Written on: 26/03/2011
I sold my 94 zx9r to buy this blue and white missile ! It feels like I'd imagine a fa18 to feel like in acceleration ! I didn't believe that in eight years bikes couldn't improved dramatically compared the the old Kawasaki! The zx9r was an awesome machine too , but in another league entirely! The zx9r kicked you in the pants at 8-9000 rpm and gee it kicked hard! Through the rest of the revs it was quite tame though. I Dont know if it's the efi or the cam differences or just the age...

The K2 GSXR 1000 is a beautiful motorbike . Whilst I also own a TRX 850 (also beautiful) , the difference is as chalk is to cheese.To date I havn't ridden anyhing to compare it to. With the yoshi pipe , power commander , modded rear tail peice with a hugger , inset indicators , it got the looks and the get up and go. There's rarely a time I go out on the thing and not go over 200 260 kph. And she's still got plenty to go.
One thing I like about the K2 is that the fairing has this wide...

Written on: 25/07/2010
Gorgeous machine that needs a few tweaks to sing. Anyone who has one or will be purchasing one needs to do two cheap, but priceless mods.
1st: remove the SET valve to get rid of sticky mechanisms and open up the exhaust
2nd: Get a throttle retard elminator to cure low RPM jerkiness and let the engine breathe.
Once these 2 mods are done, the K3 1000 floats like a feather and stings like a bee. The engine is the heart of this bike, with so much torque available throughout the rev range....

If you compare this bike with any other bike in its class you are splitting hairs unless you are a pro rider and at this point all sportsbikes have their pros and cons. The GSXR has a very reputable track record that speaks for itself. You can always look on the good ol world wide web to look up these stats. I am not taking anything away from any other bikes out there but this is pound for pound my favorite and I have been on a vast selection of bikes. I AM NOT A PRO RIDER THOUGH! It also... (read more)

Stable handling, smooth power, nice ergos. Fun Fun Fun!
Bikes don't seem to have come as far as I thought they have after riding a demo zx10r 2009 model. The zx10r 2009 is definitely a better bike than the k3 in all ways, except I still wouldn't upgrade to one just for that reason.
Suzuki GSXR 1000 is an awesome bike! Had it for 3 years (bought it mid 2006), and still loving it.

Written on: 24/06/2009
Bought a Suzuki 1000K6, have worked in the bike trade for 7 years and ridden most bikes. My Hayabusa got written off, so I went back to sports bikes. I knew I always got off of K5/6s witha smile, so I bought one. Not a moments regret, very quick, light,nimble and very stable - it's even pretty comfortable, a little tight on leg room, but that's not what I bought it for
It's over-kill for the road with sticky tyres, but hell it's good !
You have to keep youself in check a bit and have fun...

I picked myself up a K2 GSXR 1000 last week after some numpty's decided they like my bandit 600 so much they would keep it. Holy crap Im blown away by the looks, power, comfort, coolness etc of the GSXR. It was raining out the night I got it and I was a little nervous of the back sliding out in the wet, not at all, silly me. The bike was stuck to the road.
I have ridden the K6 1000 aswell and personally I would prefare the K2. I just rather the lights and the few little bits and bobs done...

Having ridden sports for in my collection for 30 years I was lucky enough to move to the Isle of Man where it is possible to use the performance of todays sports bikes. You notice on the TT course which bikes can cut it. I decided I was pushing my current ride too hard and a true sportster was needed, I tried all the top bikes in one day and for me the Suzuki GSXR 1000 was the tool. Forgiving plush ride yet totally unflapable and that engines punch is incredible. It will pull yards out of... (read more)

Nice bike all round goes well and handles well for its age.

This bike is a total missile just point and hang on. I have a k6 1000, for my angry blood thirsty adrenaline crazy days (still having them at 43yrs old. Guess I will never grow up. But for my normal cool Sunday squirt I have an Aprilia Tuono factory. Equally as crazy but tend to cruise at around 60 mph less. Than on the gixer. I get a fantastic buzz from both bikes, and love them both equally. It ' s all down to my mood on the day to which bike I prefer to ride. (read more)

The Suzuki GSXR is a very easy bike to ride fast and thats what its made for. It doesn't handle as sharp or as forgiving as a GSXR750 but its far less effort to go fast on. Ride it/Rev it like a 750 and you will fall in love with it. I wouldn't swap mine for anything else, but I haven't rode the 08 blade yet! (read more)

Suzuki used to take technology from the 750 and then put it on the 1000. From 2003 they reversed that, the tech on the 2003 GSX-R 1000 is put on the 750 in 2004.
Easy to control on low speeds... but an absolute MONSTER when you decide to open up the throttle from any gear. When your in sixth gear it feels like you're in fourth, never have been higher then 5000 rpm (have it for two months) but it seems to be all I could use (legally) on the road.

Its my first second Suzuki and not a model I would have gone looking for, but as it came along at a reasonable price it was bought.
I've got to say its got plenty of poke in any gear - more than is usable in most circumstances really. The handling is very good - better even than my 98 Blade which I always thought was excellent anyway. And its light - not that it looks it - but it is.
I've got the HEL lines all round and assume that the brakes are now improved over what they were before but...

I have just picked up my first Suzuki GSXR 1000, I have to say WOW! Its a 2002 K2 model, and it's brilliant. The power delivery is unbelievable, it make my old 2001 R1 feel slow. Gear box is silky and slick, handleing is far better than any 1000c bike I've owned before.
I have been able to pull wheelies on all my bikes, but know where as easy as this 1st, 2nd and 3rd the front just picks up.
The exhaust note is so sweet I can't help but rev it.

The smile it puts on my face is not easy to wipe, its an amazing bike.too fast for mumbai streets any way, wheelies happen at 80 kmph, in 1st gear, whack open the throttle at 80 and up goes your wheel, the thrill is great.

Written on: 26/09/2010
Thanks for your imput .Looking to buy a K2 with a full yoshi pipe , remapped computer , and after market tail peice . In Blue it looks superb and the price is about what I can afford . 46,000 kms though is a bit high , but I get the impression they are bullet proof . If any thing is to go by , I'm ready to be converted lol
