When I was a kid a group of guys used to wheelie gsxrs and r6s like this through my neighborhood. Those were the coolest guys on the planet to my friends and I
It's a good skill
This feels like gixxer got his dream bike the way he talks about it and rides it, so congratulations bruh it’s a beautiful bike.
If you do a build series I think you can get a lot of traffic. That’s something I’d definitely want to see.
Sure are alot of winners
😂 almost like it’s a scam or something 😂 see how he keeps changing the name too because after reporting him after so long he loses the channel and has to rename it.
@@Gixxerbrah Gizzerbrah🤣
Love this video hated that I got scammed. Downloaded that Telegram crap and everything but not silly enough to share any important info. Should have known it wasn't you Brah! 🫠🖤🏍️💨
For sure. Who gets into bikes without getting into wanting to build them.....
My k6 gixxer 1000 has been sitting in the garage for years. This video has motivated me to get back on the saddle.
Suzuki sells adrenalin. Ducati sells beauty. Kawi sells precision. Yamaha sells fun. The rest are just other choices of the same.
Honda sells quality. Harley devidson sells big ol' murican patriotism.
@@headhunter531 ever changed a spark plug on a Honda 😂
@user4269 true
@user4269 i know. 😂
Damn... I thought they sold motorcycles
Any well maintained 17 or so year old bike really isn't that old. 03-09 is the best era of bikes honestly.
Edit* 03-09 is the best era for sportbikes***
Maybe for Sportbikes. But for Enduros/Dualsports/Adv Bikes (a Term that wasn't that common in that Time :D) it was pure Hell.
And apart from Sportbikes, horrible roundish plastic "future" y2k Designs.
@Kapitaenosavrvs you're 110% right. Those dirt bike wild west days of the 80s-99 were insane! Too bad I only caught the tail end of that era..
Yup you're def right. My first bike was an 04 cbr f4i , gawwd that thing was so much fun
To this day nothing looks as good as a K4 to me.
Agree my 2003 r6 was the best bike i ever had. I own bmw ans aprilia now but plan to add an r6 back to the collection
I just bought an '07 GSXR 750. It's in pristine condition and fast as hell. I absolutely love it. Much faster than I need to be and SOOOOO smooth.
That's why I love my 05 CBR 1000rr because it's just so raw and there's nothing holding the bike back except for the rider, I'm glad I bought an older bike! I really want to buy an older GSXR now.
I have a k6 since 2006 and can't get rid of it for all the things you mentioned. Look forward to the build.
Early 2000 Gsxr1000 are just unbelievable bikes, way ahead of the curve then and still a major competitor today
I'm not a jealous man by nature, but I gotta' say that I'm envious of having the skills to justify owning/riding one of the baddest sport bikes in history. ...If you can legitimately ride a ZX-11, CBR 954, original gen R1, ZX10, and an '08 GSX-R, you wear the crown. Good work 🤛
;)
I had an 04 R1 and currently have a 06 z1000. Those early 2000s bikes are a whole different beast than modern liter bikes! The z1 is such a unique experience ill buy other bikes but ill never get rid of that one.
@@xprox4185 if by different u mean slower then yes.
@@Adrenalean767 🤣 theirs always gonna be something faster my friend. Sometimes thats not what's important.
@@xprox4185 sure thing brother
I got a 99 r1 love it nothing bad about the old bikes still ride strong and fun
My friend use to have a 99 R1 with full race exhaust, till today my favorite sounding bike.
Glad to see you back on a GSX-R
me too. one of my fav videos is the trip to colorado on the old gixxer.
Literally bought a pristine 04 Yamaha R1 a month ago and I love it. 18 year old bike. 13k miles. But it was my dream bike when I was younger. Already been modding the shit out of it!
it is at least 130k miles
I use to have the 06 in blue and white. Gorgeous bike and my favorite for a long time.
K6 1000 is a legend of a bike always will be 📦✅👍
Congrats.
Very beautiful motorcycle.
Most of the bikes you thrash are much younger with far less miles.
Please go through this thing and make sure the engine and oil seals are up to your standards.
Last place you want an 17 years old oil seal to blow out is going 200 miles per hour.
You might want to check the cam chain and chain guides for slop too
I see what you are saying about the gearing.
It looks like the bike is geared more for interstate cruising not acceleration.
I saw it being just a little slower then the bikes you regularly thrash off the line but damn, not by much.
New chain and sprockets gives you a definite idea when they were installed and the quality of those parts too.
Someone else in the comments section says they think the steering head bolt is not aligned right so it's a fun fest of getting things on this bike up your Gixer brah standards.
Gotta check the grease in the 17 year old wheel bearings too.
You put your life on the line and nothing can be left to chance.
I look forward to the video where you show off the new brakes.
I will miss you riding the smaller bikes because you sure rode them like you were running through traffic in your track shoes at 180 miles per hour.
Congrats Gixer , on your new classic rocket ship.
Enjoy.
I’ve had my K5 1000 for 5 years. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Never selling it. Great video brah 👍
You ever go down on a black man?
Heyy braaahs. Old bikes are where it's at, my 01 TL1000 still kickin ass
This is hilarious, I just bought a gsxr 1000 2006 yesterday. It’s my first sports bike, super excited 😁
Are you still alive?
Are you still alive?
@@zain786ificationBro ded 😭😭😭
Gixxer riders don’t die, they teleport
Ive had 4 Gixxers . The K5 was the best one and still my favorite . Theres a reason why it got the nick name Godzilla and that reason is cause nothing compared to it . Even today its still a top contender . Good choice my friend.
'04 - '05 ZX10R just entered the room... Hold my 🍺
@@bacchusthompson5834 jeeze thats funny the fastest zx10 ive seen was being towed by a GSXR . Need i say more hahaha
@@ll-nz3qn I personally haven't seen that 🤷🏾♂️
05-06 gsxr1000 is the definition of Supersport. I ride a street triple but man those liter bikes are tempting.
Just bought a k6 and love it…
Far better than the modern machines
I have a 2016. Last of the no nany gsxr 1000. It is pretty. It is fast. I geared mine with 3 teeth to the rear. It does a GPS correct speed of 155mph. It doesn't take long to get there. It wheelies in third. At 60mph in 2nd gear it wheelies from there to over 100mph. It is amazing.
I bought a K6 1000 a month ago, literally has been my favorite bike out of the 8 I've owned, the RAW power, the look, the feel of it is perfect to me, can't wait for the footage to come!! 🔥
@@rudeboy7542 $6k with 14k miles
This is why we buy older motorcycles! no emissions no throttle bodies only the rider is holding this bike back or wide open it’s your choice
I would think a 20 year old GSXR that’s in good mechanical shape and available on the cheap is absolutely a no brainer.
Bought a K6 new and rode it in the Isle of Man for 10 years to me the only place the bike can actually be used, mods were carbon wheels (turns like a 600, improves brakes and acceleration) and a quick action throttle because half the time the only thing holding the bike back is the riders ability to open the throttle quick enough (Yamaha R1 throttle tube fits and works). Such a stable machine, dynoed at 162 BHP. Do you know these things can hit top speed (limited 189mph) in 20 seconds from a standing start and only weigh 162kg (in my case wet due to the wheels) and this is a relativity long stroke motor so pulls real hard mid range and its that mid range that dominates on the road also BMW bench marked their RR1000 on the K5 4 years after it came out!
Got a gsxr750.almost 4 yrs now ..still loving it..155 is fast enough for me. The 1000 is a rocket ,violently fasssst..bike just wanna throw u in a ditch..K5 imo is the greatest by far follow by the 04/05 zx10r..stay safe Brah💯
Well stated... K5/K6 - K7/K8 & '04/'05 ZX10R are to me, the best Liter Bikes ever produced
I bought a 04 750 2 years ago. I fucking love it. It feels so good around corners and shit. I can't even put into words how good and comfortable I feel on the bike compared to others I've ridden. if you ever make it out to Oregon I'll show you some awesome roads, view points and you can crash on my couch lol stay safe brah. congrats on 100k
Imo I think the 750 is the greatest period...look at the current generation. 11 years and suzuki still haven't update SHIT..lol..and I'm noooot mad at all..I could care less about rider aides.. I started riding in the 2000s ,none of that existed so I got use to it... the 1000s are just violently fassst..the 750 is smooooth fassst..I don't mind working that gear box... stay safe bro!! Gsxr gang!!
Got a K6 GSXR 1000 best bike ever
I am 100% not a gixxer guy but dam that bike sounds amazing with that setup!
Miss my 05. Was such a great bike. That SC is the right exhaust for that too. Sounds good and looks killer. Excited for you brother 🏍🏁
This is why I love my 05 cbr600f4i. No restrictions, nothing holding me back to blast down the highway!
currently have a k1 with 56k miles, really want a k6. k1 is nice but k6 looks much better and being only 5 years newer comes with a lot of things I want without any of the electronics/emission crap that I don't want
I somehow stumbled onto these videos and I’ve always like super sport bikes despite riding only Harley’s but isn’t it crazy how a few thousand bucks can get you a 15 yr old bike that is fast than 90% of what’s on the road today 😂.
Yeah buddy.... My bike is 23 and still rocks
Best fully analogue 1000 ever made.
Have a K6, 12k miles.. My beloved forever! Does everything you'll ever need it to do.
2006 GSXR 1000 to this day holds the fastest 0-60 of ANY stock motorcycle, still in 2022. Let that sink in.
Also, the ram air adds a functional 10-15hp, through airflow alone! GSXR introduced RAM AIR to the field of street machines. We have a lot to thank Suzuki for.
Desperation has set in
Sorry but, Kawasaki was the first manufacturer to use "RAM Air" on street bikes.
I just recently got my forever bike, the new 23 GSX-S 1000 and what's really cool is it has this same engine. Suzuki reused the k5 gixxer 1k engine in the new redesigned gsxs and I couldn't be happier with it
I have a 2005 999S, the older analog bikes are something else.
Can't beat the look of a 96 suzuki gsxr 750 srad gold/black.
I had a k7. Black. Was so comfortable. 45k miles but rode like new. Loved it
You'll be able to perfect it over time. Maybe even get that clutch cover chrome plated. Is it flashed yet? Schnitz Racing or Moore Mafia will be able to fix you up on a good flash for more power! I like the older bikes too, that's why I love my 2007 Hayabusa which has H.I.D.s. I like the moon-beam glow!
No chrome 🤢🤢🤢
you must be like 45 pushing 50 lol
Man, I was 67 on May 5th. I still ride a Hayabusa and a hopped up ZX-14R!
@@nitrousninja882 wanna be my grandpa
@@michaels7866, age is just a number and mine is unlisted! You've already got two Grandpa's and you don't need a third.
K5 and k6 my favorite looking gsxr’s 🥰🥰
I have two GSXR 1000s, a K3 and K5. Both are awesome but the K5 is spectacular! Raw performance
Just bought a k5 1000 myself yesterday. It supposedly is bored and has aftermarket cams so we'll see what she's all about.
Because it's a F'kin LEGEND!
Love my K8 7Fiddy. When the Yoshi cams and the port and polish are done it is gonna be Silly. Right now it has been flashed and tuned by Chris Moore and it hold its own but once I am done with it it will be a monster! Stay safe Bruh!
I ride a GSXR 750 k7 I think I’d be a fool to sell it. After watching this video it reminded me what I have, good to see you back on the OG raw shit 🔥🔥
You handle that thing like a 600
Sounds amazing. Can’t wait to watch the vids you do in Colorado and around your area. Get it, brah!! 🤘
im happy to see another gixxer on the channel
Still have my 07 cbr 1krr.. bought brand new for $11,400 bucks.. there was never a reason to sell it.. I have a street glide i bought in 2014 so the cbr still has only 42k on it.. Its such a thrill the few times a year I smash the highway on it..
Original owner of a 04 cbr1000rr. Raw power.
I've had my 05 for over 2 years and 11k now. Amazing how well it kept up with a 21 gsxr until it didn't😅
Did you have any issues with the cbr I plan on buying a 07 anything I should look out for
@@bootyslayer2868 06-07 had zero issues just thoroughly look it over like any other sport bike. Then ditch the 190/50 for a 55 so it'll perform like its meant to.
@@bootyslayer2868 it has been stupid reliable.. only routine maintenance.. the most notable, I replaced chain and sprockets, and rebuilt front forks at about 28k miles.. only tires and oil changes otherwise..
The SC project exhaust sounds so so so good bike looks pretty good aside from some of the little scratches I saw on it it’s definitely a 10 for me
I’ve had my K7 GSXR 1k for about 1 month and I know exactly what you mean about raw power these machines are incredible
LOVE THE GIXXER1000. my dad had an 06. loved that bike. i rode it a couple times when i was 18 or so
About topping out 6th gear. The k5 1000 has a top speed limiter and some lower gear limiters as well! You can delete that straight in the ECU or get a healtech powerbox. Did mine with a ECU flash, runs all the rpms in 6th 😬
That rip past the Nascar, I used to hit the same spot every week making my trips back to Houston from Colorado. Decatur is the last sketchy spot for LE. Once I hit DFW, always knew I was safe and gonna make it so absolutely rip through until I-45S.
Man I have a 2006 modified FZ1S and I tell you, it is nutty fast... has a real good remap on it... sounds amazing, puts out amazing power... and no crazy electronics... no ABS. no traction. no anti-wheelie... it is so much fun! If you really slap the throttle, the front wheel comes up in a controlled manor on its own... it is so much fun! great to see you enjoying an older bike! (next part for gixxer, stop reading if you are not gixxer!... I have a vod if you wanted to see of my bike😁)
Man I’m excited for this build.
I had a Yamaha R1 and had to get rid of it when i was around 24 (married), but after my divorce and now 20 years latter i wanted another 1000, and i just happen to find an amazing deal on a gsxr 2006 1000! Cant believe how lucky i am that this was the bike i got. Feels so good to be on the road again!
It does sound good asf
My 02 gixxer thou was by far the most fun bike I've owned, perfect hooligans tool that begged to be abused, best stock exhaust on any bike too! Don't understand why people shy away from getting gixxers and pretending they're the poor man's sportsbike!
That poor man's sportbike now cost almost 15k OTD 😅😅.. the main reason is lack of new technology and although the design is timeless ,it haven't been updated since 2011!!.. despite that it has a cult following..people still buy enough of them for suzuki to keep selling them..I got mine in 2019 with zero miles,fresh out the crate.keeping it another 2 years at least! .. be safe bro
ADD at its finest “turtle!” 👀 I feel ya brah🤙🏼
This is why I like my 2004 cbr600f4i, more upright and no cpu nanny's stopping the fun.
got one back in 08 . pointless, stupid, almost completely useless on the street . ..i loved every second of it . miss my 05 zuki 1k . 😄
No shame man...I just went from 2 90s era zx7s to an 05 zx636 the early 2000s bikes were all gas no brake and minimal tech. Pure riding
Also I would check that steering stem nut looks a little loose 6 pointed star should point up at the cluster!
Definitely not watching this during school instead of doing work… 🤫
Glad to see u back on gsxr, got 750Y and 600 k8 now myself at 18 years old.
Pretty cool to see this build on this bike!
Beautiful bike and sounds really good.. But like a saying goes: Its not the speed that kills you. Its the sudden stop.. Be safe
Thats got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Any 3 year old can figure that out so to implicate that bikers don't understand or know that fact to me is insulting
I still own my 1991 Gixer 1100!!!! New for $7500!!! NEW. Out the door!!! Got the juice on it too😂😂😂😂
bought a k4 gsxr 600 that needed a little work as my first bike and I love it you have full control just raw bike
A testament to this, is I have the very bike your looking for! 2005 gixxer 1000 K5. Setup as a super stock! Carbon bodywork, Marchesini wheels, brembo/Ohlins front and rear. Never been on the street at all with 6000 miles on it.
Ooo I want that one too
Are you clutchless up shifting? Damn it so satisfying to see people on RUclips know how to do that. You should do clutchless downshiftings too. It works pretty well on gravel roads, it doesn't locks your rear tire.
Gixxer Brah is the peoples champion.
I have a k5 750…it’s hands on, and kick ass all day!! Raw as can be…the K5 is legendary!✌🏼
Yea those bikes are great. Lot’s of power, and the sound is beautiful.
K5 gsxr 750 here 🙌
I had the same model which I bought new in 2007, I had the blue and white which I think is the best colour scheme for a GSX-R1000.... I sold it when it was 4 years old with only 4,000 kilometres on the clock.... It was the worst decision of my entire life. I loved that bike and I should have kept it.... NEVER sell a bike is the lesson I learnt....I now have a collection of 12 bikes but I would buy back my Gixxer given half a chance....
I bought a 21 yr old bike! 6,100 miles were on it! R1 2001!!! Looks new! Been happy so far! Garage kept ! Sat 5 yrs not ran etc! Who cares how old! Changed the oil & replaced the 2004 tires! Been riding & smiling like Jimmy Carter!😉🤠😂
You can keep the same speedometer you can replace the case and swap the internals
Got a craigslist special 2009 Gsx-r 750 several months. Nothing wrong with an older bike! I'll definitely be getting an older Gsx-r 1000 when the time comes!
Love the bike!! Def was a year unlike any other!!
my sportbike is 25 years old, well maintained. Still rides like a charm (Y)
Older bikes have character 🥰
Man the K generation Gixxers are my favorite sport bikes-I still ride my K3 750 daily here in Tx even w/triple digit ambient temps👍🏼
I had to seem k5 1000 same colour in 2010 15000 km all original + Yoshimura full exhaust. Sold it for 5500€ that was 13 years ago. Price is the same now.
Best vid I've seen so far about this yr bike...I have the 06..the old war horse still pulls hard
Almost bought a gixxer, but man literally the one thing that steered me away is the headlight lol,
Ive had a k5 since 2016 and i really love it alot! Some common upgrades is mirrors from L1-L6. They bolt right up, looks almost identical, but they dont suffer from the wobbles yours have. They have 2 main recalls. First one is a frame brace, make sure you have yours on. Dont want that frame to snap comming down from a wheelie. Front master cylinder is the second one. however if the recall for that is done or not i would get a aftermarket one. like a brembo corsa corta or a accossato. A common oil leak is often found on the seal around the clutch pushrod. this is due to lack of cleaning the chain oil gunk. You can put a rubber hose on the pushrod to save it from grease flinging onto it. there is also a guy in uk that makes pushrods with larger diameter if yours is leaking. To change the seal you need to split the engine cases. There is an awesome fb group for K5/k6 stuff. www.face book.com/groups/345897745466895
Ya man I have a brembo front master for it 😎
You have bought an awesome bike. I have an RF 900 1996 model. Still goes like hell and a great Sport Tourer!.
Now THAT is a bike!!!
She sounds great congrats.
That old frame 721mm from pivot to steering head datum are so nice to ride... the bike and some money.... as fast as any new bike !
2004-2006 gsxrs were way ahead of there time I have a 2004 750 and keeps up Easy and even passes newer bikes… cost a fraction of the price of these newer bikes
"This bike is not perfect, it needs a lot of love" & then the Gixxer brah let's it rip! 😎
Bro I literally just got the same bike..good choice bro...it's a beast bro ..mine is
