When I was a kid a group of guys used to wheelie gsxrs and r6s like this through my neighborhood. Those were the coolest guys on the planet to my friends and I
It's a good skill
This feels like gixxer got his dream bike the way he talks about it and rides it, so congratulations bruh it’s a beautiful bike.
If you do a build series I think you can get a lot of traffic. That’s something I’d definitely want to see.
Sure are alot of winners
😂 almost like it’s a scam or something 😂 see how he keeps changing the name too because after reporting him after so long he loses the channel and has to rename it.
@@Gixxerbrah Gizzerbrah🤣
Love this video hated that I got scammed. Downloaded that Telegram crap and everything but not silly enough to share any important info. Should have known it wasn't you Brah! 🫠🖤🏍️💨
For sure. Who gets into bikes without getting into wanting to build them.....
This is hilarious, I just bought a gsxr 1000 2006 yesterday. It’s my first sports bike, super excited 😁
Are you still alive?
Any well maintained 17 or so year old bike really isn't that old. 03-09 is the best era of bikes honestly.
Edit* 03-09 is the best era for sportbikes***
Maybe for Sportbikes. But for Enduros/Dualsports/Adv Bikes (a Term that wasn't that common in that Time :D) it was pure Hell.
And apart from Sportbikes, horrible roundish plastic "future" y2k Designs.
@Kapitaenosavrvs you're 110% right. Those dirt bike wild west days of the 80s-99 were insane! Too bad I only caught the tail end of that era..
Yup you're def right. My first bike was an 04 cbr f4i , gawwd that thing was so much fun
To this day nothing looks as good as a K4 to me.
Agree my 2003 r6 was the best bike i ever had. I own bmw ans aprilia now but plan to add an r6 back to the collection
My k6 gixxer 1000 has been sitting in the garage for years. This video has motivated me to get back on the saddle.
Early 2000 Gsxr1000 are just unbelievable bikes, way ahead of the curve then and still a major competitor today
That's why I love my 05 CBR 1000rr because it's just so raw and there's nothing holding the bike back except for the rider, I'm glad I bought an older bike! I really want to buy an older GSXR now.
Congrats.
Very beautiful motorcycle.
Most of the bikes you thrash are much younger with far less miles.
Please go through this thing and make sure the engine and oil seals are up to your standards.
Last place you want an 17 years old oil seal to blow out is going 200 miles per hour.
You might want to check the cam chain and chain guides for slop too
I see what you are saying about the gearing.
It looks like the bike is geared more for interstate cruising not acceleration.
I saw it being just a little slower then the bikes you regularly thrash off the line but damn, not by much.
New chain and sprockets gives you a definite idea when they were installed and the quality of those parts too.
Someone else in the comments section says they think the steering head bolt is not aligned right so it's a fun fest of getting things on this bike up your Gixer brah standards.
Gotta check the grease in the 17 year old wheel bearings too.
You put your life on the line and nothing can be left to chance.
I look forward to the video where you show off the new brakes.
I will miss you riding the smaller bikes because you sure rode them like you were running through traffic in your track shoes at 180 miles per hour.
Congrats Gixer , on your new classic rocket ship.
Enjoy.
I just bought an '07 GSXR 750. It's in pristine condition and fast as hell. I absolutely love it. Much faster than I need to be and SOOOOO smooth.
Miss my 05. Was such a great bike. That SC is the right exhaust for that too. Sounds good and looks killer. Excited for you brother 🏍🏁
I'm not a jealous man by nature, but I gotta' say that I'm envious of having the skills to justify owning/riding one of the baddest sport bikes in history. ...If you can legitimately ride a ZX-11, CBR 954, original gen R1, ZX10, and an '08 GSX-R, you wear the crown. Good work 🤛
;)
I had an 04 R1 and currently have a 06 z1000. Those early 2000s bikes are a whole different beast than modern liter bikes! The z1 is such a unique experience ill buy other bikes but ill never get rid of that one.
@@xprox4185 if by different u mean slower then yes.
@@Adrenalean767 🤣 theirs always gonna be something faster my friend. Sometimes thats not what's important.
@@xprox4185 sure thing brother
I have a k6 since 2006 and can't get rid of it for all the things you mentioned. Look forward to the build.
Suzuki sells adrenalin. Ducati sells beauty. Kawi sells precision. Yamaha sells fun. The rest are just other choices of the same.
Honda sells quality. Harley devidson sells big ol' murican patriotism.
@@headhunter531 ever changed a spark plug on a Honda 😂
@user4269 true
@user4269 i know. 😂
Damn... I thought they sold motorcycles
I’ve had my K5 1000 for 5 years. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Never selling it. Great video brah 👍
You ever go down on a black man?
Sounds amazing. Can’t wait to watch the vids you do in Colorado and around your area. Get it, brah!! 🤘
Man I have a 2006 modified FZ1S and I tell you, it is nutty fast... has a real good remap on it... sounds amazing, puts out amazing power... and no crazy electronics... no ABS. no traction. no anti-wheelie... it is so much fun! If you really slap the throttle, the front wheel comes up in a controlled manor on its own... it is so much fun! great to see you enjoying an older bike! (next part for gixxer, stop reading if you are not gixxer!... I have a vod if you wanted to see of my bike😁)
Literally bought a pristine 04 Yamaha R1 a month ago and I love it. 18 year old bike. 13k miles. But it was my dream bike when I was younger. Already been modding the shit out of it!
it is at least 130k miles
I bought a 04 750 2 years ago. I fucking love it. It feels so good around corners and shit. I can't even put into words how good and comfortable I feel on the bike compared to others I've ridden. if you ever make it out to Oregon I'll show you some awesome roads, view points and you can crash on my couch lol stay safe brah. congrats on 100k
Imo I think the 750 is the greatest period...look at the current generation. 11 years and suzuki still haven't update SHIT..lol..and I'm noooot mad at all..I could care less about rider aides.. I started riding in the 2000s ,none of that existed so I got use to it... the 1000s are just violently fassst..the 750 is smooooth fassst..I don't mind working that gear box... stay safe bro!! Gsxr gang!!
05-06 gsxr1000 is the definition of Supersport. I ride a street triple but man those liter bikes are tempting.
Glad to see you back on a GSX-R
me too. one of my fav videos is the trip to colorado on the old gixxer.
The SC project exhaust sounds so so so good bike looks pretty good aside from some of the little scratches I saw on it it’s definitely a 10 for me
This is why I love my 05 cbr600f4i. No restrictions, nothing holding me back to blast down the highway!
This is why we buy older motorcycles! no emissions no throttle bodies only the rider is holding this bike back or wide open it’s your choice
Got a K6 GSXR 1000 best bike ever
I got a 99 r1 love it nothing bad about the old bikes still ride strong and fun
My friend use to have a 99 R1 with full race exhaust, till today my favorite sounding bike.
I use to have the 06 in blue and white. Gorgeous bike and my favorite for a long time.
Heyy braaahs. Old bikes are where it's at, my 01 TL1000 still kickin ass
I bought a K6 1000 a month ago, literally has been my favorite bike out of the 8 I've owned, the RAW power, the look, the feel of it is perfect to me, can't wait for the footage to come!! 🔥
@@rudeboy7542 $6k with 14k miles
Gixxer bruh!!!! Man, how your channel grew fam. Keep bringing us that adrenaline rush!
I am 100% not a gixxer guy but dam that bike sounds amazing with that setup!
Glad to see u back on gsxr, got 750Y and 600 k8 now myself at 18 years old.
K6 1000 is a legend of a bike always will be 📦✅👍
Thanks for the content brah we love it over anything keep it up!
Ive had 4 Gixxers . The K5 was the best one and still my favorite . Theres a reason why it got the nick name Godzilla and that reason is cause nothing compared to it . Even today its still a top contender . Good choice my friend.
'04 - '05 ZX10R just entered the room... Hold my 🍺
@@bacchusthompson5834 jeeze thats funny the fastest zx10 ive seen was being towed by a GSXR . Need i say more hahaha
@@ll-nz3qn I personally haven't seen that 🤷🏾♂️
Love my K8 7Fiddy. When the Yoshi cams and the port and polish are done it is gonna be Silly. Right now it has been flashed and tuned by Chris Moore and it hold its own but once I am done with it it will be a monster! Stay safe Bruh!
Bought a K6 new and rode it in the Isle of Man for 10 years to me the only place the bike can actually be used, mods were carbon wheels (turns like a 600, improves brakes and acceleration) and a quick action throttle because half the time the only thing holding the bike back is the riders ability to open the throttle quick enough (Yamaha R1 throttle tube fits and works). Such a stable machine, dynoed at 162 BHP. Do you know these things can hit top speed (limited 189mph) in 20 seconds from a standing start and only weigh 162kg (in my case wet due to the wheels) and this is a relativity long stroke motor so pulls real hard mid range and its that mid range that dominates on the road also BMW bench marked their RR1000 on the K5 4 years after it came out!
I ride a GSXR 750 k7 I think I’d be a fool to sell it. After watching this video it reminded me what I have, good to see you back on the OG raw shit 🔥🔥
You handle that thing like a 600
currently have a k1 with 56k miles, really want a k6. k1 is nice but k6 looks much better and being only 5 years newer comes with a lot of things I want without any of the electronics/emission crap that I don't want
im happy to see another gixxer on the channel
Lucky s.o.b.! That's my dream bike. Had a k1 1k with everything MPS and Yoshi I could throw at it, including a 40 shot dry kit. Was a monster. Just wrecked my 03 Sabre 1100 four days ago. Had to have my lip stitched back on but soon as that and the road rash heal I'm looking to get back on a rocket. New sub. Keep the paint up brother!
I just recently got my forever bike, the new 23 GSX-S 1000 and what's really cool is it has this same engine. Suzuki reused the k5 gixxer 1k engine in the new redesigned gsxs and I couldn't be happier with it
I would think a 20 year old GSXR that’s in good mechanical shape and available on the cheap is absolutely a no brainer.
Yeah buddy.... My bike is 23 and still rocks
I’ve had my K7 GSXR 1k for about 1 month and I know exactly what you mean about raw power these machines are incredible
I’d have bought it to lol good to see ya back on the gixxy 🤟
That rip past the Nascar, I used to hit the same spot every week making my trips back to Houston from Colorado. Decatur is the last sketchy spot for LE. Once I hit DFW, always knew I was safe and gonna make it so absolutely rip through until I-45S.
I have a 2016. Last of the no nany gsxr 1000. It is pretty. It is fast. I geared mine with 3 teeth to the rear. It does a GPS correct speed of 155mph. It doesn't take long to get there. It wheelies in third. At 60mph in 2nd gear it wheelies from there to over 100mph. It is amazing.
About topping out 6th gear. The k5 1000 has a top speed limiter and some lower gear limiters as well! You can delete that straight in the ECU or get a healtech powerbox. Did mine with a ECU flash, runs all the rpms in 6th 😬
Pretty cool to see this build on this bike!
Man I’m excited for this build.
I have two GSXR 1000s, a K3 and K5. Both are awesome but the K5 is spectacular! Raw performance
I hope to someday have the skills to ride like you. What a beautiful bike, the older bikes are always my favourite, the new ones look ugly. As you said, the raw version of these bikes are the best. Great video, up the GSXR’s all the way brother 👍
Got a craigslist special 2009 Gsx-r 750 several months. Nothing wrong with an older bike! I'll definitely be getting an older Gsx-r 1000 when the time comes!
ADD at its finest “turtle!” 👀 I feel ya brah🤙🏼
Also I would check that steering stem nut looks a little loose 6 pointed star should point up at the cluster!
Just bought a k6 and love it…
Far better than the modern machines
You have bought an awesome bike. I have an RF 900 1996 model. Still goes like hell and a great Sport Tourer!.
The Gixxer brah is back on the Gixxer BRAHHHHH!
Sounds and feel awesome to watch bro!! Ride Safe Always LETS GOO!!
Are you clutchless up shifting? Damn it so satisfying to see people on CZcams know how to do that. You should do clutchless downshiftings too. It works pretty well on gravel roads, it doesn't locks your rear tire.
Amazing mind-blowing skills you have- Is it possible for you to make tutorials for the beginner super sport bike riders? I just started riding few months ago on a 900cc street bike and I now truly feel the need for speed. Sooner planning to purchase the GXR-1000 or Hayabusa but I'm little hesitant due to not having any skills or knowledge to ride such machines safely. I searched for videos on CZcams on this subject but didn't really find anything helpful. I really want to learn to ride like you and the many other skilled riders, but I don't know where to begin. Please consider making some tutorials to help us new riders. Thank you & have a wonderful 2023
I somehow stumbled onto these videos and I’ve always like super sport bikes despite riding only Harley’s but isn’t it crazy how a few thousand bucks can get you a 15 yr old bike that is fast than 90% of what’s on the road today 😂.
Yea those bikes are great. Lot’s of power, and the sound is beautiful.
I had a k7. Black. Was so comfortable. 45k miles but rode like new. Loved it
K5 looks smooth leaned back! Cool brah!
I had the same model which I bought new in 2007, I had the blue and white which I think is the best colour scheme for a GSX-R1000.... I sold it when it was 4 years old with only 4,000 kilometres on the clock.... It was the worst decision of my entire life. I loved that bike and I should have kept it.... NEVER sell a bike is the lesson I learnt....I now have a collection of 12 bikes but I would buy back my Gixxer given half a chance....
I love your riding style ! 👌👏 Im the same way and the plate was always on special bracket that was hidden behind the tire and bent up or down depending on the schedule.lol no cameras or anyone ever got me for speeding either! But this was 2010. And I forget the exhaust company brand name but it was just a tip on my 08' GSX-R 600 and got rid of the valve in the header & it felt like boost at 70mph+ from the forced air which equations to 7psi at 70mph all the way up to the top speed of 189 @16k redline but take it to 17k an hit 200mph. And 1-4th gear 9k-16k was power wheelies all day. 1st gear scary on a cold tire. But absolutely loved that bike and miss it more than any ex girlfriend. Anyways thanks for posting the video bruh I'm shaking just dreaming of riding right now😏😍🤯🤤💨🤌👏🤙
✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Gizxer 4life! Can't wait for the upgrade reveal.
I have a 2005 999S, the older analog bikes are something else.
Congratulations on an excellent bike purchase
Great to see you on a 1000 , They are a Handfull ! It is Nice to have a 600 and a 1000 and Switch
often It makes you a Better Rider !! Be Safe Breh !!! Arizona
LOVE THE GIXXER1000. my dad had an 06. loved that bike. i rode it a couple times when i was 18 or so
It’s quite likely that this vid represents the hardest this old bike has ever been pushed. 🔥Did that say 186 😮You are joyfully squidding the crap out of it. I’m both horrified and full of admiration.😂
Love the bike!! Def was a year unlike any other!!
No shame man...I just went from 2 90s era zx7s to an 05 zx636 the early 2000s bikes were all gas no brake and minimal tech. Pure riding
Coming from a ‘14 Zx6r 6Dirty6 rider…I’m definitely gonna miss the 6Dirty6 riding…But bruh, BRUHHH done got a K5 GIXXER BRUHHH..& I’m soo here for it bruhhh’s!!!😎🤘🏽🔥
Man that fish eye lens had me thinking you’re going off on that wheelie 😮
love ur shit man keep ur channel raw. Thats the gixxer brah style i like it. The bike feels like it matches u so fucking well love it.
Just bought a k5 1000 myself yesterday. It supposedly is bored and has aftermarket cams so we'll see what she's all about.
Gixxer Brah is the peoples champion.
Almost bought a gixxer, but man literally the one thing that steered me away is the headlight lol,
I have a 99 gsxr 600 I love it hell yea brother love the videos keep it up brah
A true icon bike…sick brah🤘🏻
Nice bike just got a yellow and black 05 last week!love it
Got a gsxr750.almost 4 yrs now ..still loving it..155 is fast enough for me. The 1000 is a rocket ,violently fasssst..bike just wanna throw u in a ditch..K5 imo is the greatest by far follow by the 04/05 zx10r..stay safe Brah💯
Well stated... K5/K6 - K7/K8 & '04/'05 ZX10R are to me, the best Liter Bikes ever produced
You'll be able to perfect it over time. Maybe even get that clutch cover chrome plated. Is it flashed yet? Schnitz Racing or Moore Mafia will be able to fix you up on a good flash for more power! I like the older bikes too, that's why I love my 2007 Hayabusa which has H.I.D.s. I like the moon-beam glow!
No chrome 🤢🤢🤢
you must be like 45 pushing 50 lol
Man, I was 67 on May 5th. I still ride a Hayabusa and a hopped up ZX-14R!
@@nitrousninja882 wanna be my grandpa
@@michaels7866, age is just a number and mine is unlisted! You've already got two Grandpa's and you don't need a third.
bought a k4 gsxr 600 that needed a little work as my first bike and I love it you have full control just raw bike
Gixxer brah is back to being a Gixxer brah
I bought a 21 yr old bike! 6,100 miles were on it! R1 2001!!! Looks new! Been happy so far! Garage kept ! Sat 5 yrs not ran etc! Who cares how old! Changed the oil & replaced the 2004 tires! Been riding & smiling like Jimmy Carter!😉🤠😂
this guy really just hit 170 for fun. you earned a new subscriber today my friend
I believe I saw 185 plus so if no sprocket it's at 180 or so if not 175💯🏍💛🔥
Absolute maniac 😂 love it subscribed 🎉
love your videos man if you come to Colorado you should do a meet up or a group ride that would be dope
Bought a 2003 1000 for my first sport bike... absolutely love it.
We are excited about the gixxer content.
Hell yea back on the gsxr
got one back in 08 . pointless, stupid, almost completely useless on the street . ..i loved every second of it . miss my 05 zuki 1k . 😄
Gixxer brah rises again
Older bikes have character 🥰
A testament to this, is I have the very bike your looking for! 2005 gixxer 1000 K5. Setup as a super stock! Carbon bodywork, Marchesini wheels, brembo/Ohlins front and rear. Never been on the street at all with 6000 miles on it.
Ooo I want that one too
