[@phil4986]

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 have a k6 since 2006 and can't get rid of it for all the things you mentioned. Look forward to the build.

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!

[@slartybartfarst9737]

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 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.

Are you clutchless up shifting? Damn it so satisfying to see people on KZbin 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.

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 😬

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.

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 KZbin 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

Hard to beat analog, man. Same thing with late model Harleys, the new stuff just ain't right with so many electronics, doo dads, and nerfed by regulations. They are not nearly as cool as older, more mechanical, bikes. These older machines have soul and offer a real connection. I mostly ride Harley FXR's and old school chops, but man I have been enjoying your channel for a while. Been considering getting a naked bike after I rebuild my FXR this winter.
