25K for a 190hp bike... hahahahahaha yeah right.. blow me 955.

For 25K I could buy a new GSXR1K and mod the hell out of it way better then what they have done and get 190hp with all engine instead of a stupid turbo.. What a joke...

They have a better chance of auctioning it off for charity and then using it as a tax writeoff then they do selling it.

Hell, a Superstock built 2007/08 GSXR 1000 WITHOUT a turbo is at 180-185 at the wheels. Plus, it isn't a pile of shit like the 955.

It would take far less money and you could use that spare cash to gamble titles with!!

Pice of shit and the paint job looks even better:rolleyes:

I put our bikes on the scale last week although they had slightly different amounts of fuel.

02 r1 404 lbs

06 gsxr 600 404 lbs <- topped off tank

04 gsxr 750 398 lbs <- pretty full

So 418 with the turbo components is not bad

But bike weights on websites should always be given dry.. so add at least another

20lbs for gas

4lbs for oil

7-10lbs for coolant.

7 lbs equates to about 1hp. So, with that weight difference (I am sure the weight is claimed as dry), it is almost another 3 hp loss. So, it is at 187... $25k at 187hp is shit. Again, Superstock GSXR1000 is about 185ish... Well, that is the limit Suzuki imposes for the Cup races...
