@@paytonlefevre3519it was very light from the factory. K7/K8 weight went up due to emissions. Change the full exhaust out on a newer GSX-R1000 so it's lighter, tune it so it doesn't run like crap, and it would be pretty good.
@@paytonlefevre3519 0-60mph on a bike is very rider dependant. I'm sure a pro could get sub 3 seconds on a lot of literbikes, which an amateur is not going to do it even with all the rider aides
Greetings from Australia - I've had a yellow and black K5 gixxa thou for over 18 years and she is still running strong. Love it heaps and have not even been slightly tempted to "upgrade" since getting it. Prior to this bike I used to change every few years... this is a keeper!
I bought one of these, new in 2006 and it was a great bike, my friend bought the same bike a few months later and he is still riding it today, last I checked he had 115,000kms on it.
Been watching you for a couple months now. You are one of the people responsible for me taking the threat of death on a motorcycle in traffic seriously. Got a tiny Duke 200 to really make sure I master the fundamentals before I move on to something freeway worthy. Watched this to see how I felt about liter bikes now that I'm a little more experienced. And yeah, I'm still a long way from trusting myself with this kind of heat!
Once you go big bore you don't go back, for the street anyway...that sweet sweet torque. Miss my K6, Red n Blk just like this, lots of hard street rippin n racing for years, nothing ever broke, just maintenance.. Enjoy
@@SR22VET-S15 Big Bore was always street slang for anything above 750cc, these days with all the definitions changing from the new school imbeciles, who knows. Hence, the "once you big bore, you don't go back, for the street"
Nice clean bike. Good luck with it. It sounds great! GSXR1000's have the best powerband for the road; strong, smooth and steady from down low. Enjoy it!
I have been considering getting an 2007 year of this bike. Thanks for the video! Also, if my math is correct your fuel is 82p per litre. Here in the UK super unleaded is between £1.55-£1.90 which would be approximately $8.24 a US Gallon! That would be a dream! Sucks for us :(
I have a blue and white k8 1000 with the original fairings and I definitely want to add a red and black k5/6 1000 to the stable since the k7 600 that I used to own was red and black. Also look into adding a racefit growler exhaust rather than the straight pipe it will sound amazing, and don't forget to get a tune
Not only does that bike look, and sound great, knowing you have the power to take out 99% of the cars on the road with a slight twist of the throttle is an awesome feeling!!! BUT living in the country like I do, speed isn’t recommended due to the amount of wildlife I encounter on the daily(deer, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, and coyotes), especially at night, so I’ll be getting something a little slower, safer, and less tempting!!! I’ll still have my fun, but not doing triple digits will hopefully keep me alive longer!!! 😂
Looks like you are on PW Parkway in Va. I live in Lake Ridge. Hope to see you on the road sometimes. Right now I have my bike in hibernation until it’s a little warmer. Great videos. Keep them coming. Be safe.
1:30 Fuel is so cheap in America. You said price per US gallon was $4 but in the UK, the price per US gallon would be $10.24. Two and a half times more in the UK than in America.
Love your knowledge and channel. Got a question. I'm an old dude selling my bike. What do you and any of your subscribers think I could get for my completely stock, 2003 GSXR-600, in perfect condition, without a scratch on it, with only 2600 original miles, clean title in hand. I've done a bunch of research, but it's real difficult to find a similar bike for sale or that sold with similar mileage. Any help from any of you guys is appreciated. Thanks. Everybody stay safe.
@@DREKOWICK69 They want to be on the highway. I road backroads 90% of the time a 600 is just more enjoyable for it. The power of the 1000 isn’t too bad to maintain i just like hearing the engine scream. Hard to do that on a 1000 under 100mph
@@camarov5456 honestly good to kno, I dont really get on the highway, I am pretty much backroads mostly and I kno exactly what you mean by the screaming.
is it me or doesn't is not sound like its running right sound like you need to get it dyno tuned setup to get those popping and holes you have in the throttle response fixed
Man what a sweet bike! Love the black and red! I want a 750 for my next bike so bad! I know they're basically unchanged since like '08 or so but wondering if there's a "special" year or range of years to look for if I can't get a new one? Thanks!
Thanks! If you’re interested in the black & red and want a 750, check out the 2014 red & black gsxr 750. I love that color and the 600’s/750’s are all the same 2011 and up. Hope that helps!
That’s a great question. It feels really good in that area. I’ve sat on older cbr’s and the first thing i noticed was the seat felt too wide. I was shocked how comfortable this was when I first hoped on (especially for its age)
@@SpunkyBoyy gotcha, thanks. I’m getting my first bike soon, and I want to get a 600. Not my first time riding, just my first time owning my own bike… but I’m a shorter dude at 5’3” with like a 28 inch inseam, so I’m big short lol.. I was just curious to know if the gixxers were thinner because that’ll make it a bit better as far as touching the ground goes and I don’t necessarily care which make I go with. I just haven’t had the time to go and sit on everything quite yet.
Im genuinely asking for help how do find a bike like this in the used market, like facebook marketplace is ridiculous now, and all i can find is beat up choopers in my city
I started on a 750. It really depends on if you know you can respect the machine & can ride within your limits. If you are a go-go-go type of person and just want a bike for speed, you should start on something smaller than even a 600. The larger the engine size the less forgiving they are.
@@ry9 I'm terrified of them trust me . I guess ill go with the 750 not the 600 because if I go with the 600 the extra power of the 750 will always be in the back of my mind. But yes I think you need a little bit of respect and fear when driving a motorcycle. My dad always says most crashes happen when ppl get too comfortable the roads are dangerous you have to watch out for others more than yourself at times.
It’s always better to work ur way up, and graduate from bike to bike in my opinion. I’d say a 600 to answer ur question, but I think 600’s are still too fast for learning.
@@SpunkyBoyy thanks enough said I'll try a 600 for a couple of years should be enough for me . Then maybe a 750 love the channel bro great content anything from how to purchase a great bike to maintenance to learning how to ride and safety tips
I hope you don't mind me answering your question. I would say a 600 is more fun while a 1000 is more terrifying while being fun. You have to be a lot more careful with a 1000. You can't scream through the gears almost anywhere on a 1000 the way you can on a 600 IMO. It really depends also on where your skill level is, and only you can answer that question.
I’d say the 1000, the way the power band hits is hard to beat. It also has a lot more toque which adds to the fun aspect, but 600’s are better for street use. 1000’s are too fast for street use(in my opinion)
Bro, get you a quickshifter with auto blip. Will completely change the experience. Got a 01 750, 04 busa on a 50 shot, 2023 1000r. New bike came factory with it. Removed my airshifter on the busa and went to quickshifter. Faster and smoother..

That’s a super clean ‘06!
Great choice man you're gonna love it... remember the 05-06 (Gen 3) is still the fastest 0-60 mph production motorcycle ever produced... 2.35 seconds
Why would that be? I mean I ride a Gixxer and love it but it doesn’t have any electronics and is down on power compared to everything else these days
