Bankerdude Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Its a 2005 gsxr600 with power commander and gear. Idk how I feel about it yet. Its so much slower than the 9 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'll bet if you ride it in the high rpm range it's not much slower. It will definitely handle better than the Kaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 05 modded gsxr slower than 97 zx9? Maybe you're just riding it slower because you aren't used to it yet, or perhaps it feels slower because it rides smoother... I doubt it's actually slower... I guess it's possible though, but in a race, I'd put money on a modern 600 over an old zx9 any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 ah the ol butt dyno seems to be malfunctioningcongrats on the purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 No he's right that old zx9 will still smoke a modern 600. I've got two buddy's with older zx9's and several with much newer 600's and the 600's don't stand a chance on a straight run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 We gps'd my one buddies '98 zx9 at 172 I was surprised it broke 170 but I was right next to him with my gps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankerdude Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 The price was right and its a bike for the summer. The guy I boughht it from was super short so I have to raise it back to stock height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 97 and 05 isn't the difference between modern era and ancient times there young Butters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Not knowing anything about either bike, quick google search tells me the zx9 has quite a bit more power than the gsxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
