Arrow * My Buddies sick GSXR 1000 (no 56K)

I'm sure most of you haven't seen the pics of my drivetrain in the Eastern Section out. Check it out here https://ls1tech.com/forums/eastern-members/351655-official-drivetrain-carnage-pictures-entertaining-56k-don-t-bother.html

While I was at the shop I decided to take a few pics of my buddies bike. Just about everything is chrome. The swing arm is extended 12 inches. The single-sided swingarm and wheels cost him over $7K dollars. Paint was done by friends at Amherst Street Collision/Custom.

It's obviously much more amazing in life, than in picture. But here they are anyhow. These were just a few quick snap shots, as I was busy fixing my toilet of an automobile.

Oh, and yes, that is a 300 rear tire








Next mods are: Air suspension, a turbo , AND Nitrous.
Nastiest bike in New England says me

Just some guys bike from Rock Falls Dragway in Wis. There is a bottle on this bike, u can kinda see it between the tire and rear shock. Not sure if this bike was having problems, but this thing was running low 11's only. I have two of his runs on film to prove the times.

to put it bluntly... I guess so. I don't care for it at all for a number of reasons:

-1 Way too much chrome
-2 Rear tire isn't needed. You can tell how much of it he actually uses. I believe it's called the scrub radius er sumthin which is the absolute most of the tire that gets used in leaning situations. You can see from the picthat he doesn't use much of it which equally in more unsprung weight which kills power.
-3 Paint is overkill. What happens when he lays it down??

I think there was somethin else but I can't remember. Anyways, this is just my opinion so I'm sorry if anyone gets offended!!!

P.S. My favorite place for bikes is http://www.nlrsystems.com/

This isn't his only bike... It will be in a few magazines VERY shortly. Scrub radius? It's a show bike. The thing can do a burnout through 3rd gear over a 100mph... He's already on his 3rd tire. 300 tire rob power??? Who cares, its a GSXR1000, that's the last thing one would have to worry about on that bike.

He had a Honda 954RR before, not as radical as this one. Extended arm, but was double sided and such. Sold it for $19K.

He's already had more than a few offers over $20k on this one, but it's too nice. Next year he'll have the new model GSXR 1000 with a 330 rear tire.
He has a GSXR 1000 bone stock, and a GSXR 600 as well.

I mean everyone has their own oppinion. But regardless, it's a piece of art. The bike was stripped down completely and put back together by him and his buddy.

putting a 300 tire on a bike is like putting 315's on a civic. Unnecessary and hideous.

In your oppnion maybe. When it's a show bike, I don't see how. A big tire on a muscle car= bad ***, a big tire on a chopper = badass, a big tire on a $30k dollar show bike = badass.

You've voiced your oppinion, and I think that's great. Unfortunately, it means nothing to me. It's a sick bike, with lots of time, and money put into it.

Opinions are like ********....

That bike is bad ***. At least it doesn't look like every other ******* GSX-R or bullet bike out there. That bike would turn heads anywhere it goes. Kudos to your friend.

[QUOTE=BAD *** TA WS6]A big tire on a muscle car= bad ***[QUOTE]

because the entire tire is actually functional.. i agree that many show cars or bikes for this matter are nice but im not much of a show person. I would rather have my vehicle perform but if you can get it to look nice and perform good at the same time then you're doing something right. But in this case with this bike, the tire is a bit too wide and the chrome is overdone. Everyone has their likes and dislikes though.

some one has sand in their vagina....

It's a show bike.....keyword being:show

I personally like it, it probably looks alot bigger than normal since it's a single sided swing-arm.

That's what I said Astro. It's a MIG high mount limited edition pipe though. He had one on his 954RR too. It won't matter when the turbo goes on anyhow, since it will be a straight shot right out of the fairing. I think it will clean up the bike A LOT.

It definately does turn heads everywhere. Basically pull up to a club and pick which girl you want to bring home...

If someone took a Z06, threw on a set of 22's, put on a hideous ground effects kit, tinted the window's green, and did everything possible to ruin the handling of the car, and then went on to tell you "it's a show car." You would tell them it looked like **** and they just ruined a factory perfect machine. that is what this person has done; taken one of the best handling, fastest street machines out there and ruined every characteristic that made the Gixxer 1K the legend that it is.

If that was directed at me then you might want to read my sig.
