levers are on order (ddidn't get shorty ones in the end). Bought some new leathers so the exhaust had to wait a little bit... ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

Yeah,
It's annoying when your mods all arrive, with nothing to put them on to! R&Gs, HIDs, Stompgrips, DB Screen & Levers and still no bike! ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

Or parts + bike in garage, but still in a cast for another 3 weeks! At least distance, you have an excuse not to ride it. Being physically no less than 3 metres apart from my bike and knowing I can't ride it will be a bummer ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

Like I said, the only real choice for 1000cc sports. Nothing compares
Good choice, unsure on exhaust options but I liked the not too abusive but nice burble tri oval yoshi |

Eventually went and picked her up. I've never ridden something so damn good!
It was a gentle ride home in the cold but the sun was shining and the road was drying in places. Opened her up a few times and each time I looked down I couldn't believe how quick it got to...erm 60...
Really happy and pleased with the dealer, nice guys who certainly wasn't out to rip me off. They mot'ed her, serviced and stamped in the book, replaced the bar ends as one was missing, put half a tank of fuel in and took her to a suzuki garage (bought from a bmw garage) and got her remapped for the standard exhaust again.
tail tidy has been fitted but was dark by then. The noise from the exhaust is actually pretty good when riding so next on the list is to get the wheels re painted as the job was done poorly and let's the bike down close up.
She also came with a meta357v2 alarm which is nice if it does anything with my insurance...
Just the one picture for now...

Looks a fine example need to get a ride of a K5/6 to see how they compare to the K1 I rode which was by no means a disappointment.
Got the same anxious wait myself till this Friday ____________________ Current: 02 FZS 1000 Some Bike Pics...

Place down here, £100 for 2 wheels in a normal colour, but you'll be wanting something rather tasty, pink and green would work.
Bear in mind new bearings required etc. |
