got a trade offer
i have a guy wanting to trade his 02 gsxr 1000 for my 05 gsxr 600.
BUT!!!!!!! he says this: "its a 02 1000, has power commander3, full yoshi, just got 600 dollar plastics, needs tires, chain, windscreen, blinkers, headlight, and taillight, and needs a new battery the on i have it too big."
he says the bike runs great just mainly needs tires. my bike has absolutely zero probs what so ever.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?????

why trade for someone else's problems , when your bike is fine
idk thats what i do not get. he said why am i not wanting to trade?? its a 1000, its screaming fast when u own a 600 it looks for speed...lol
its being turned back into a bike from a streetfighter. so the tailight thats on it is off a 05(like mine) so it dont fit the tail. and he's got a headlight but it isnt bright he says
the only reason why im wanting opinions is because ive been wanting a 1000 due to riding for 2 years now and wanting to move up
save some money and trade in
hard to do so when ur jobless lol. but ok thanks scots
on that note , your bike rides fine as it sits , you trade with him (which needs work) and the being jobless factor plays a major roleOriginally Posted by clumsy_smurf
oh yea i know. i told him that. u need money if u own a bike lol
Don't trade. Keep yours.
If you think that the 600 is too slow, then you need to get on the track. The 1000 will just have more torque, which is nice to have, but you will be just fine with the power of a 600.

This also, i like liter bikes better but not because of being faster. I like the low end power and being able to short shift riding normal. when it comes to speed, i doubt youre able to ride to the full potential of your 600, so there's no reason to get a 1k.
My sportbike is an f4i..... one of the slowest ones you can buy.... but theyre durable and reliable. On my f4i i consistently out run my friend's 08 GSXR600 anytime we ride hard. I'm not even a good rider, probably below avg..... point is... the difference between a liter bike and a 600 is close enough for the rider to make the difference. When a 600 races a 1000, the better rider wins. This is often the case with any bike. picture below, the red bike outruns the blue bike. How fast the bike itself is doesnt matter, how fast are *YOU*

I had my '08 GSXR 600 at the track (1/8th mile) running against all liter bikes... I was being made fun of because my liter gsxr was staying beside/being beat by cbrs and r1s...
lol.
Now when I ran a REALLY good rider on a slightly modded newer CBR1000rr, I wanted to sell my bike and go buy a Hayabusa.

i loved my 600, perfect for my size, and its not cheap to get all those parts, especially when you have no job man. and if its needing a chain, then you should look into the sprockets and stuff too, make sure its mechanically sound.
oh yea i know. onced a chain goes the sprockets will too. my 06 zx6r did that too me..i learned a good bit off that bike
Don't trade. Why was it a street fighter? Was it wrecked? If it is in street fighter form, obviously it was rode hard. Sounds like he is putting a wrecked bike back together with random parts.
Liter bikes are fun but going from a newer 600 to an older liter bike is a downgrade IMO. Keep yours and trade up to a newer 1000 if that's the size you want.
he said the 1000 was a stunt bike yes. i love my 600 but, i wanted to go up to 1000 sooner or later. but thanks to yalls very slick way of convincing me to keep dumblebee....ill keep her lol
i wouldnt go anywhere near a stunt bike..... and if i was going to go anywhere near a stunt bike, i damn sure wouldnt get a gixxer stunt bike........
Any bike that was or is a street fighter is because it was beat to shit. Any bike that has had the fairings replaced, it was because it was wrecked. If he spent $600 on fairings, they were made in china, if they were made in china, theyre probably gonna warp and melt and probably fit like shit.
You never trade a newer bike for an older bike. save your money, buy the bike you want.
ninja 250 outrunning liter bikes at the track.
duh ninjas are the shit! lol i will always go for kawasaki than any other motorsport company
i was only wanting to upgrade to a 1000 because my 600 too me is small. i wanted something a little bigger. for me it aint about speed, ive been riding for 2 years now im in it for the ride and to get out and forget about the world lol and to me i think i need something bigger since i also look like a little giant on my 600 haha.
Honestly, if you are in it to ride out and forget about the world, and you want a bigger bike, get a cruiser. I traded my fun-to-ride stretched 600 to a 1600 Vulcan cruiser. I don't regret it. Eventually, i will get a Ducati 848 to add to my collection but I am perfectly content with a 1600cc V-twin.
i agree but! i will never get a bike like that. not to offend anyone but im just not into them type bikes. idk why i just like street bikes overall than cruisers
you gotta ride the right one. I absolutely hated Harleys until the moment i sat on one.
I like the bigger heavier sportbikes too, look into early 2000 Hondas.
agreed. i just hate the sounds. plus the south park (fag!) episode made me think differently of them haha
Go ride one and then get back to me on this. Goin down a long stretch of highway on your harley with the cruise control on, leaned back with your hands in your lap...... kicks the shit out of riding a crotch rocket.
the way i see it, harleys are vehicles, crotch rockets are toys. When i want to play.... i get on my sportbike....
So much truth. Although my cruiser is a land yacht in comparison to your Harley, they are of the same comfort level.
Sounds like you need a sport touring bike then. Looks like a sportbike, better comfort than a cruiser.

yea i know what ur talking about...
sounds good! btw..keeping the 600 not trading for a busted 1000
haha i would say dont do that. just because imo the busa's are wayyyy over rated and heavy ive heard.
I weigh around 150. With a good single exhaust, there won't be a difference in your average rider on a liter bike, but more horses and way more comfortable ride.

theres no possible way you could make this bike any uglier.
If I didn't like to race motorcycles, I'd still want a busa.
'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx
i wouldnt buy a busa if they did 300mph in reverse and came with a 10 year subscription to playboy and 2 free trips to the bunny ranch.............
busa is the ugliest piece of machinery that man has ever constructed. I want to throw up when i look at a busa. I hate all Gixxers just because theyre the company responsible for the busa.
hahahaha! enough said. what about the kawasaki zx14r?
ugly piece of shit, but not as bad as the busa.... only because NOTHING is as bad as the busa.
Why all the hate towards the zx-14? Tell me why you think they are ugly pieces of shit. And tell me how your F4i outshines either one of the two stated above.
f4i looks 10x better than a zx-14 or busa. I could ride a huffy bike with a blender motor on it to power the wheels, that still entitles me to have an opinion.
but....... even though you asked a pointless question that was only aimed at discrediting my opinion, i'll still offer you an answer.
F4i is notorious for being reliable and durable against abuse. It's larger and heavier than newer 600s and is more balanced and road friendly vs being twitchy and light for racing purposes. F4i is a much more comfortable street ride than an RR regardless of which one is faster. I could throw an f4i off the top of my house, pick it back up and ride it. Do that with a GSXR. F4i is cheap and readily available. I can abuse my f4i endlessly with the comfort of knowing that it's arguably the most durable sportbike ever made, it has the size and balance of an older bike, but was one of the first bikes to have modern amenities like fuel injection.and fuck it, if it breaks ill buy another one. F4i is one of the easiest bikes to wheelie, which combined with the aformentioned reliability, makes it the most popular stunt bike.
You're attempting to insult me for riding one of these....... you kids buying busas and zx14s because of their advertised speeds that you will never reach are worrying about the size of your dick when you're beating off.
to make a long story short, i think theyre ugly pieces of shit because theyre ugly pieces of shit.
Respect for backing it up (even though if you like it, you like it, and that's that.)f4i looks 10x better than a zx-14 or busa. I could ride a huffy bike with a blender motor on it to power the wheels, that still entitles me to have an opinion.

IDC about top speed, but I love to drag race. Between the aftermarket support, tech support from other riders, the style, potential as a drag bike, and the reliability, I'd love to own a Hayabusa.
