Finally got my approval, having sold two bikes last month(cbr600rr and vtx 1300) and still have them show as an open loan on my credit report gave me hard time on getting approved for my new baby. I can probably pick up my bike tomorrow. Gotta go and sign papers and the bike gotta get pdi'ed.
It is the GSX-R1000 k5 in Blue/White(fastest color). It came today to the dealership. Has my name written on it all over.
I'am Sooooo happy!
Matt.

 

I picked up the bike yesterday, so far this is a great bike.
For reference I owned 01 and 03 Gsxr1000's and 02 R1.
This is completely a different animal. It really handles like a 600.
Torque is amazing, it pulls strong right from idle. I didn't had the chance to test
top end b/c of the break in,but I don't think I'll be dissapointed.
This is my first bike with slipper clutch, confidence level is at the highest.
Only thing I can say is just hold on to the handle bars strongly and just point it to whereever you want to go.
Now Cons: I didn't like the mirrors. they don't have the best vision.
the exhaust can is weird. it will be changed with the new yoshi trc.

 

I picked up my GSX-R 1000 K5 last week, black/grey. It is a great bike! I haven't quit got the first 500 miles of it yet so haven't top ended it yet ether. And can't figure out how to adjust in those mirrors yet ether. Hold on and have fun!

 

The design is growing on me. I can get either Honda or Suzukis at dealer cost but I'm sticking with my Hondas for now.

Ride Safe

 

Good for you...

 

I just picked one up today, yellow/ black.
for referece I owned CBR 900rr, 929rr and 954rr.
all I can say for now is that this bike feels different. the handle bar kinda vibrates if you put some speed on
does it ever occur to anyone that this bike sounds like a ducati 999?
I would appreciate if someone would share his suspension setting.
