2004 gsxr 1000

[rider76]

Well, its time the 1000 finds a new home. I had three bikes and this is the last one. I am selling them to fund a new bike, something sport touring in nature. I am not certain what the new one will be, but this has gotta go first.

Has flush mount front turn signals
LED tail light with the turn signals built in.
fender eliminator.
New back tire with about 60 miles on it.
Engine ice coolant
after market wind screen

The mileage is about 3500.. not exact miles, but I am out of town. can check when I get home tomorrow.

3732


3733


Pictures are probably not the best, but its all I have on this puter... Going to put it up on CL.. ask $5500. If anyone is interested let me know

[rider76]

Sold

Nice work. but 3500 miles on an 04?? did you ever ride the damn thing?

I had 2 bikes before I got this one. Although it was fast as fuck, it wasn't very comfortable to ride. I mainly rode my 600 and my motocross bike. I tracked it a couple times and It was a great bike.

However, with my shoulder and knee fucked up, a race replica just wasn't doing it anymore. I am to the point where I no longer desire to see how fast I can run a lap, just wanna ride...So a sport tourer seems like the likely choice.

[Cutty72]

Understandable. So what do you have in mind?

[rider76]

I don't know, no cruisers...just not my thing.... I have been surfing the web checkin out bikes. but nothing catches my eye... any suggestions?

[Cutty72]

Depends on how much "sport" and how much "touring" you want, and if you want any dual sport/adventure thrown in.

Busa/ZX14
Bandit 1250
FZ1/FZ6
Buell Ulysses
KTM Adventure

Honda Interceptor?? A friend of mine who lives near you has one and absolutely loves it.

Bike was gorgeous by the way.

connie 14. big, comfy, and still fast as fuck. available in black this year

[rider76]

There's a dealer in St louis that will sell me a brand new 08 zx14 for 8000. I just don't care much for the styling of it...

I am looking at Busas and the bandit...never thought about Buell, have to go by the stealer and check it out.. I think they let you test ride them.... Hows your Buell treating you?

Me loves my Buell!

It could make an okish touring bike with convertabars and a DB screen, and possibly a more comfy seat. Biggest prob is the 140 mile range. :idk:
It's a typical twin though, great torque and rideable power everywhere.

[Dnyce]

holy shit you sold that fast

[rider76]

are aftermarket parts plentiful?

[Cutty72]

Found a pic of one from a badweb member. Put on hard bags, corbin seats, and a tank bag.

[rider76]

I put it on CL and got emails in about 10 mins....One guy says he has cash in hand, so I called my wife and brother and they met him..worked out the deal.. got the full 5500 for it..

That could work. When I get back home gonna stop by the stealer

[Porkchop]

Go with the VFR800 or the ZX/Connie

You should be able to steal any left over 08's they may have. And as long as the recalls/ECM flashes have been done, it should be as good as an 09. (plus you get the cool blue frame/swingarm and anny edition)

Super clean bike...congrats on the sale. Definately check out the Buells. They will let you demo them too. Report back with your findings.

Got back into town today. Went by the closest Buell dealer ( which is 20 miles from my house. Harley dealers every fuckin 20 ft but none sell Buells)

Store was pretty busy (they also sell Harleys). I go inside and talk to the sales guy. They have two 2008s and 10 2009s 1125r. The best they will do is knock $1000 off an 08 and $300 off an 09.

So I ask him if I can test ride it? He says "well dude, its cold outside...kinda windy...if you want to write up a deal first, I can get a plate"

I told him that I wasn't buying dick till I test ride. Then he says he is new and has to ask his manager. I said fuck it and left.

So, friday I am going to a different Buell dealer , then look at the Busas and a connie.

If you can't get an 08 for under 10 OTD try somewhere else.
There are guys on badweb picking them up for 9K + TTL in places.

Well...now you've seen first hand the shittyness of the typical Buell dealer. Most of the HD guys dont give a fuck about Buells. Go to a different dealer. They will let you test ride it. That is a fact.

Also...some dealers are selling 08 1125's for 7995 + tax...so look for a solid deal...not just a grand off.

[rider76]

Marko, do you where the dealers are that sell for 8k?

[No Worries]

A used Blackbird is very fast, smooth, and comfortable. They go for $3500-5000 in my area.

[Dave]
