hope to own a gsxr 1300 by than ^_^

Don't do it......I used to have a GSXR years ago and almost killed myself when an 81 year old female in her Datsun 1600 wiped me out.......too much power for 2 wheels anyway.

If I hit a car with my current 2 wheel steel horse, it'll just push the car out of the way, unlike the lightweight GSXR.

i thought the sled would slice through the car instead :P

don't usually like those sorts of bikes but that 1s tough :spank:

is the bike quicker than the GTR?

Haven't had either very long yet so I'm not sure.

I've never really hammered either of them yet apart from a few short bursts here or there.

Bike's got a 100ci (approx 1630cc) engine. Unlike the high revving Jap bikes, its more of a torque monster and alot heavier than them.

judging by the seating position on the bike, sustained high speeds would tax ur arms somewhat cos u'd sit up and effectively be a parachute... could prove hard to hang on. Don't have farings (spelling?) to hide from the wind. no doubt that tourqe monster would have a whole bunch of get up n go, accelerating at an alarming rate would be no hassle :)

just my 2c

Yeh Carl, ur pretty much on the money there. The bike was designed to be a show bike and a weekend cruiser so it's not goin to do a 1/4 mile in 10 seconds......having said that, it's torque that gets you across the lights and this metal monster has plenty of that.....it'll tear up bitumen with that big rear!

And ur right, that seat height is low......about 6 or 7 inches lower than the lowest Harley including the FXDL Dyna Low Rider.

yeah Pete, designed as a show bike but no doubt it hauls ass

i reckon it would leave me sitting at the lights scratching my head :)

for 1600odd cc's that'd have huge torque for what about 200odd kilo..... my old man has a Vulcan VN1500, a Harley lookalike basically, thats a 1500cc and a fairly quick bike for 300plus kilo!

Not bad at all for a water cooled.......would be a great cruiser on a long run.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
