Why I don’t ride my 2001 GSXR 1000 that much...

What’s up guys! My name is Devin and this video talks about why I don’t ride my 2001 GSXR 1000 that much. It is an awesome motorcycle but for most of the time, my street glide is just a better fit. I hope you enjoy. Please subscribe to my channel if you have not already and follow me on Instagram @therealdevinclark.

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Young man I don't know you but I'm sooo proud of you! You have a positive energy vibe and a lot of commonsense. I wasn't suicidal (been riding 38yrs) like today's young riders but I had my fair share of idiotic moments. You are so far ahead of the game with your attitude. Hope you don't ever lose that. Your parents did an excellent job!...Stay safe....

[@Therealdevinclark]

Thank you so much Sir! 🙏🏾🙌💯

[@hfr8343]

I don't ride crazy. I'd ride wit you fam. I typically ride solo just because I don't like being on other people time and can go where I want, when I want, and at my own pace lol.

My first bike was a 2001 gsxr 1000... That bike was a game changer. Fast for the time, smooth and incredibly stabile.

You should be glad you didn’t kill yourself on that much of a bike for a 1st bike

Still fast bro

[@ajray3752]

I just picked up a 02 gixxer 1000. Traded a 2000 R1 for it. Definetly holding onto the gixxer bc so many ppl want this bodystyle and they are getting hard to find

[@isaiahw1995ify]

I don’t ride my 600 crazy, I just be cruising honestly, you have your moments but I don’t be driving like some other dudes on sport bikes.

[@dracodabossyadigg6419]

The best way to drive is safe and cautiously... Think bout it would u rather drive wreckless and mess up a beautiful bike and pay thousands of dollars in repairs and damage yourself in the process of "showing off" orr would u rather drive safely and take your time dive with caution and look cool doing so??

[@stanleyford9921]

I like the older 01- 03 models way better than the new smaller less stable bikes suited better for short people.

[@sixshot9369]

Yes, This K1, it's very Bright and Big. Butt this is for me what so cool is. The Modern 1000 Bikes AR not so and make this more Dangerous for me. With Old Bikes you have much more respect to the New Bikes I think. Respectful Driving without nothing technical support from the Bike. I think with old Bikes and Cars, you learn what is really driving. Ask Walther Röhrl or Rossi what he thinks about. Every Old Driver will tell you the same.

[@rickyhineman4124]

I agree completely with what you're saying about being able to go out and ride sensibly. I have a K1, same paint style as yours, and I only tend to ride it about 5-6 times over a 5 month season. I feel like you have to use these bikes responsibly, and that's hard to do the more you ride, so it forces me to take a "less is more" approach to rides. You can go out and have fun on a ride, but the riskier the stuff the do the less you have to do it, or else you're rolling the dice way too much. I know I'm going to want to use the bike to it's potential once or twice during a ride, for sure, so I can't be riding like that and be confident I'm still minimizing the risk to myself and my bike over the long term. So, I guess if you're not going to be that sensible while riding, you have to at least be sensible on how often you push it. As well, from a preservation perspective, the less I use the bike the less risk there is to it, and so I'm able to worry a lot less about keeping it in the best possible condition while still allowing it to do what it was meant to.

[@MalShakur]

Nice bike bro. I had the 750 in that year back in high school (2001). Always lusted over the blk/gry 1000 back then so years later I bought the 2006 model. Keep your K1 since it will definitively be a collector's item and try not to do anything silly like drop it, stretch it, or put glow lights on it.

You said, it's the first year they made a 1000 but I have a 97 1100 unless

[@beefgomoo7529]

My step dad has one exactly like that but his rims are black and a different exhaust, they are pretty sweet!

[@coache1nine]

Back in the day, my dad had a cruiser and I had a sport bike. We didn't ride together, but the bond was super tight because we both rode. Our dream was to Order a couple of bikes from HD, take the train to Milwaukee, pick them up, and ride back to Cali together. He passed away before we got our chance. My youngest son just bought his first, a sport bike. I went with him to pick it up. I rode it around the block, the skills need work, lol. I've been thinking of buying a GSXR 1000, 01-02. I think it's time.

[@richieron9531]

Respect! I am the same way with my Ninja and it's why we are both still here.. when I'm not on the Ninja you could catch me cruising on the Harley or Indian..Same here, not too many people that ride sport bikes with sense. I always say save that hero shit for the track... Maybe we should start a trend.. Rubber side down broham!

[@tygreenwood472]

Had a Gixxer 750 back in the day really enjoyed that bike two reasons I got rid of it uncomfortable on long rides and having a CDL license didn't want to risk loosing my license with the way some of the guys I use to ride with rode, now have two cruisers 07 Yamaha roadliner and 18 Ultra Limited Harley would never go back to a sport bike stay safe keep it on 2 wheels.

Truth bro.. I have a k3, hoping soon to had a k1/k2 as well

Can’t say. Don’t know much about the 600 for 01/02 but the 04/05 they ran like a 750

Get another Gixer 1000? As far as I'm concerned the 1000 you have is as fast as you need to go. And as far as looks goes, you have the best looking Gsx-r 1000 that they ever made. The only thing I don't get is you would think by that point in the Suzuki motorcycle world that their bigger bikes would have been fuel injection and not carb.

This Beast has a Compression you search for this in every Super bike Today. It's like the old Dirt Bikes like Honda 500ccm or others on this Time. The Compression make this Bikes to real Beasts and you really need to have Skills for these Bikes. That's Real Bikes Without nothing. The Modern Bikes Today everything makes the Electronic.
