Default New K8 GSX-R 1000 (No 56k)

So I went out this weekend and bought the bike that I have been looking at for the past few months. It is a brand new 2008 left over from last year, so I was able to get it for a really good deal.

I have a few minor plans for the bike in the near future. I will be getting a new exhaust to get rid of the hideous pipes on there now. I will also be getting a fender eliminator and smoked windscreen, along with some other minor things.

man.. that exhaust is ugly... lol.... Get a tinted / smoked double bubble you will like it alot more. You should have a stock steering stabilizer... so you should be ok.. there.. I would put some thicker oil in it.. but that is just me. And look into some adjustible levers... they are GREAT!

Looks good.. hope its not your first bike.. alotta bike for a beginner. Be careful and ride safe

Not a fan of GSX-Rs but it's look pretty cool...I guess.

New bikes are always to drool over though. :P

Jealous. I love the 07 - 08 GSXR 1000's. You'll find a lot of people on here who don't like GSXR's, but don't worry about them. 07 600 here!

A friend had an 07 1000, with just a slip on he put down 172hp (IIRC) on a very conservative dyno.

I'm not partial to the blue and white but it looks great!

Looks good. Better add frame sliders to the top of that list, everyone should

Yea... I'm not really a fan of motorcycles in general... except mine, but I guess it is okay..



Back to reality, sweet looking ride! Have fun and be safe!
