Title: Bike Deal
Post by: sfa22r on March 27, 2010, 02:04:28 AM
Had to jump on another bike.  $3k for an 05 GSXR 750 w/ 13k miles.  Full yosh exhaust and some other bits and pieces.  Never been down, and it's been babied it's whole life.  So now I gotta decide between it or the 954RR.  Halp.

2005 Suzuki GSX-R 750
Full Yoshimura Exhaust
Integrated Tail Signals
Flushmount Turn Signals
13k miles, never down, babied by a nice chica

or

2003 Honda 954RR
Galfer Wave Rotors
Galfer -2 SS brake line up front
Vesrah XX Pads F/R
Ohlins R&T forks
Ohlins Rear shock
F/R Suspension setup by Dan Kyle
Protech Diamond Grips
CRG Shorty Levers
HRC Covers
Scotts Damper
Greggs Flushmount Signals/Integrated Tail
Corbin Seat
LP Frame Sliders
BMC Race Air Filter
Factory Pro Velocity Stacks
Tech-G Adjustable Rearsets (GP Shift currently)
Flapper Mod
Haas Servo Eliminator
MIG Undertail Exhaust (1 year limited production)
PCIII/Custom Dyno Tune (Needs a new one)
DID/EV3 520 Chain -1/+2 Sprockets
Pilot Power 2CT Tires
12k Miles on motor, 36k on frame, and it's been down a handful of times and repaired.

The 954RR was about $1500 more than the 750.  So, what say ye of little faith

Trust me, the Suzuki lived a pampered life, I know the full history of both bikes from pretty much new.

Ride em both and keep what you are more comfortable on.  I went from an 02 Yamaha R6 to a 05 GSXR600 because it was newer and I assumed it would be better.  The R6 seemed to have more torque and was more comfortable for me.  Sold the Suzuki last summer for a bit of profit and am on the lookout for a nice 1st gen R6 on the cheap.

You stole the gsxr, I'd be tempted to sell it and make a couple thousand, but the 750 is a great bike.

Yeah, I'm real tempted.  But it's a newer, nicer overall bike for what it is.  May just sell the CBR and throw some money at the 750

There's a sweet deal on a 954 in the FS forum.

Just the frame.  Not such a sweet deal.

I wish I could find bikes that new, with such low miles, that were babied, for that price down here...

I wish I could find them consistently.  I flipped both for a decent profit yesterday.  Never even saw either bike after I bought them :)

Picked up an 05 ZX6R with 6700 miles, ported head, cams, yosh exhaust, track and street plastics, just needs some Ohlins to be ready to rumble.  Assuming JD is a helpful soul.
