I was on my way back from test driving a fo-do-crapbox (it gets rainy in florida) and I rev'd a little turning RIGHT at a gixxer.
I did a 6 check later and noticed him tailing.
At the next light he came alongside and said: " I know what that is, and I NEED it for my wife to learn on! Sell it to me! "
Anyone that noticed the thread about a local shop almost killing me knows I won't consider selling it for a while.
Stopped for a while at a gas station and he looked it over, while I 'tested' his for my 6'4" frame. He was seriousely going to go inside to the ATM if I said yes.
He said when he heard it, he KNEW what bike it was and almost got creamed trying to get around the intersection traffic to catch me.
Man, for a simple carburated 500cc, this thing generates alot of interest.
Yes, the gixxer's exhaust note was a nasty nasty thing. Yes, it should be banned from all roadways. Yes, it makes rediculous power.
er, can I have it mommy ?

Yeah but only by people who want to buy them for thier wives :laugh:
Yeah, my friend suggested that we trade bikes for a while once I get mine all straightended out so that his GF can learn to ride.

I had a guy on a GSXR600 offer to buy mine to use as a daily rider to keep the miles off the GSXR. I told him $2k. We traded numbers he said he'd think about it. I offered to straight up trade and I'd take over payments on the GSXR, he didn't like that idea too much :laugh: :laugh:
Thats funny.
All day long on message boards (not this one) I see people saying "Start on a 600/1000/750 bike or else you'll get bored with a 250/500!!!"...... *until* its their girlfriend or their sister that is learning to ride.
Then its all: "WTB a used 250/500 for gf"
Heh-heh.
If The gs , It Used In The Hands Of A Good Rider , Then If Your Just Abusing SpeedLimits A Lil , You Can Out Do Alot ,
Its Very Nippy , Me Thinks
