First Ride on the 05 Gixxer!

I can't wait to see one in person, I want to judge that pipe myself. Everyone seems to agree that pictures do the entire bike no justice, it looks a lot better in person.
Yeah, the pipe ain't so bad in person. It's the tail section styling that looks like shid to me in person. The rest of the bike, from the rider seat down and forward is pretty fuggin' sweet actually. I just can't stand that tail. Even so, if it had fit me better than the 10 I'd own one. Fit and feel mean more to me than ultimate power and looks at this point.

Actually that pipe doesn't look as bad or as big in real life as it does in the photos. Maybe it will grow on folks? However, I already ordered a Leo Vince' carbon fiber can. So if it looks good and sounds good, I'll soon change it.

My son's bike is at the race shop today to get the hard dyno breakin. Hopefully we will have some numbers by days end. I forgot to tell that kid to make sure he gets a printout of the dyno results but I'm sure he will?

Busafever: I have an 04 gixxer as well and I love that thing for it's raw power, low end grunt and wheelie capacity. I'm like you, it feels stronger than my busa but I'm not sure it is? I'm not real sure this bike will be as good at wheelies since Suzuki went to great lengths to keep the front wheel on the ground under power? I really do enjoy the wheelies and hopefully the new bike will only take a little getting use to? We'll see?
HOLY COW!

You have a Busa, and
an 04 gixxer and
an 05 gixxer...

Dude, you gotta let me sell some crack too!

That's awesome!
Your are a lucky man...

Thanks for the great review on the 05. Looking forward to those dyno #s.

Actually it's my woman that sells the crack!
I just spend the money!

Interesting read going on right now on suzukihayabusa.org...

It appears the Kirks supersport spec 04 R1 got romped on my a relatively stock 05 gixxer.

He then said they passed the 04 ZX-10R who was the #1 plate holder last season...

Yeah, that bike is gonna tear it up on the track man!

Check it out yourself...
