Monday Night Cruise / Tried a GSXR - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

**Trapper** · 08-15-2005, 10:00 PM

I rode an 05 GSXR 750 tonight for about 20 minutes. Wow, quite an experiance, I only had it to 60mph on the back roads. It was uncomfortable at first, not to mention the excruciating painful cramp I got in my hip, but once I started squeezing the tank and taking the weight of my hands it was some fun. (I still prefer cruisers , but it would be nice to have both. Here's some pics. Check out the 91 nighthawk, man it was clean as a whistle.

Hey, that Nighthawk's my old bike! Well, not that one, but exactly like it! Those things always seem to look clean for some reason. What a great, mediocre machine!

I know that hip cramp. It occasionally shows up while riding after a particularly tough day at work.

Thanks for the pics.

Looks fun! It's nice to see different types of bikes in a group like that.

When pigs fly. I wouldn't mind a SV or Bandit sister though. I've got $200 in accessories tied up in the Marauder.

I was immunised for ZD as a baby.

Nice one man. That's the thing about bike swapping it always leaves you a little more interested in looking into something else, and yeah that is a clean looking Nighthawk. That was almost my first bike, but went w/ the Seca instead. I still think they are clean looking rides, nothing fancy just a pure and simple motorcycle.
