TLEJ Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 In the long run you'll be better off to save another $500-$1000 and get a newer/nicer bike. Heck, you can always lowball some people who are priced higher. Someone may need rid of one pretty bad. I actually did try that, I got some of the 5k bikes down to 3500.. It's easy especially at this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is untrue. With the right maintenance (Not just oil changes and fresh brakes) these bikes can run as long as most cars. Bikes get a bad rap from people just buying them and beating on them then wondering why they are having problems before 10k miles. Those of us who actually ride, and take good care of our bikes will easily see 50k out of them with no issues. The blue R1 I posted a pic of earlier is probably flirting with 60k by now and still running like a brand new bike. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I've tried to drill that through people in this threads head since page 1. It's not terribly unusual to see 70k-80k-even 100k bikes from people that actually ride and ride alot. Just have to take care of it and realize it needs more than oil, tires, and brakes when the time comes. -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I hate shimming valves Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I hate shimming valves It's a breeze after you've done it a few times (Read as: A few dozen times). I can do most in a matter of minutes.

CleanSierra Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I hate the math of it...and I like math. Guess it boils down to just being lazy with adjusting valves. Makes me so happy when measuring gap and they fall within spec Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me so happy when measuring gap and they fall within spec It's like anything else, after long enough it just becomes second nature. I've gotten lucky and still haven't had to shim them in my current R1 yet (20k on the cluster, but was -1/+2 since brand new so slightly less). -Zach-2010 Toyota TundraFull Hybrid Audio SQ 7" BDS on 37's 2000 Ford Expedition 160+ dB Green Turd -SOLD- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiBTLforlife Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've been talking to the guy for a while and he says -2002 GSXR 750 -32000 Miles -Runs great just out shop -Over $1000 in parts plus over $1500 in extra mods -Title is messsed up so I will sale with bill of sale and all paperwork I have Says he needs to sell for bills and to get a truck. I've offered him $2000, and he said when can I come get it.. I realize this bike is worth more than that, but what should I do? This is my first bike, and I don't know what to look for.. This seems almost like a steal. you can get a 2005 gsxr 600 for around 3k to 3.5k. The older bikes ride allot different and anything 2005 and up will ride allot better. Its not a bad deal for the bike but I wouldnt get it IMO ...go for a 600.......I owned a 05 gsxr 600 and rode a 2010 gsxr 1000, 2005 cbr 1000, 2006 gsxr 750 and they all ride different. Main thing I noticed was the new the bike, the better the ride He also said he has the mirrors and he'd put them on before he sold it to me. Any input? 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
