When I was a kid a group of guys used to wheelie gsxrs and r6s like this through my neighborhood. Those were the coolest guys on the planet to my friends and I
It's a good skill
This feels like gixxer got his dream bike the way he talks about it and rides it, so congratulations bruh it’s a beautiful bike.
If you do a build series I think you can get a lot of traffic. That’s something I’d definitely want to see.
Sure are alot of winners
😂 almost like it’s a scam or something 😂 see how he keeps changing the name too because after reporting him after so long he loses the channel and has to rename it.
@@Gixxerbrah Gizzerbrah🤣
Love this video hated that I got scammed. Downloaded that Telegram crap and everything but not silly enough to share any important info. Should have known it wasn't you Brah! 🫠🖤🏍️💨
For sure. Who gets into bikes without getting into wanting to build them.....
Any well maintained 17 or so year old bike really isn't that old. 03-09 is the best era of bikes honestly.
Edit* 03-09 is the best era for sportbikes***
Maybe for Sportbikes. But for Enduros/Dualsports/Adv Bikes (a Term that wasn't that common in that Time :D) it was pure Hell.
And apart from Sportbikes, horrible roundish plastic "future" y2k Designs.
@Kapitaenosavrvs you're 110% right. Those dirt bike wild west days of the 80s-99 were insane! Too bad I only caught the tail end of that era..
Yup you're def right. My first bike was an 04 cbr f4i , gawwd that thing was so much fun
To this day nothing looks as good as a K4 to me.
Agree my 2003 r6 was the best bike i ever had. I own bmw ans aprilia now but plan to add an r6 back to the collection
This is hilarious, I just bought a gsxr 1000 2006 yesterday. It’s my first sports bike, super excited 😁
Are you still alive?
Suzuki sells adrenalin. Ducati sells beauty. Kawi sells precision. Yamaha sells fun. The rest are just other choices of the same.
Honda sells quality. Harley devidson sells big ol' murican patriotism.
@@headhunter531 ever changed a spark plug on a Honda 😂
@user4269 true
@user4269 i know. 😂
Damn... I thought they sold motorcycles
My k6 gixxer 1000 has been sitting in the garage for years. This video has motivated me to get back on the saddle.
I'm not a jealous man by nature, but I gotta' say that I'm envious of having the skills to justify owning/riding one of the baddest sport bikes in history. ...If you can legitimately ride a ZX-11, CBR 954, original gen R1, ZX10, and an '08 GSX-R, you wear the crown. Good work 🤛
;)
I had an 04 R1 and currently have a 06 z1000. Those early 2000s bikes are a whole different beast than modern liter bikes! The z1 is such a unique experience ill buy other bikes but ill never get rid of that one.
@@xprox4185 if by different u mean slower then yes.
@@Adrenalean767 🤣 theirs always gonna be something faster my friend. Sometimes thats not what's important.
@@xprox4185 sure thing brother
That's why I love my 05 CBR 1000rr because it's just so raw and there's nothing holding the bike back except for the rider, I'm glad I bought an older bike! I really want to buy an older GSXR now.
Miss my 05. Was such a great bike. That SC is the right exhaust for that too. Sounds good and looks killer. Excited for you brother 🏍🏁
I’ve had my K5 1000 for 5 years. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Never selling it. Great video brah 👍
You ever go down on a black man?
Congrats.
Very beautiful motorcycle.
Most of the bikes you thrash are much younger with far less miles.
Please go through this thing and make sure the engine and oil seals are up to your standards.
Last place you want an 17 years old oil seal to blow out is going 200 miles per hour.
You might want to check the cam chain and chain guides for slop too
I see what you are saying about the gearing.
It looks like the bike is geared more for interstate cruising not acceleration.
I saw it being just a little slower then the bikes you regularly thrash off the line but damn, not by much.
New chain and sprockets gives you a definite idea when they were installed and the quality of those parts too.
Someone else in the comments section says they think the steering head bolt is not aligned right so it's a fun fest of getting things on this bike up your Gixer brah standards.
Gotta check the grease in the 17 year old wheel bearings too.
You put your life on the line and nothing can be left to chance.
I look forward to the video where you show off the new brakes.
I will miss you riding the smaller bikes because you sure rode them like you were running through traffic in your track shoes at 180 miles per hour.
Congrats Gixer , on your new classic rocket ship.
Enjoy.
I have a k6 since 2006 and can't get rid of it for all the things you mentioned. Look forward to the build.
I use to have the 06 in blue and white. Gorgeous bike and my favorite for a long time.
Man I have a 2006 modified FZ1S and I tell you, it is nutty fast... has a real good remap on it... sounds amazing, puts out amazing power... and no crazy electronics... no ABS. no traction. no anti-wheelie... it is so much fun! If you really slap the throttle, the front wheel comes up in a controlled manor on its own... it is so much fun! great to see you enjoying an older bike! (next part for gixxer, stop reading if you are not gixxer!... I have a vod if you wanted to see of my bike😁)
Sounds amazing. Can’t wait to watch the vids you do in Colorado and around your area. Get it, brah!! 🤘
I just bought an '07 GSXR 750. It's in pristine condition and fast as hell. I absolutely love it. Much faster than I need to be and SOOOOO smooth.
Literally bought a pristine 04 Yamaha R1 a month ago and I love it. 18 year old bike. 13k miles. But it was my dream bike when I was younger. Already been modding the shit out of it!
it is at least 130k miles
I bought a 04 750 2 years ago. I fucking love it. It feels so good around corners and shit. I can't even put into words how good and comfortable I feel on the bike compared to others I've ridden. if you ever make it out to Oregon I'll show you some awesome roads, view points and you can crash on my couch lol stay safe brah. congrats on 100k
Imo I think the 750 is the greatest period...look at the current generation. 11 years and suzuki still haven't update SHIT..lol..and I'm noooot mad at all..I could care less about rider aides.. I started riding in the 2000s ,none of that existed so I got use to it... the 1000s are just violently fassst..the 750 is smooooth fassst..I don't mind working that gear box... stay safe bro!! Gsxr gang!!
I got a 99 r1 love it nothing bad about the old bikes still ride strong and fun
My friend use to have a 99 R1 with full race exhaust, till today my favorite sounding bike.
05-06 gsxr1000 is the definition of Supersport. I ride a street triple but man those liter bikes are tempting.
The SC project exhaust sounds so so so good bike looks pretty good aside from some of the little scratches I saw on it it’s definitely a 10 for me
This is why I love my 05 cbr600f4i. No restrictions, nothing holding me back to blast down the highway!
Bought a K6 new and rode it in the Isle of Man for 10 years to me the only place the bike can actually be used, mods were carbon wheels (turns like a 600, improves brakes and acceleration) and a quick action throttle because half the time the only thing holding the bike back is the riders ability to open the throttle quick enough (Yamaha R1 throttle tube fits and works). Such a stable machine, dynoed at 162 BHP. Do you know these things can hit top speed (limited 189mph) in 20 seconds from a standing start and only weigh 162kg (in my case wet due to the wheels) and this is a relativity long stroke motor so pulls real hard mid range and its that mid range that dominates on the road also BMW bench marked their RR1000 on the K5 4 years after it came out!
Glad to see you back on a GSX-R
me too. one of my fav videos is the trip to colorado on the old gixxer.
Glad to see u back on gsxr, got 750Y and 600 k8 now myself at 18 years old.
I bought a K6 1000 a month ago, literally has been my favorite bike out of the 8 I've owned, the RAW power, the look, the feel of it is perfect to me, can't wait for the footage to come!! 🔥
@@rudeboy7542 $6k with 14k miles
I would think a 20 year old GSXR that’s in good mechanical shape and available on the cheap is absolutely a no brainer.
K6 1000 is a legend of a bike always will be 📦✅👍
Just bought a K1 gixxer 1000 and it is so fun to ride an older bike, no tech…just raw power
This is why we buy older motorcycles! no emissions no throttle bodies only the rider is holding this bike back or wide open it’s your choice
I just recently got my forever bike, the new 23 GSX-S 1000 and what's really cool is it has this same engine. Suzuki reused the k5 gixxer 1k engine in the new redesigned gsxs and I couldn't be happier with it
Love my K8 7Fiddy. When the Yoshi cams and the port and polish are done it is gonna be Silly. Right now it has been flashed and tuned by Chris Moore and it hold its own but once I am done with it it will be a monster! Stay safe Bruh!
Heyy braaahs. Old bikes are where it's at, my 01 TL1000 still kickin ass
I still own my 1991 Gixer 1100!!!! New for $7500!!! NEW. Out the door!!! Got the juice on it too😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the content brah we love it over anything keep it up!
Lucky s.o.b.! That's my dream bike. Had a k1 1k with everything MPS and Yoshi I could throw at it, including a 40 shot dry kit. Was a monster. Just wrecked my 03 Sabre 1100 four days ago. Had to have my lip stitched back on but soon as that and the road rash heal I'm looking to get back on a rocket. New sub. Keep the paint up brother!
Got a gsxr750.almost 4 yrs now ..still loving it..155 is fast enough for me. The 1000 is a rocket ,violently fasssst..bike just wanna throw u in a ditch..K5 imo is the greatest by far follow by the 04/05 zx10r..stay safe Brah💯
Well stated... K5/K6 - K7/K8 & '04/'05 ZX10R are to me, the best Liter Bikes ever produced
Yeah buddy.... My bike is 23 and still rocks
That rip past the Nascar, I used to hit the same spot every week making my trips back to Houston from Colorado. Decatur is the last sketchy spot for LE. Once I hit DFW, always knew I was safe and gonna make it so absolutely rip through until I-45S.
Ive had 4 Gixxers . The K5 was the best one and still my favorite . Theres a reason why it got the nick name Godzilla and that reason is cause nothing compared to it . Even today its still a top contender . Good choice my friend.
'04 - '05 ZX10R just entered the room... Hold my 🍺
@@bacchusthompson5834 jeeze thats funny the fastest zx10 ive seen was being towed by a GSXR . Need i say more hahaha
@@ll-nz3qn I personally haven't seen that 🤷🏾♂️
I ride a GSXR 750 k7 I think I’d be a fool to sell it. After watching this video it reminded me what I have, good to see you back on the OG raw shit 🔥🔥
You handle that thing like a 600
Got a craigslist special 2009 Gsx-r 750 several months. Nothing wrong with an older bike! I'll definitely be getting an older Gsx-r 1000 when the time comes!
I had a k7. Black. Was so comfortable. 45k miles but rode like new. Loved it
I’ve had my K7 GSXR 1k for about 1 month and I know exactly what you mean about raw power these machines are incredible
I am 100% not a gixxer guy but dam that bike sounds amazing with that setup!
Got a K6 GSXR 1000 best bike ever
im happy to see another gixxer on the channel
currently have a k1 with 56k miles, really want a k6. k1 is nice but k6 looks much better and being only 5 years newer comes with a lot of things I want without any of the electronics/emission crap that I don't want
You have bought an awesome bike. I have an RF 900 1996 model. Still goes like hell and a great Sport Tourer!.
About topping out 6th gear. The k5 1000 has a top speed limiter and some lower gear limiters as well! You can delete that straight in the ECU or get a healtech powerbox. Did mine with a ECU flash, runs all the rpms in 6th 😬
Just bought a k5 1000 myself yesterday. It supposedly is bored and has aftermarket cams so we'll see what she's all about.
I have two GSXR 1000s, a K3 and K5. Both are awesome but the K5 is spectacular! Raw performance
I have a 2005 999S, the older analog bikes are something else.
Gixxer bruh!!!! Man, how your channel grew fam. Keep bringing us that adrenaline rush!
Amazing mind-blowing skills you have- Is it possible for you to make tutorials for the beginner super sport bike riders? I just started riding few months ago on a 900cc street bike and I now truly feel the need for speed. Sooner planning to purchase the GXR-1000 or Hayabusa but I'm little hesitant due to not having any skills or knowledge to ride such machines safely. I searched for videos on TH-cam on this subject but didn't really find anything helpful. I really want to learn to ride like you and the many other skilled riders, but I don't know where to begin. Please consider making some tutorials to help us new riders. Thank you & have a wonderful 2023
LOVE THE GIXXER1000. my dad had an 06. loved that bike. i rode it a couple times when i was 18 or so
Yea those bikes are great. Lot’s of power, and the sound is beautiful.
I have a 2016. Last of the no nany gsxr 1000. It is pretty. It is fast. I geared mine with 3 teeth to the rear. It does a GPS correct speed of 155mph. It doesn't take long to get there. It wheelies in third. At 60mph in 2nd gear it wheelies from there to over 100mph. It is amazing.
I hope to someday have the skills to ride like you. What a beautiful bike, the older bikes are always my favourite, the new ones look ugly. As you said, the raw version of these bikes are the best. Great video, up the GSXR’s all the way brother 👍
Have a K6, 12k miles.. My beloved forever! Does everything you'll ever need it to do.
Man I’m excited for this build.
I somehow stumbled onto these videos and I’ve always like super sport bikes despite riding only Harley’s but isn’t it crazy how a few thousand bucks can get you a 15 yr old bike that is fast than 90% of what’s on the road today 😂.
bought a k4 gsxr 600 that needed a little work as my first bike and I love it you have full control just raw bike
Pretty cool to see this build on this bike!
Are you clutchless up shifting? Damn it so satisfying to see people on TH-cam know how to do that. You should do clutchless downshiftings too. It works pretty well on gravel roads, it doesn't locks your rear tire.
Love the bike!! Def was a year unlike any other!!
Just got a 2007 Gsxr 750 for my first bike and it’s awesome. I’m taking it easy and trying to learn slowly, but I did open it up on the highway a couple times!
That is a damn fast first bike
Bought a 2003 1000 for my first sport bike... absolutely love it.
A testament to this, is I have the very bike your looking for! 2005 gixxer 1000 K5. Setup as a super stock! Carbon bodywork, Marchesini wheels, brembo/Ohlins front and rear. Never been on the street at all with 6000 miles on it.
Ooo I want that one too
I had the same model which I bought new in 2007, I had the blue and white which I think is the best colour scheme for a GSX-R1000.... I sold it when it was 4 years old with only 4,000 kilometres on the clock.... It was the worst decision of my entire life. I loved that bike and I should have kept it.... NEVER sell a bike is the lesson I learnt....I now have a collection of 12 bikes but I would buy back my Gixxer given half a chance....
Just bought a k6 and love it…
Far better than the modern machines
K5 and k6 my favorite looking gsxr’s 🥰🥰
That old frame 721mm from pivot to steering head datum are so nice to ride... the bike and some money.... as fast as any new bike !
I’d have bought it to lol good to see ya back on the gixxy 🤟
Welcome to the club Brah u know I still hold it down on the K6 1000 with the ecu flash, racing filter and exhaust and smoking these newer bikes out here 💯🎯
In your dreams hommie maybe you raced people that can’t race lol newer bikes are way more powerful to keep up
@@juanpancho9575 numbers don’t lie check the power rating newer bikes are flashing the ecu and their torque rating is less then the k6 stock and my ecu is flashed and the bike is lighter titanium headers stock the k5 and k6 is the OG 🎯💯
@@juanpancho9575 newer bikes do have more HP but, they are a lot heavier than a K5 - K8 Gixxer... K5/K6 Gixxer is still the lightest Liter Bike ever produced (K7/K8 are the same after a single exhaust configuration) followed by the '04/'05 ZX10R. The lightest new Liter Bike is the '17+ CBR1000RR which is about 420lbs Dry... The K5/K6 is 366lbs Dry & the '04/'05 ZX10R is 374lbs Dry
Both older bikes make around 80'ish Lb/Ft which is right on par with newer bikes. I have no problem keeping up with or beating newer bikes on my '05 ZX10R
Sounds and feel awesome to watch bro!! Ride Safe Always LETS GOO!!
I love your riding style ! 👌👏 Im the same way and the plate was always on special bracket that was hidden behind the tire and bent up or down depending on the schedule.lol no cameras or anyone ever got me for speeding either! But this was 2010. And I forget the exhaust company brand name but it was just a tip on my 08' GSX-R 600 and got rid of the valve in the header & it felt like boost at 70mph+ from the forced air which equations to 7psi at 70mph all the way up to the top speed of 189 @16k redline but take it to 17k an hit 200mph. And 1-4th gear 9k-16k was power wheelies all day. 1st gear scary on a cold tire. But absolutely loved that bike and miss it more than any ex girlfriend. Anyways thanks for posting the video bruh I'm shaking just dreaming of riding right now😏😍🤯🤤💨🤌👏🤙
✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Also I would check that steering stem nut looks a little loose 6 pointed star should point up at the cluster!
Nice bike just got a yellow and black 05 last week!love it
Great to see you on a 1000 , They are a Handfull ! It is Nice to have a 600 and a 1000 and Switch
often It makes you a Better Rider !! Be Safe Breh !!! Arizona
Man the K generation Gixxers are my favorite sport bikes-I still ride my K3 750 daily here in Tx even w/triple digit ambient temps👍🏼
I had a Yamaha R1 and had to get rid of it when i was around 24 (married), but after my divorce and now 20 years latter i wanted another 1000, and i just happen to find an amazing deal on a gsxr 2006 1000! Cant believe how lucky i am that this was the bike i got. Feels so good to be on the road again!
I just bought a 2000 cbr 929 ,love the older bikes 🙌
Coming from a ‘14 Zx6r 6Dirty6 rider…I’m definitely gonna miss the 6Dirty6 riding…But bruh, BRUHHH done got a K5 GIXXER BRUHHH..& I’m soo here for it bruhhh’s!!!😎🤘🏽🔥
Best fully analogue 1000 ever made.
I still ride my 02 Yamaha YZF-R1 1000cc Voodoo racing header with a GP Shorty exhaust, Power commander 3, 2-4" lowering link, $500 steering Dampner, LED head lights, dual rotors in the front. No electronic control modes it's fuel injected it's fast as hell Handles awesome. Just at 39 almost 40 it's not real comfortable on long rides. But that's why I have my Victory Hammer Chopper 1000cc and my Yamaha Raider 1900cc cruiser.
K5 looks smooth leaned back! Cool brah!
Still have my 07 cbr 1krr.. bought brand new for $11,400 bucks.. there was never a reason to sell it.. I have a street glide i bought in 2014 so the cbr still has only 42k on it.. Its such a thrill the few times a year I smash the highway on it..
Original owner of a 04 cbr1000rr. Raw power.
I've had my 05 for over 2 years and 11k now. Amazing how well it kept up with a 21 gsxr until it didn't😅
Did you have any issues with the cbr I plan on buying a 07 anything I should look out for
@@bootyslayer2868 06-07 had zero issues just thoroughly look it over like any other sport bike. Then ditch the 190/50 for a 55 so it'll perform like its meant to.
@@bootyslayer2868 it has been stupid reliable.. only routine maintenance.. the most notable, I replaced chain and sprockets, and rebuilt front forks at about 28k miles.. only tires and oil changes otherwise..
You'll be able to perfect it over time. Maybe even get that clutch cover chrome plated. Is it flashed yet? Schnitz Racing or Moore Mafia will be able to fix you up on a good flash for more power! I like the older bikes too, that's why I love my 2007 Hayabusa which has H.I.D.s. I like the moon-beam glow!
No chrome 🤢🤢🤢
you must be like 45 pushing 50 lol
Man, I was 67 on May 5th. I still ride a Hayabusa and a hopped up ZX-14R!
@@nitrousninja882 wanna be my grandpa
@@michaels7866, age is just a number and mine is unlisted! You've already got two Grandpa's and you don't need a third.
No shame man...I just went from 2 90s era zx7s to an 05 zx636 the early 2000s bikes were all gas no brake and minimal tech. Pure riding
Used to live off Basswood. Back in the day (1986ish) I had a GSXR 750 and a bunch of us would hit 287 just to run from the DPS 5.0 ....... he never could catch us. Check with Twisted Technologies. They got a solid 160 hp on my K6 1000 ..... it weighed less than 400 pounds and was a handful. Now I ride a BMW r1250 GSA ..... I got old !!!! 🙂
my sportbike is 25 years old, well maintained. Still rides like a charm (Y)
This is why I like my 2004 cbr600f4i, more upright and no cpu nanny's stopping the fun.
ADD at its finest “turtle!” 👀 I feel ya brah🤙🏼
The K5-K6 GSXR 1000 weighs the same as a new S1000RR and has more torque. An absolute beast of a bike
I had to seem k5 1000 same colour in 2010 15000 km all original + Yoshimura full exhaust. Sold it for 5500€ that was 13 years ago. Price is the same now.
2006 GSXR 1000 to this day holds the fastest 0-60 of ANY stock motorcycle, still in 2022. Let that sink in.
Also, the ram air adds a functional 10-15hp, through airflow alone! GSXR introduced RAM AIR to the field of street machines. We have a lot to thank Suzuki for.
Desperation has set in
Sorry but, Kawasaki was the first manufacturer to use "RAM Air" on street bikes.
got one back in 08 . pointless, stupid, almost completely useless on the street . ..i loved every second of it . miss my 05 zuki 1k . 😄
Congratulations on an excellent bike purchase
