Default Yea, I'm a horsepower junkie

I couldn't help myself, picked up one of these Saturday.
A 2007 Suzuki GSXR1000, 162 rwhp, over 100mph in 1st gear, 14000 rpm redline.
My wife says I won't make it a week before I start modifying it.
She's probably right.

that is a sick piece of machinery... knowing that they can be turbocharged ill put my money on your wife being right though, so enjoy the bike while its still assembled! I personally havent ridden either the 06 or 07 gsxr, but the power to weight ratio is so out of this world, my best advice is be carefull of both your self and your drivers licence.

Jeff has done some professional racing on bikes, so I'm sure he knows how to throw one around.

Over 100 in first gear?

A friend's '06 Gixxer 1000 I rode topped out at *ONLY* 96mph in first gear according to the GPS.



Have fun with the thing, they're a blast for sure.
