i gotta a k4 1000 and at 63 yrs old with convertibars and lowering links and a full Yoshi system from the headers back oggy knobs its the fastest 1000 ive owned and ridden i owned a K1 for 7 yrs until someone destroyed it and with the insurance money i bought a K4......Wow is all i can say......i hope ive still got it when im 73!!!
I purchased a bronze one of these in 2003 and promptly sold it with 750 miles on the clock !! Far too manic. The exhaust had a "cmon cmon cmon" sound, the bike was far too light, would wheely unintentionally at any speed including top gear and was a threat to getting to old age. I went back to a Blackbird which was much more sensible. Now that I have reached old age, have, last week, gone and ordered a Fireblade. Here we go again !!!
04 1000 my first bike ever. not a hard bike to learn on. extremely powerful and planted. the bike's far more capable then 99.9% of anyone could ever tap into. For $5k you can feel the most absurd speed known to mere mortals. I want 5 more
Nice, im checking out a 03 k3 1000 tomorrow silver model with 5.7k miles. He’s asking $5,400. It’s mint, is that a good deal? I was thinking maybe $4,500-$4,800
I had almost 60K on mine, rode pretty hard, and still ran great until it drowned in a hurricane 😢. I don’t know why this guy gave it only 7 outta 10 for reliability 🤷♂️
@@WatWarrior22 the bike is a total joy. I use it for adrenaline therapy. I recommend getting it an 03 year in 04. Do five's and 06 is claimed to be the best but they're a lot smaller. I like a little bit bigger bike. Mine is a 03 with 18000 miles for thirty-four hundred bucks get one while you can
@@brianbrooks5947 No doubt about it you hit the nail on the head. These bikes will age like fine wine, especially as people continue to crash them and the ones with original plastic become scarce. To me the less electronics the better. Got my K3 with 30K miles for $2900. This is after owning a K1 1000, K2 1000, 954rr, three k1-k3 750s, and K7 600(which I still have).

This one is the mehh gsxr 1000 The k1-2 is a legend now. Th K5-K6 is the lightest, fastest without all kinds of electronic. - A legend. The K3-K4 is properly good, but it's not a legend.

Ditto 💯💪
FACTS 💯💪
I hated that colour originally but, its seriously staring to grow on me having seen one in the flesh and in stunning condition.
I want one! 😬 these are a steal nowadays....
I have near 50,000 miles on my 03 gsxr 1000 and she still runs like new.

funnies thing about this that still back in 2003 they thought this bike was ugly... style 7 out of 10 looool
but its aerodynamic
Was it filmed at Oulton Park?
How do you unlock the full potential of this bike without going to the track? The secret ingredient is crime.
Such a sexy bike I love my k4 suzuki blue. 93mp in 1st
Thanks lots of info
7/10 for reliability? That is a very low score for any Japanese bike.
Don't listen to that, he doesn't give any valid reason for it and these bikes are known to be very well built.
Just bought a 2003 1000 This fucking thing is no joke. Pretty much the baddest bike ever !!
Bro how do you like it I'm thinking about getting one cuz I have my eye on one now but I don't even know if it's worth it. What do you use it for?

Im guessing he hasn't ridden the K5 yet
K5 wasn't much faster, just much gruntier and a much better chassis.

Just my opinion and if you get that geeked over somthin so pointless then i guess it doesnt take much to rattle you

Very strange scores.
The facts are so off here....
Sotex Raptor what's their reliability like?
bigjam8429 I put 56k miles on mine before it drowned in a hurricane a few years back. Only problem I ever had was the front wiring harness.

Had a K3. Had to sell it but got a nicer K4 w/ powercomander last yr. I was lucky enough to find one. She won't be going anywhere this time!!
