everclear1984 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It's great to see that there are other bikers on here (although I don't currently own a bike I still consider myself a biker)Over ~8 years I've owned1987 Yamaha TZR 1251999 Honda CBR 600F1997 Kawasaki ZX6R1993 Honda Fireblade (Urban Tiger)1998 Suzuki GSXR 7501997 Kawasaki ZX7R1994 Kawasaki ZXR 4002003 Suzuki SV6502006 Suzuki GSXR 750I'm sure there are others that I've missed.I reluctantly sold my K6 2 years ago now, when my first son was born. Money was tight and we couldn't afford to run 2 vehicles I've regretted it ever since but needs must and I'll get back on a bike someday Anyway, here are some pics of a few of my bikes, and some of my favourite riding shots -Urban Tiger FirebladeI owned both the ZXR 400 and the CBR 600F in this picZX7RAnd my GSXR 750 K6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah it was mint, I loved that bike. I took it to a garage for a service and they failed to fit the sump plug securely. It worked it's way loose on the ride home and eventually dropped out spilling oil all over the road and the rear wheel, needless to say it didn't end well!

everclear1984 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I was clueless back then. By the time I stopped riding I did it all myself. They replaced the 1994 Firestorm with a 1998 gsxr 750 and replaced all of my leathers, helmet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 There was a guy on gsxr.com who hit over 100k on his K6 750. The time came to sell it and he soon realised it wasn't worth anything :D He even offered to sell it to Suzuki to show what their engines can do but they refused because he'd done all his own servicing.

I've only ever had an eye for sports bikes but lately the Kawasaki Z1000 has been drawing me in. I don't think I could move away from full fairing though :D If I could have any bike right now it would be a BMW S1000 but realistically I'll probably end up back on another GSXR 750.... I loved that bike! I'm 6'5" so whatever I go for will have to be "roomy" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Gsxr 750?...roomy!!.... lol!!...the last roomy gsxr was the k3-4 models. ... after that they started to shrink....I'm 6'2 . ...my k3 thou was a sweet fit. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K3-K4 was also the best looking model imo. My K6 750 wasn't too bad, I rode a K8 1000 which was a better fit but I'd like to do the odd trackday and the 750 felt right at home on the track. When you compare it to, say, an RSV4 it's complete luxury lol. I took a KTM RC8 out for a spin a while back and it really took me by surprise how spacious it is. It looks tiny but I could stretch right out. Although I'd never ridden a bike that felt like it wanted to kill me before the RC8 haha.

evssv Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) My mate took a rc8 out from fowlers a while bak.....he'd never ridden a v twin before. .. ..he didn't like it. .he was always gsxr fanboy....i had quik go and loved it. . But i own 2 twins so know how to ride one. ....And its not how u ride a il4. .... .them brembo mono blocks almost put me over the bars at the first roundabout . .lol!!.....was very nice. .but not for £11000 ...Here's me boy sat on it. . .....sure it was in '07.

HYPER-BOY Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Where do you guys put your bikes for sale? - best place? - I'm going to wait until March/April though as now is not good to sell ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 You're right to wait, you'll get a fraction of what it's worth this time of year. I've sold several bikes through eBay, just factor in what you'll lose in fees. You could always list it as a private sale, that way you only pay a listing fee, no final sale or paypal fees to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sitting my CBT again and grabbing a little screamer scooter. decided its either a Pug speedfight or a yam aerox but the 50cc versions. then its a year long build up, malossi 70ccm bore kit, S6RT variator + race clutch , 21mm carb upgrade and rejetting to 85 -95 jets - Naraku race CDI unit - technigas race pipe kit, a very decent set of rubber boots and a lanyarded killswitch unit. going to keep the bike original as in body working, a sort of sleeper scooter , i always had a passion for stage 6 tuned race scooters so have decided to make a road legal version making sure it sits just under the 14.5BPH requirement or 11kw what ever comes first. will keep me on my toes and should last me a good long while, im not as young and stupid now being middle aged more knackered than a lame horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
