GSX-R 1000 L7 first riding impressions

Company shill?

 

has anyone seen an ob-board video? there's a ton of cbr on-boards from portimao.

wtf?!

 

There are aftermarket clutchless downshift units available for any bike. We almost put one on the R6 before the GNF but ran out of time.

 

Provided that your bikes' throttle is rbw.

 

Yeah, there's always that.

 

Isn't the R1 kit something like $1,200 by the time you get the reflash and auto blipper? One less thing to mess with if its already got it.

 

Gawd, We're all getting old. Kevin is start to look like a clean shaven Jim.

 

It might just be the best bike ever, but damn is it ugly.

 

KS34 is only 52 years old....he looks about 10 years older than that. Especially standing next to a 53 year old Brad Pitt, 54 year old Tom Cruise or 55 year old Clooney.

Has he been through like a rough divorce or something?

 

Schwantz didn't have a stunt double to step in and take his lumps for him. He had to ride out all those crashes on his own.

 

If crashes make you look older then Travis Pastrana's f@*ked! And I guess Alvaro Bautista while we're at it

 

He also probably hasn't given enough of a shit about his looks to have several cosmetic surgeries. Everyone looks the same when the helmets are on, the same can't be said about when the cameras are on.

 

Hey now...I am pretty sure Pitt did all of his own reading while narrating Hitting the Apex.

 

He raced 500 two strokes to their absolute limit.

Have you seen any champion's hair turn grey before retirement since Mick Doohan? Exactly.

 

you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

 

That's how you knows it's a true Suzuki

 

That .....and the recalls.

You think they make the recall notices before they design/make the part that will fail??

 

Anyone have a line on how a racer can pick one up in the US in the next 8 weeks? I'm guessing "no", but figured someone here might know.

 

Is it available anywhere yet?
