I don't care what bikes came before or after the K5-6 GSXR1000. They will always hold thier own place in history. The bike was incredible then and still is now. The last of the raw, analog bikes before the gadgets took over. Throw your leg over it, start it and warm it up. Ride it to the best of your abilities. Your limit will be reached far before you ever reach the limits of the bike. No electronic gadgetry, not even a hydraulic clutch. It only weighed 6 lbs. more than the 750. If you have ever ridden one for more than a test ride, or swapping bikes for a few miles with a friend, you will know and appreciate how perfect Suzuki got it right those two years.
K5/6 have a hydraulic clutch, look at the clutch cover (right side), there is no clutch shaft and lever on it, clutch shaft come from left to right through primary gear shaft and it is hydro driven. Great bike with only one small problem, twin spar alu frame is prone to cracks around steering head, it was an official recall by Suzuki, front brakes are really wooden with no initial bite.
@@branko917 I think I may have been to assuming in my description. The actuation of my clutch lever to my clutch fork is cable operated, no hydraulic type of slave.
@@branko917 also, it did have a recall for the frame reinforcement or replacement as well as the brake master cylinder. Both were still promptly addressed on my K61000 bike when I took it out of storage after 11 years in 2019
i have a gsxr 1000 k5 love it will never sell it i also wondered why they seem so rattly apparently the older models had on the side of the cylinder head a rubber plug with a bolt through it which sound deadens engine noise but the k5 k6 didnt have this bolt fitted maybe less weight not sure why

I've been driving a 2005 GSX-R 1000 K5 for 18 years and I'm still as happy as the first day. super machine
Don't sell it, you will regret it if you buy a new bike.
@@Cool07R6SRider You are absolutely right. :)
You should be happy as it’s faster than a Ducati V4 😂
K5-k6 proud owner here. I got the black k6 1000 with red outlines, loved it since I got it last year. Staying with me forever. K5-k6 for life
Had my K5 1000 for 3 weeks, best bike I have ever owned in 30yrs and many bikes, just awesome engine huge grunt everywhere, handles so well.
