I was looking for a companion for my Raptor to play around with, so I did only what was necessary. I considered getting another Raptor, came very close to getting a DS650, nope.... I decided to get the 2000 Motorcycle bike of the year and runner-up of 2001 bike of the year...The GXR-750!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] No brand loyality over here, just like the best!!!!!

good job on the GSX-750 those are my fave crotch rockets in the world. what color did u get? i love the yellow and black ones!

 

i came close to getting that new fz1 by yamaha. all new for this year. wonder if they are having any first year problems with it like the raptor?

 

The fzi is just a slightly de-tuned r1 with no fairings.

 

yeah the fz1 sucks! i hate naked street bikes. i'd rather just have a power cruiser or somethin...

 

Sweet bike. A friend of mine just got the new GSX-R 1000. Man he said it puts out like 150 something horsepower at the rear wheel, and the thing only weighs 375lbs. or something like that. My god that must be a rocket...and to think it's not the fastest one out there.

 

I had to go with the Blue/White one. Suzuki is one hell of a Corp. with their sportbikes. The Hayabusa[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] GSX-R1000[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]& my favorite GSX-R750[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img].Don't get me wrong I'll always be an atv person forever, but I think my Raptor is going to be sold....

Maxima,
Exellent choice on your new bike. Earlier this year I picked up a 2001 GSXR600 and I'm loving it. They are awsome machines. After reading your post and I just had to tell you about http://www.gixxer.com I used to read it religously until I got the ATV bug. Now I spend just about all my net time reading this forum and picking up news and reviews where ever else I can find it. I'm thinking about getting a Arctic Cat 500i manual sometime early next year.

Anyhow, enjoy the bike,

PS. Piranha your buddy's GSXR1000 pretty much is the fastest bike going. The Hyabusy may have a couple mph's on the top end but the GSXR will get there faster. I heard someone at the bike shop yesterday say the GSXR will accelerate to 170 faster than the busa...but the busa does finally catch up and pass. When you get up to bikes being this fast, its not who has the faster bike, it comes down to who has the most ballz. Personally I have no interest EVER seeing 170mph on a bike but to each his own.

 

i bet those 1300 hayabusa's really get around. also kawi ninja 1200 man those things are fast i bet. i went to a motor cycle show last year and i saw all the crotch rocets and got to sit on em and stuff they were niiiice. there are 2 people that i know well in my neighborehood that have 1000's. ones a GSX and the others a ZX. their saweet.

 

my brother had a Honda RC-51.. fastest stock bike in the world.. that thing would haul *****!
