    I have an 01 Gsxr 750. My brother bought the bike brand new back then. He passed away unexpectedly back in 2007 at the age of 27. I will never part with that bike.

    It's nice to see my old Gsxr1000K2 still in action.
    One fairing lower was a bit dodgy but it only had around 10k miles on it when i sold it to Regal Superbikes.
    If you want any further pics of it, gimme a shout👌

    • @FortyFourTeeth
      @FortyFourTeeth  9 месяцев назад +13

      so was James right about the touch down? 😅

    • @williambrown6080
      @williambrown6080 9 месяцев назад +29

      @FortyFourTeeth i never dropped it under my ownership but i'm certain the right side fairing panel had been repainted, badly.
      I bought the bike over the internet as i had a L3 millionth edition, a k4, an L7 RR and a k5 so it was part of my collection.
      Bike ran sweet as a nut. I'm the guilty party with the coppaslip on the rear of the pads though as there were no anti-squeal shims. I know what James was saying but the pistons come in contact with the rear of the pads and metal to metal with even a tiny amount of lateral movement does squeal.
      Stunning bike though Chris and they are going up the way in value.
      With that mileage, it's at least a £4k bike, maybe more.

    I had this exact bike, same colours inc black wheels. It was life changing for me. Owned it for a decade, (it’s the bike in my avatar). Best bike I ever owned. Did all the Yoshi mods (cams, full exhaust, Powercube), then went nuts and full internals. Ohlins, and big Brembos. Loved this bike.

    "Changed bikes as we know it this did."
    Very pleased to hear that. The original R1 gets the litre sportsbike plaudits, but for me this is far more significant.

    • @Albertalorian
      @Albertalorian 9 месяцев назад +1

      Like James said, these were EFI and could turn. The R1 was fast, but it was wide and heavy at the time. I remember these ruled local provincial superbike 2001-2004 until the ZX10R showed up.

    Beautiful looking bike that so deserves the love lads, awesome work and copper grease advice!
    I’ve got a K2, fuel filter in tank needed replacing symptoms irrational running, stripped and rebuilt callipers with new SS pistons, Brembo pads, Googridge braided lines and it was awesome once more. I didn’t need new discs but would prefer to have gold carriers!
    Rear mud guard had been butchered as had the subframe luggage hooks, luckily new and used parts were cheap at the time.
    Later I replaced the suspension with Maxton GP 10 rear shock and fork internals. ❤😊

    I used to have big sport bikes in the 80s and 90s . I had a GPZ 600 and 900 and then a slabby gsxr1100 but the bike that changed it for me was my 1999 kawasaki zx9rC2. It was a dream compared to the B model and miles more comfy than that years fireplace which to be fair was a better track bike. I still have my C2 and don't think I'll ever part with it 👍👍

    I had simular running issues with my R1 that did my head in for ages.
    It was the injectors clogged by old fuel.
    I emptied the petrol tank and filled it with shell v power along with a bottle of moto power 1 injector cleaner and it went away completely!

    Dear God... at last someone with an authorized opinion settles the Copper Grease nonsense down .. Thanks for that Mr James Holland, and thanks to BVG for getting the attention to that.
    p.s. These 6 pot calipers, with those very long brake pads, have a tendency to develop a groove or some other word for it, where the pad rests (lower side of the caliper, next to the lower/smaller piston). The rear, single piston Tokicos come from Factory (at least in my zx6r J series) with a Metal Clip that should prevent this, but most people I've seen never cares to make sure that clip is installed.
