Brought a new bike a few months ago. Sold my blue and white GSXR1000K2 to my brother in-law and got a newGSXR1000K4Z Limited edition. There are 400 in the UK and 250 in Canada. Anyone else got one? It's pretty cool!

gixerman · 11-01-2004, 03:10 PM

Hello Mate, they say there's 400 I only have another 385 to see. I've done over 5k on it now but its getting a bit cold and as soon as the salt comes out that will be it until next year.

Ride-or-die · 11-01-2004, 03:20 PM

yeah we've had a nice couple of days lately, yesterday SUN was a lovely day for a ride, you have a local forum that arranges ride outs, im a member of the essex biker forum, its great to arrange meets

gixerman · 11-01-2004, 03:31 PM

i BELOMG TO A LOCAL CLUB BUT THEIR IDEA OF A RIDEOUT AND MINE AREN'T ALWAYS THE SAME. IF I WANTED TO RIDE AT 50-60 I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT A 125. I HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS FROM KENT AND ESSEX AND WE MEET UP AND GO TO BRIGHTON ON A SUNDAY FOR BREAKFAST OR SOMETHING. ALSO EOROPE EVERY YEAR SO YOU CAN REALLY USE IT HOW IT WAS MEANT TO BE USED. I KNOW ITS NOT BIG AND NOT CLEVER JUST GOOD FUN!

Ride-or-die · 11-01-2004, 03:36 PM

ease up on the shouting,LOL.

noi know what you mean mate, we're trying to arrange a trip to france or italy for next summer would be great. where have you been? we could arrange one huge ride-out.

your mates from essex are they a member of my forum? cos a couple of people go riding in kent with some mates quite often

themeatmanlandry · 11-01-2004, 03:38 PM

CAPS LOCK!!

UK . . . I can find that on a map . . . you turn left at France, right?

I was going to visit the UK once . . . I couldn't spell it, though, so I wasn't able to get a passport.

**inspiron** · 11-01-2004, 03:47 PM

I wanted to go to the UK, but landed in Great Britian. Then I wanted to go to Holland and landed in the Netherlands. Then I wanted to go to San Marino and landed in Italy.

Someone should update those darn maps, I tell you!

gixerman · 11-01-2004, 04:04 PM

Last year we went to France , Switzerland, Monaco and Italy. This year France, Spain and Andorra its all cool and your best staying off the motorways and on the N roads where there's not so much police pressents. The lads I go with ride fast but be warned it hasn't been without casualties. This year in Spain 1x written off Kawasaki ZX12 (rider ok) time before that 1x written off Busa (rider in hospital 2mths) time before that 1x ducati monster 1x fireblade (both ok in fastbikes mag sept 04) before that 1x Aprilla MillieR (rider ok) Moto of the story always ride with people of equal ability and don't crash! Its not big and its not clever just good fun!

blaine · 11-01-2004, 04:09 PM

Adrenalin_Junky · 11-01-2004, 07:57 PM

stevie c · 11-02-2004, 02:23 PM

Here is a link to all gixer 1000's from 2001 and including next years bike,

Not too sure about the stubby exhaust but I guess the underseat style has been done to death now.

Gixxerdale · 11-02-2004, 10:01 PM
