New Bike: Gsxr1000r (the Gixxer Thread)

I do really like those! Not sure it’ll move with me on it though.

For the road though it would be ideal. Most stuff these days is wayyyy too fast. You don’t need loads of power to have fun.


The most fun I’ve ever had on a bike was trying to get my old 1960’s Bonnaville to get a move on I once broke down on it three times in two miles haha

I remember my first time riding a properly old bike. Gears on the wrong side, a box full of gears but anyone’s guess what you’d get. turned in like it was falling over. Had to start braking for a junction with about a miles notice. Kickstart kickback was good enough for a visit to a&e. Great fun

 

If I wasn’t currently completing on a house, I’d be interested perhaps in the r1. That and the blade urban tiger were my poster bikes as a lad.

 

oh stop it you ...

I very nearly accidentally purchased an sp-2 a few years back. My marriage was going down the toilet at the time.

probably should have got the bike in hindsight. Always liked those

 

git.


Off to classifieds I go

 

ahh yours is the newer r1. They were genuinely good bikes those. Didn’t sanders ride one round the world from memory ?

 

Don’t suppose you do amtico flooring or built in wardrobes as well by any chance
