Multimedia Exchange - * My Buddies sick GSXR 1000 (no 56K)

I'm sure most of you haven't seen the pics of my drivetrain in the Eastern Section out. Check it out here http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=351655

While I was at the shop I decided to take a few pics of my buddies bike. Just about everything is chrome. The swing arm is extended 12 inches. The single-sided swingarm and wheels cost him over $7K dollars. Paint was done by friends at Amherst Street Collision/Custom.

It's obviously much more amazing in life, than in picture. But here they are anyhow. These were just a few quick snap shots, as I was busy fixing my toilet of an automobile.

Oh, and yes, that is a 300 rear tire :hail:

Next mods are: Air suspension, a turbo , AND Nitrous. :devil:
Nastiest bike in New England says me :judge:

Wow....that looks like complete shit.

Just some guys bike from Rock Falls Dragway in Wis. There is a bottle on this bike, u can kinda see it between the tire and rear shock. Not sure if this bike was having problems, but this thing was running low 11's only. I have two of his runs on film to prove the times.

:stupid:

Wow....that looks like complete shit.


to put it bluntly... I guess so. I don't care for it at all for a number of reasons:

-1 Way too much chrome
-2 Rear tire isn't needed. You can tell how much of it he actually uses. I believe it's called the scrub radius er sumthin which is the absolute most of the tire that gets used in leaning situations. You can see from the picthat he doesn't use much of it which equally in more unsprung weight which kills power.
-3 Paint is overkill. What happens when he lays it down??

I think there was somethin else but I can't remember. Anyways, this is just my opinion so I'm sorry if anyone gets offended!!!

P.S. My favorite place for bikes is http://www.nlrsystems.com/

This isn't his only bike... It will be in a few magazines VERY shortly. Scrub radius? It's a show bike. The thing can do a burnout through 3rd gear over a 100mph... He's already on his 3rd tire. 300 tire rob power??? Who cares, its a GSXR1000, that's the last thing one would have to worry about on that bike.

He had a Honda 954RR before, not as radical as this one. Extended arm, but was double sided and such. Sold it for $19K.

He's already had more than a few offers over $20k on this one, but it's too nice. Next year he'll have the new model GSXR 1000 with a 330 rear tire.
He has a GSXR 1000 bone stock, and a GSXR 600 as well.

I mean everyone has their own oppinion. But regardless, it's a piece of art. The bike was stripped down completely and put back together by him and his buddy.

putting a 300 tire on a bike is like putting 315's on a civic. Unnecessary and hideous.

In your oppnion maybe. When it's a show bike, I don't see how. A big tire on a muscle car= bad ass, a big tire on a chopper = badass, a big tire on a $30k dollar show bike = badass.

You've voiced your oppinion, and I think that's great. Unfortunately, it means nothing to me. It's a sick bike, with lots of time, and money put into it.

I think it looks badass. I drooled all over my keyboard

Big tire when necessary = bas ass
Big tire when unnecessary= not bad ass

i LIKE IT :eek2:

Of course it's outrageous, that was the intent i'm sure.

I just think the exhaust can stands out like sore thumb

should be a Giant polished stainless or chrome can.

Opinions are like assholes....

That bike is bad ass. At least it doesn't look like every other fucking GSX-R or bullet bike out there. That bike would turn heads anywhere it goes. Kudos to your friend.

[QUOTE=BAD ASS TA WS6]A big tire on a muscle car= bad ass[QUOTE]

because the entire tire is actually functional.. i agree that many show cars or bikes for this matter are nice but im not much of a show person. I would rather have my vehicle perform but if you can get it to look nice and perform good at the same time then you're doing something right. But in this case with this bike, the tire is a bit too wide and the chrome is overdone. Everyone has their likes and dislikes though.

Wow....that looks like complete shit.

wow. THAT wasnt an asshole thing to say. maybe say you dont like it or give constructive criticism but to say that just goes above and beyond being a plain ole dick. :eyes:

That bike is badass!

not a big import bike fan but does look pretty dam sharp

some one has sand in their vagina....

It's a show bike.....keyword being:show

I personally like it, it probably looks alot bigger than normal since it's a single sided swing-arm. :thumb:

That's what I said Astro. It's a MIG high mount limited edition pipe though. He had one on his 954RR too. It won't matter when the turbo goes on anyhow, since it will be a straight shot right out of the fairing. I think it will clean up the bike A LOT.

It definately does turn heads everywhere. Basically pull up to a club and pick which girl you want to bring home...

most people don't like bikes cause most of them can run circles around our cars. anyway i like this bike anyone who doesn't like it is a fag, thats just my opinion though so its ok. :moon:

If someone took a Z06, threw on a set of 22's, put on a hideous ground effects kit, tinted the window's green, and did everything possible to ruin the handling of the car, and then went on to tell you "it's a show car." You would tell them it looked like shit and they just ruined a factory perfect machine. that is what this person has done; taken one of the best handling, fastest street machines out there and ruined every characteristic that made the Gixxer 1K the legend that it is.

If that was directed at me then you might want to read my sig.

that bike is absolutely amazing. I want one so bad.

If i had the money... definitly not what i would do (heads and cam), but its clean and custom. I can respect that

Yeah there aren't many people with a swing arm setup like his. It comes with the wheels and runs over $7k. I've only seen his particular setup on a Hayabusa. They are currently designing a 330 rear tire kit. It will debut on a biker build off show featuring crotch rockets ;) So keep your eyes open for it.

or just because some people are scared of them. :jest:

So, people put skinny ass tires up front, and big ol' slick on the backs of Z06's also calling it a "drag" car, essentially rendering it's former handling abilities useless.
You could complain about that also, but it's serving a purpose for what it was built for. Same with the bike, it's not slow, it's got an awesome back ground as a bike and it still holds up to it, minus the extended swing arm...but just like the Z06, it's a "drag" *style* vehicle.
Just because you don't like the way it look doesn't mean it's shit, it's obviously still capable of performing on an amazing level, just doesn't look the way you want it to while it does. =)

I think its the baddest f'n GSXR I have ever seen

:doublepuk Nuff said.............

Never said it was shit...i said it looks like shit.

That bike is now ONLY capable of performing in a straight line....there's nothing amazing about a bike going fast in a straight line.

What's your point? :confused: Same thing can be said about cars too.
Who's going to go track riding with a show bike anyhow?

So, drag bikes are useless? :jest:

Wait, let me guess, professional drifters have no talent either? :nono:

I'm done with this :eyes:

I like the swing arm

Very nice bike IMO. I dont know how anyone cant appreciate the level of work done to that thing. The green/chrome combo works very well too.

to put it bluntly... I guess so. I don't care for it at all for a number of reasons:

You obviously don't know what to look for with the usage of a rear tire.

If you look at the 3rd picture from the top....you can see that the tire is almost worn to the very edge of the tire. If you ride....this is the 1st thing that you see on the rear tire. I would say that for having a 300 tire on the back that this bike is getting leaned into corners very well....afterall...I know guys that have 180 tires on the rear and have much bigger "chicken strips" then that!!

Not like he's a newb to riding. Like I said, he owns this one, a stock '02 GSXR 1000, and a '01 GSXR 600.

On top of already owning a nasty 954RR, and two 929RRs.

I don't mind that people don't like the bike. It's not mine... He does have a lot of work into it however, most of us can relate to that. Retarded amounts of money dumped into our toys/things that interest us.

I'm obviously sick of hearing blues retarded comments. He can be negative all he wants. Although he's probably jealous over the fact that the bike is worth more than the GTO he can't afford.

No worries though, I posted it to show those who can appreciate hard work, and a lot of thought/time.

bike looks badass

How can you not appreciate the work that's gone into that bike? Even if you're not into bikes, it's about the effort and the fact that it was made for show. Lord knows I don't like everything people put on their cars on this site, but you commend them on their efforts and at least say "nice work" for the time and heart they've put into it, whether you like it or not.

What I have not seen mentioned about the rear tire that everyone seems to be forgetting. Contact patch!! Bike tires are curved, so the wider, less curved tire has more rubber on the ground= he may need that wide of a tire to get traction. So those who say it's a waist think about that. This would be a waist on a road race bike. but anyone can tell the bike was built for straigt line dragging/showing. So the tire is useful.
Nice bike for sure. Not really my cup of tea, but it has some detail work on it no doubt.

i like your style!!! :chug:

looks good but the rear tire is way too wide...looks like a handicapped kid on drugs...

GTO i can't afford?? :jest: :jest: :jest:

because i'm selling something i can't afford it? that's priceless.

GTO is getting replaced by a new 2500HD duramax and a yet to be named car built for mostly strip duty.

Well the bike took first place today in Boston. Best Bike in the show @ the Funk Master FLex Car/Bike Show.

Took home a big ass trophy signed, got a bunch of pictures and stuff.

Turbo kit and nitrous system arrives monday....pictures to follow :cool:

I love it. :thumb: Sex on wheels... :nod:

I like the bike but then again I dont like it. I dont know, I am totally lost on this one :jest:

Wow....that looks like complete shit.

:funny:

Tell us how you really feel! :D

I'm the same way. I say what I'm thinking. If someone's got a problem with that, toughen up...don't be such a puss puss.

People shouldn't post pics if they want only good comments.

I could honestly care less. I posted it up because I think the bike is sick. Sickest in New England for sure.

He shit all over it, which is fine, but at least appreciate the amount of work it took to build it. Like I said, it's just like most of us and our cars. Lots of hard work/time and effort put into them.

But Unit, seriously your car is slow :punch:

They put a lot of work into the piles on Pimp My Ride too, doesn't mean I'm going to like the end result. It looks like the owner of the bike should be standing in the pic with Xzibit saying "You've officially been pimped."

See my above comment. A pimped vehicle would do well at a Funk Master Flex show... what was the name of Funk's TV show that used to be on again? I can't remember.

I like it.

If you say so. Bike still has more money in it then your car is worth, brand new + whatever you've got into it.

If you have the money why not?

I hate most of that bling crap as much as the next guy, but the bike is sick, period.

He wins bike night in Mass. every wednesday night, every week, no matter what anyone brings.

Sweet! Now thats a bike! :thumb:

For me, i think if he likes it, it doesnt matter what other people think, as long as he is happy. I have owned alot of fast bikes, for me if its a geometry mod that makes it handle better, id do it. He has or has created his nich. I do think he would be more well suited to the harley boys and their type of thinking. I drive american cars but think harleys are for recreational use. But thats just my opinion, and it dont matter to most. I would personally have built it up, done suspension mods, ect. Plain dul alum and lots of power and some pretty big balls.
I have modded bikes that i play on in the middle of nowhere with my friends, and like it. He prefers to have his looked at. No big deal, just 2 different people. Diff people diff stuff. :usa:

I don't think that bike looks THAT bad. I actually think the Busa that was posted, looks a little better, but the guy has some problems if he's hit'n low 11's on that Busa :eek2:

Looks good!! I like the extended rear, gives the bike more flavor.

Looks like a SICK individual barfed on that bike!!

lmao he thinks its a show bike cause it looks bling bling.....what really is diffrent with this bike then most bikes on the road today???? Do you think its a show bike cause some one put paint on it and dipped all the crap in chrome??? nothing really looks custom on it besides the paint and the swing arm which i have done on a bike in a garge......Rookie's :jest: :jest: :jest:

Looks good! :cool:

alot of you guys are dick heads. Dude clearly stated that the bike is SHOW. with that said i think it looks damn good who ever though of the paint scheme was very creative and the rims really match the bike as far as the wide tire and it not be useful?? who fucking cares how many of you that talked shit about this bike own one?? prolly less than 1/2 choppers have huge ass tires too do they get used properly?? NO!! kudos for the bike owner lets see some pics of the turbo

I think it looks freekin awsome :eek: here a pic of mine. Im located in Dallas Texas and these kits are VERY unique. Hes probably the only one in his state with that kit. Mine is suppose to be the first and only in Texas at the moment also.. I just powder coated everything possible on my bike for the business and there is alot more pics on my web site. take care and tell your buddy his bike is awsome man.. later, Paul www.paulspowdercoating.com

Wow So hard to get everything dipped in chrome and put a swingarm kit on..Please tell me what hard work went into it beside pulling parts off and getting them chrome.
P.S If you dont give a crap about what we think then dont reply back to people that say they dont care for it :supergay:

Don't reply in the first place if you have nothing to say. You're obviously ignorant, building a bike from the ground up isn't exactly that easy. Especially to get things to fit perfect. At the time, this was the first single sided swing arm built for the GSXR 1000. Built by alumachrome, it took a few months to get the bike together.

You may not like the chrome, but you wouldn't have to worry about it. You couldn't afford a similar setup anyhow.


Oh sorry, I forgot. The master tech over there has built similar bikes in his garage. Unfortunately, these bikes have real motors. The ones you built just sounded like they had one. With your baseball cards in your spoke wheels and all :jest: I bet you can pedal a mean 10 speed!

AHAHHA Sprayed busa with a swing arm running 11s? Did you tell him to twist the throttle?

I know What it takes to put a bike together and have had alot of bikes.Worked at Richmond Suzuki for a while then worked at Racedirect.com..Been around bike's my whole life..Raced motorcross for about 10 years now and ride street bikes and build them. Might be the only one that looks like that from where your from but come down here and i can show you some that look like just like that.Richmond Suzuki builds bike's like that all the time

dude that some bad ass paint job man.. especailly them wheels are
off the hook :thumb:

ok while everyones on here bitching whose right whose wrong oh it loooks like shit....this guys out working on his next masterpiece.....at least hes living his life....i give the guy respect.

I think it looks killer....I love the Performance machine wheels on a street bike...I want some PM's on my Harley but the fundage isnt there yet!

I know What it takes to put a bike together and have had alot of bikes.

I believe you man, I'm just busting your balls. There are plenty of bikes out there with similar setups. But this was the first GSXR 1000 built with this specific kit. It took them 4 months just to build it. They previously had a similar kit on their Hayabusa. The Freddy Krugar bike. I didn't like the paint, but it was a nasty bike.

And you're right, there's nothing like it around here. Competition Edge builds the only bikes even close. You can check out a couple of their bikes in the newest Super Streetbike Magazine. The title is something along the lines of Wicked Bad northeast customs.

Updates on the bike now are the turbo kit, and nitrous. I'll snap a few more pics this weekend.

looks badass man, but hey ur always going to have people hat cause they are jealouse

That bike is badass!

Ditto!!! :thumb:

i think it looks awsome. :)

This isn't his only bike... It will be in a few magazines VERY shortly. Scrub radius? It's a show bike. The thing can do a burnout through 3rd gear over a 100mph...

haha.. :jest:

That bike is badass
never seen a fat tire on a sport bike
much better(and a shitload faster) than a chopper
keep the badass bikes coming

I like it...tire is a little too large IMO but everything else is bad ass.

I like it...tire is a little too large IMO but everything else is bad ass.


Yeah it's big... Only to be bigger. This winter it's going to be re-engineered/fabricated for a 330 rear tire.

The bike made 215 ponies to the tire the other day. That was w/ the turbo only. He hasn't sprayed it yet, but he's not going to run a very big shot anyhow.

I'll grab some videos of him blowing by the shop one of these days. Thing sounds retarded with the turbo/exhaust setup.
