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.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
