I know you just wanted to give it full throttle for more than just 3 seconds. I could feel it thousands of kilometers away from you hahaha. This bike is the bike that I want the most, the sound, the looks and the history is just perfect for me.

[@Arsgawad]

That’s a super clean ‘06!

[@andrewrose9707]

Greetings from Australia - I've had a yellow and black K5 gixxa thou for over 18 years and she is still running strong. Love it heaps and have not even been slightly tempted to "upgrade" since getting it. Prior to this bike I used to change every few years... this is a keeper!

[@GixxerJake]

Great choice man you're gonna love it... remember the 05-06 (Gen 3) is still the fastest 0-60 mph production motorcycle ever produced... 2.35 seconds

[@paytonlefevre3519]

Why would that be? I mean I ride a Gixxer and love it but it doesn’t have any electronics and is down on power compared to everything else these days

[@Gideon_Judges6]

​@@paytonlefevre3519it was very light from the factory. K7/K8 weight went up due to emissions. Change the full exhaust out on a newer GSX-R1000 so it's lighter, tune it so it doesn't run like crap, and it would be pretty good.

[@paytonlefevre3519]

@@Gideon_Judges6 understandable, but I have a hard time believing a k5 Gixxer would beat a 2023 bmw m1000rr in a 0-60

[@Gideon_Judges6]

@@paytonlefevre3519 0-60mph on a bike is very rider dependant. I'm sure a pro could get sub 3 seconds on a lot of literbikes, which an amateur is not going to do it even with all the rider aides

My k5 gsxr 750 did 128 in like 3 seconds I can’t imagine what the 1000 can do I now have a gsxr 1100

[@veteq101]

I bought one of these, new in 2006 and it was a great bike, my friend bought the same bike a few months later and he is still riding it today, last I checked he had 115,000kms on it.

DUDE! YOU LIVE NEAR ME! Love your bike! been following your content since last March when I decided to get my first bike.

[@SpunkyBoyy]

That’s awesome! Thanks for following me and congrats on the bike stay safe out there🏍️💯

[@sidekickstreams]

Been watching you for a couple months now. You are one of the people responsible for me taking the threat of death on a motorcycle in traffic seriously. Got a tiny Duke 200 to really make sure I master the fundamentals before I move on to something freeway worthy. Watched this to see how I felt about liter bikes now that I'm a little more experienced. And yeah, I'm still a long way from trusting myself with this kind of heat!

[@factoryape79]

Miss my Gixxer K6. Absolute hooligan machine. Yoshi can shooting flames, was just a crazy fun to ride.One of the best bikes ever made.

[@sword-and-shield]

Once you go big bore you don't go back, for the street anyway...that sweet sweet torque. Miss my K6, Red n Blk just like this, lots of hard street rippin n racing for years, nothing ever broke, just maintenance.. Enjoy

[@pixelated_raven167]

I have been considering getting an 2007 year of this bike. Thanks for the video! Also, if my math is correct your fuel is 82p per litre. Here in the UK super unleaded is between £1.55-£1.90 which would be approximately $8.24 a US Gallon! That would be a dream! Sucks for us :(

[@armandblake]

Nice! Perfect first bike to win the Darwin Award

[@Aboxinhamster]

I have a blue and white k8 1000 with the original fairings and I definitely want to add a red and black k5/6 1000 to the stable since the k7 600 that I used to own was red and black. Also look into adding a racefit growler exhaust rather than the straight pipe it will sound amazing, and don't forget to get a tune

[@billyschannel997]

More of a reason to get a bike😂

[@camarov5456]

That 05 gixxer you passed was the 20th anniversary edition.

Looks like you are on PW Parkway in Va. I live in Lake Ridge. Hope to see you on the road sometimes. Right now I have my bike in hibernation until it’s a little warmer. Great videos. Keep them coming. Be safe.

[@SpunkyBoyy]

It was a random nice day in February so I had to take advantage of it haha but I hope to see you out there soon! Thanks💯

[@TheMajesticOne]

Not only does that bike look, and sound great, knowing you have the power to take out 99% of the cars on the road with a slight twist of the throttle is an awesome feeling!!! BUT living in the country like I do, speed isn’t recommended due to the amount of wildlife I encounter on the daily(deer, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, and coyotes), especially at night, so I’ll be getting something a little slower, safer, and less tempting!!! I’ll still have my fun, but not doing triple digits will hopefully keep me alive longer!!! 😂

Love your knowledge and channel. Got a question. I'm an old dude selling my bike. What do you and any of your subscribers think I could get for my completely stock, 2003 GSXR-600, in perfect condition, without a scratch on it, with only 2600 original miles, clean title in hand. I've done a bunch of research, but it's real difficult to find a similar bike for sale or that sold with similar mileage. Any help from any of you guys is appreciated. Thanks. Everybody stay safe.

Thanks! If you’re interested in the black & red and want a 750, check out the 2014 red & black gsxr 750. I love that color and the 600’s/750’s are all the same 2011 and up. Hope that helps!

[@user-wd3tg6xn9e]

How does the gixxer feel overall in terms of seat width? It looks super narrow compared to a lot of the other makes out there

[@SpunkyBoyy]

That’s a great question. It feels really good in that area. I’ve sat on older cbr’s and the first thing i noticed was the seat felt too wide. I was shocked how comfortable this was when I first hoped on (especially for its age)

[@user-wd3tg6xn9e]

@@SpunkyBoyy gotcha, thanks. I’m getting my first bike soon, and I want to get a 600. Not my first time riding, just my first time owning my own bike… but I’m a shorter dude at 5’3” with like a 28 inch inseam, so I’m big short lol.. I was just curious to know if the gixxers were thinner because that’ll make it a bit better as far as touching the ground goes and I don’t necessarily care which make I go with. I just haven’t had the time to go and sit on everything quite yet.

[@MASTAdondaMASTADON]

I've never driven a motorcycle before do you recommend a gsxr 600 or 750?

[@ry9]

I started on a 750. It really depends on if you know you can respect the machine & can ride within your limits. If you are a go-go-go type of person and just want a bike for speed, you should start on something smaller than even a 600. The larger the engine size the less forgiving they are.

[@MASTAdondaMASTADON]

@@ry9 I'm terrified of them trust me . I guess ill go with the 750 not the 600 because if I go with the 600 the extra power of the 750 will always be in the back of my mind. But yes I think you need a little bit of respect and fear when driving a motorcycle. My dad always says most crashes happen when ppl get too comfortable the roads are dangerous you have to watch out for others more than yourself at times.

[@SpunkyBoyy]

It’s always better to work ur way up, and graduate from bike to bike in my opinion. I’d say a 600 to answer ur question, but I think 600’s are still too fast for learning.

[@MASTAdondaMASTADON]

I hope you don't mind me answering your question. I would say a 600 is more fun while a 1000 is more terrifying while being fun. You have to be a lot more careful with a 1000. You can't scream through the gears almost anywhere on a 1000 the way you can on a 600 IMO. It really depends also on where your skill level is, and only you can answer that question.

[@chaazshaw7040]

@@garvincollins8632 Awesome,I appreciate it.

[@SpunkyBoyy]

I’d say the 1000, the way the power band hits is hard to beat. It also has a lot more toque which adds to the fun aspect, but 600’s are better for street use. 1000’s are too fast for street use(in my opinion)
