The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

You can never have too many bikes. I've had gsxr's but never the 1100, 750 was the biggest. If you've got the room and can afford it then buy it - life's not a rehearsal  :wheelie:

I want the bike , have had a gsxr750 Wp as well but the 11's are something else with awesome power.
Can't get rid of this Gsxr yearning so I gotta have it!

If you want it, and can afford it, buy it.  If it was a naked bike I would buy it but I don't do fairings, they are for girls.

I agree. If it rocks your boat.  :cheers:
I'm a child of the seventy's and eighty's and the more naked, the more excited I got. And that includes my motorbikes.  :onya:

I have an opportunity to buy a very nice 1 owner, dealer serviced,kept in a heated garage 93 Gsxr1100 With 15k miles, bog standard too.
Just had a grand spent on carbs being sorted, servicing etc. It's never wanted for anything.
It's in blue n white and I'm very tempted,

What you reckon chaps ?

Go for it. When i was living in South Africa, we turned an 89 gixxer 1100  into a street fighter, looked great as a naked bike.  This one is too nice and neat, keep it stock, it will appreciate in value.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

So did you buy it?  I bought  750 gsxr myself last week like you couldn't say no  :rolleyes:

Chrisl

I have agreed to buy the bike, the owner wants to leave the pick up until after the crisis is over / things are a bit safer.
He is in his seventies albeit young so I understand his concern.
Where did you pick up the 750 Milts? I saw a lovely one on EBay recently was it that one?

I couldn't say no to this one. I am very pleased with it and very fortunate to have found an honest seller.

I had the bike professionally collected and delivered. Not cheap but peace of mind as i've used them a couple of times before.

Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Lovely bike. Just get rid of the ugly headlamp cover! The old GSX-R 1100's were awesome machines.

I had the earlier b/w tiger stripe model (N). Posted a pic of it in my gallery.

Very powerful, even though they were really heavy, but fantastic to ride. A really good two-up sports bike too. Typical Gixxer though - regular stops to stretch the legs. Very cramped in that respect.

The only potential issue with them was fork seals, but an easy fix.

Enjoy!
