1993 GSX-R-750... Any insight?

hjfisk said:
Okay here is my 2 cents. Had. 95 GSXR 750, it was ok but heavy and under powered, then I got my 97' GSXR 1100, basically another big heavy bike but with a few minor mods to the motor I got 148hp and 84 lbs of torque out of it so the weight was not as much as an issue. I also really liked the bike one I should have kept. I also had a 2002 TLR 10000R , very torquey low hp 128, high torque #'s 102. Very fun to ridebut small and compact for us big guy's. Also mine had a tre (timing retard eliminator) on it which made it basically impossible to ride around town as it wanted to float the front tire under all throttle positions. Use to have to shut it off in town.

Thanks Jim! I'm looking at an 01 right now (as shown on my post) I did my research and the 93 GSX-R is just a bit under powered and bit heavy... I'm looking to get into a bike that will be fun to blast on with some of my buddies that ride sport bikes. Last night I rode 50 miles on my buddies RVT 1000R it was a BLAST!... but the V-twin power delivery just isn't my style. I like the fizzle of a 4 cylinder. The power though of his RC51 is right where I want to be, figure the 750 would be a good class for I belive it competes with the 1000 twins???

Hey FYI I ended up taking out the secondaries in the Connie as you recommended... Low speed throttle response smoothed RIGHT out... There was also a noticeable increase in power. Bike will need a re-flash to cure the ignition retard and the lean conditions(Popping in the exhuast)... She's pretty nurtured in the first 2 gears. Guessing that's to help preserve tranny life though.

Ride safe as you travel out west! I'm headed out tomorrow to our NE GSR gathering for the weekend this weekend at Lurch's.

Once I get my CBR900 squared away we need to get together and run the Kanc. I just drove it in the family cage (SUV) today and now I'm salivating to get back down there on the bike.

Sure I could be down for that... As long as I get the time to ride again any time soon... I'm booked nearly every weekend from now till the GSR GMR in VT.

I'll go anywhere on this thing now since the standard bar conversion...

She's a full on Hoolagan now... I compare it to a Bandit but way more edgy and responsive... In everything. The way a bandit should be. But hell yeah I could do a couple hundred miles on this thing now, no problem.

I'd say the closest thing I can compare to it is a FZ6... But lighter... and with more balls.

You better get to work on those chicken strips there Jedz!! :p
 
I just cruised tonight Trev...
Oh did I mention the Gixxer came with brand new tires???
I go into DMV tomorrow, once 100% legal I'll be out racking and pushing this puppy hard in the turns.
 
Pretty bike (despite the gawky high bars :tongue-new: ) Jedz! If you were closer, we could ride the two Jurassic Gixxers together! :encouragement:

Just giving you the gears buddy.;) "100% legal"?
 
Living in Rural Vermont does have its advantages. Usually I can rack 50-100 miles or so on a motorcycle after a swap to see if it's worth keeping or not....Really no LEOs to give me grief... This ones a keeper for sure, so I just have to make the 40 mile trek to my closest DMV in big $hittty city of Rutland to officially transfer the registration. I swapped (plus was given a sizeable cash deposit) for my 100% legal VTX1800 for it. Once I get the plate/registration transfer cleared stop by my guys at Procycle in North Clarendon to get it inspected and boom 100% legal... Bike needs nothing so it won't be a chore... They may need to do a VIN check it though...

Dave, I've always wanted to make it out that way to ride with you guys... Unfortunately being able to do so has always been a challenge. With my position at work getting time off during the big events (Commencement and Reunion weeks) is an impossibility. Would love to go to a PNW meet... Maybe I should just fly out one of these days and just bum a bike ;).

I agree though getting these bikes that's scream early 90's together would be awesome!

The bars look weird but the few guys that rides sport bikes that have rode this one loves them. Turned the bike from 50 mile blaster to an all day ride...I can't justify owning a motorcycle I can only put 100 miles on before I need to call it quits.

Well said Jedz,

When I started riding my "T" in New Mexico, the bar level was adequate in leisure riding and also allowed me to lean forward with elbows up! It gives more ways to sit on the bike as opposed to crouched position only.

Again, let me say how much I love your GIXXAH!!!

I can't wait to finish the suspension swap on my 1150. Looking forward to higher old school superbike bars.
