Duke Gone Hail The Gsxr
 

Well the duke has gone !

Picked up the Gsxr 750 K7 this morning :cool:


WOW what a pice of kit !:cool:

Luverly..............

but i would say that coz i've got one too,but with a slightly bigger engine.

So I bet yours didn't fall off it side stand and fecked every pannel on left side At 23 miles OLD :mad: :mad:


Does go well Tho and at 163kg it's bloody Light !!!

Sorry mate and all that but it could just as easy be a product bought from Comet. I'm sure it does a good job but so does a w**k.
:)

Oh ******!! sorry to hear that mate, hope the damage isn't too bad to the wallet. Get ready for all old Traitor, & Rice Burners are **** comments ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjoy, i'm sure you will.

nice, it'll never be iconic but looks a sjedload better than a 749/999 ... good choice.

Sounds like you should know.......

Stunning and THE best all-round GSXR IMHO...

Would you like your member name changing sire ;)

Frank

nice one Age:cool:

Thats a tad offensive, so I'm a w****r for suggesting a GSXR whatever the cc, wouldn't be as fulfilling as a you know what.
Of course, you could have forgot to put a smiley on your reply?

Looks good age, nice one. Im sure it rides and goes well too??

Err running it in ;) but yes the it does go well.

As for the jap ****gers I have had my Duke fix for now, I am sure i will have another one when they throw away the UGLY stick.

OI!!!! I HEARD THAT!:mad:

way you go AGE!
I'll keep dragging the boys around the Eifel on mine! untill i find the rite Duke again!

You wont fault it mate ! Enjoy..
mav

You do talk some s h i t e sometimes!

No its not!
It'll never replace the old slab sided GSXR or the Slingshot,...they were iconic bikes you know.Of course the new Gixxer was really the 1964 design for the MV.Suzuki should never sacked their designer Yoshimura san.What they should have done was fit twin headlights and under seat exhausts and keep the service costs down,then I would have bought one for deffo,....blah,blah,blah,bollox;)

what do you mean "sometimes" ??? i'm offended .... ;)

I've got a smiley face now.......

keefy keefy keefy <shakes head>

you really should get your bollux right, as anyone here will tell you (cos they are all old like you too;) ) that it all stems from the avid jealousy that the Norton Dominator caused amongst biking chums when it first came out ooooohh so many years ago.......

C, off to paint her nails:)

What one of them then,...hang on,I'll ask me dad!;) :lol:

Nice one Age
 

... sorry to hear about the off, heartbreaking :(

Off to see a K4 myself today so may join the fold ;)

Thought it would have been a come face...

Age 996

Know how you feel!

Age

Give us a report after 2/3,000 miles, you should have a good idea what they are like to own/ride by then.

Have been thinking about swopping the 996 for either the 750 or r1.

Very nice :) Rode a K5 a few times, really nice medium between the 600 and 1000. The only bike I'd have other than my ZX6 :)

Nice bike ;)

I have already left the fold and bought an 06 Blade in black :)

Got fed up waiting for ducati :(


Was hoping to go for the new 1200 in 07 , but iam not going to buy the stop gap 1099 !!!!!

Just speaking about this on yesterdays ride out. Best bikes if you couldn't buy a Ducati were reckoned to be a GSXR 750, a Trumpet 675 for hooning or a Moto Guzzi Griso for a lazy jaunt out for a pub lunch.

On the other hand....

I rode a Multistrada for the first time yesterday. In the real world, on real roads, do you really need more than 85-100 bhp delivered in a grunty, torquey way? I rode the Melton-Colsterworth road yesterday on my own and didn't see many other bikes, but there are two fireblades and an R6 riding in a group that know the answer to that one

Sentiments i can agree with...................

R1's rule, they are the choice of real riders.........as long as they are RED

Phil

WHAT !!!!! An R1 In Class B ???? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Somebody protest him quick ;)

we have decided that if you need a second bike a KTM is the way to go.... :D

:devil:

Shame its but fug ugly and wont keep up with anyone that knows how to ride a decent machine huh..............LOL

come on kids time to behave your selfs or it will be off to bed early with no pudding or a story

IMHO riding bikes shouldn't be about keeping up with the jones's
it's about enjoying the open road/ track
one mans meat etc
i am now in the enviable position of having two bikes at pretty different ends of the ducati spectrum and have previously owned Il4's
every thing i have riden i have enjoyed in differnt ways
my st2 is a big old bike with 80 odd bhp i think it's still the most enjoyable bike i've owned
the 749s on the other hand is probably the most exciting to ride
my old fzr600 has got to be akin to my first real love
even had a dragstar 650 for a while not quite sure what i can say about that but it did look very shiny
but what bike have i had the most fun on not sure but it's either my old ap50 or mbx 125, dont know what bhp they had though??

Nobody needs 100bhp+ by it feels bloody good when you've got it there to play with :D

... reminds me of the last Surrey ride-out with my GS :)


... and the next one on my Gixer :lol:

Good choice Henry, then I would say that :) are we going to see you on the Gixer in Normandy :devil:

I'm saying nothing ........................

That'll be a first :P

Still taking the BMW to Normandy Karl - it's perfect for the longer trips. The GSXR is for local blasts and trackdays :)
