Think I may have found my trackbike

[johnnyontherocks]

I had found a 04 Gixxer 600 near my house. I talked to the guy on friday and had planned to get it this week if it had checked out alright. All be damned he sold it yestarday. After looking every where I could I think I found the winner,
Suzuki : GSX-R | eBay

I've talked to the owner and struck a deal with him taking the KTM at about the price I was going to sell it for. So hopefully tomorrow I will have a track bike and next tuesday take it for a run around thunderbolt.

looks good. No mirrors or visible signals, was it set up for track already?

Had a black 07 and loved it but with my bad back it had to go. Though I am now thinking about picking up another tacking on some Heli bars and see how it goes! Good luck with the new toy!

He has started. Full race fiberglass. Rear sets with GP option and a Ohlins steering damper.

Looks sweet Johnny! I say go for it if you can swing it. The "all black" looks awesome.

RE: WOW !! I like it !

All BLACK and the bad-a$$ race look is awesome. Great looking ride Johnny ! Ahhh , , ,, to be 25 years younger . . . . .:wow:

Sounds good. That's a better choice than the 04. The 06 has a gear indicator and slipper clutch.

Toight! Good luck with it if you get it.

RE: Track

Ha ! My track days are over my friend. But, give me a weekend at Deal's Gap, a box of bandaids, and a bottle of fine Malibu Rum and we'll see what we can do ! heh,heh,
If fact, I'm looking forward to the day when you get your new RIDE and we can have us some fun on the Dragon next season. ... . !:cheers:

Now that sounds like a great idea!!!

Go for it Johny!!!
All black is a badass track bike. Plus the previous owner has given you a good start. The title situation will give you a much better price.
I say it's a winner

You do realize that you will have to break your 5k limit on the track? Or suffer the wrath of being lapped by the pit scooter ....
