The GSXR 600,750 & 1000 Hangout. Where All GSXR Riders Chill And Gather!!

[EvilGixxer]

genez you work at Insead?

 

Nope! I work in the aviation industry.

[RedGixxer688]

Leo Vince, GPR, Yoshimura, Arrow, Remus(Nt so sure), Akrapovic, Micron..

 

Basically from what i heard from shops, inorder for LTa to approve a exhaust, they will take 1 as a sample to open up to examine and such before they would allow the rest to be street legal..

 

This pt i cant be 100% sure, best is to call LTA to check on the actual procedure..

 

Thanks for the reply bro. I'm thinking of getting from overseas. If not passed, still ok cos most likely can use for track.

[shaunz]

other than the cc difference

 

pros

haha great observation... but to some extend.. i have to agree with dr shaun.. its 'sad' but true

[Xihong]

HAHA.. i like u shaun.. ah lian only know 3 bikes.. thats kinda true.. btw R1 fuel efficiency, it eat more petrol compare to R6 right? which bike causes more problems and harder to maintance?

[slowpoke]

wah..throw so many 50 cents..

throw into my piggy bank la..

 

and reading that last line about quitting forum with a silly angel icon.. damn bloody funny..haha..

 

 

hmm..why single me out sia? if ask me.. i will say i rather have power that i CANNOT utilise than one day be hungrier for more power. ever since i got my 2b aprilia when i started riding out and having seriously RESTRICTED power, i told myself then..that its better to have unlimited power!! just like power rangers!! so my choice will be r1 although the r6 is too powerful indeed.. but

r1 MORE unutilised power.

 

yup yup.. tats so true.. for r6.. its also a powerful bike.. but the power comes only like 8k rpm.. thats not so road friendly... but will be great for track.. so u must see wats ur purpose of buyin this bike before you choose a bike.. so hey gucci.. when kopi?

maybe u wanna try find a gd k4/k5/k6? if u still interested in suzuki, if the 8 is abit pricey. Older doesn't mean not gd

 

tho, it's not easy to find k5/k6 these days...they are fast sweeped.

[Xihong]

Oh iC.. wa comes only after 8K RPM.. thats really slow and road unfriendly. I heard that R1 full tank can only last for like 240km? eat alot of petrol if its true.. for me i definitely wont go for track, but i want the power. only worry is the cost of maintanance and petrol. But in normal road is R6 powerful below 8K rpm? R1 i think its powerful of course.

very hard to advise u bro..

1. u want power..

2. but u worry of maintenance cost..

3. and u want good FC..

 

pls consider wisely bro..

this 3 dun mix well with a cl2 sportbike..

 

Additional stuff to consider; tyres, engine oil, bling blings, performance mods, 'impromptu' stuff eg. thefts, buang etc.

esp. insurance and roadtax which every yr u have to fork out..

fyi, insurance for brand new r1 is at 1.7k to 1.9k if ur below 25..

r6 would be in the 1k region..

 

Facts:

my old r1 2005.. full tank ran 302km before it's totally dry and i had to piggyback it to the petrol station..

240km before reserve..

reserve ran 62km..

can't be said if go up thailand though..

iirc, 299 all the way.. 140-160km the reserve light on already

 

i'm now riding a 600 but not an r6..

FC wise can't compare to the r1.. 18l around 240-250km i think

600cc bikes are meant to be high rev machines..

if u like corners.. get the r6..

u can attack corners faster and at higher gears instead of being stranded in 2nd..

if ur a power freak, get the r1..

 

yet to test my 600 limit..

but i've ridden my friend's buffed up zx636 and that could hit 293

previous r1 05 meter hit 299.. zx12 clocked at 315km/hr..

 

maintenance wise..

damn i just realized yamaha parts are cheaper..

 

deciding bro..

 

PS: 600 slow & unfriendly on SG roads i think not..

[kambing]

k gd nite.. time for me to koonz..

damn body clock all messed up..

[Calvinz]

ya... cant resist....My fav colour
