aradamro Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I got rid of the R6 and picked this up the other day. I figured the RC needed another friend in the garage and an 06 GSX-R 1000 would be a great candidate. I'm not into the whole drag bike stretched look but it was a great deal and a clean bike. I'm definitely going to change some things on it so keep an eye out for updates. Headed to bed, I'll post more on it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 That is a clean looking bike. How many miles are on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aradamro Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 That is a clean looking bike. How many miles are on it?Thanks, 13,200 I'm sure they are way off because the sprockets are -2, +2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 squid Congrats Now I can hate you more for having that AND an RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aradamro Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Haha, I never thought I'd get a gsx-r have never really been a big fan. It was just a good deal and I figured I'd try it out. It has the following-swingarm extenders-rear stainless brake line-lowering link-Brock slip-on- -2, +2 sprockets-air brushed undertail-fender eliminator blacked out signals-frame sliders-kill switch for racing that goes around your wristGuy said he had it on the track a couple of times and made some mid 9 sec passes (I don't know if this is true just what he said.)I don't know anything about drag racing. He said when he first got it he had it dynoed before he did anything to it and it put down 150rwhp.My plans are back to stock suspension settings, take off swingarm extenders, powdercoat levers, rearsets and rear sprocket black. Change the front sprocket to -1 so it's -1, +2. Get a stock black undertail. Probably sell the exhaust and get something different. I've heard Brock's put down some great numbers but without the stretched look it might be out of place. I'd like to see what this thing will do on the twisties as that's the kind of riding I like to do. Probably get some front stainless lines and throw a power commander on as I can't really afford the Bazzaz right now.

V4junkie Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Well if you ever miss having an R6 I would trade you out of the goodness of my heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said when he first got it he had it dynoed before he did anything to it and it put down 150rwhp.I might believe the rwhp #, but I'm suspicious on the mid 9s passes. I'm not saying its impossible (with the gear changes and extended swingarm), but I'm skeptical. Cool machine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 A stock 2009 CBR1000rr did 9.68 on an MCUSA review, I believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can figure is that guy got a HELLUVA launch because my 'busa is trapping 137mph with 1.8s 60fts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
