Bike Deal
« 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

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

954 was a cool bike for its day but its not its day any more... setup up to the gsxr. maybe a smaller maotor but its lighter and will handel MUCH better.

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

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.
