Well I crashed...

[Martin.UK]

Take one day at a time, Don't push it with the family, just say your think about it. Its to early and near the crash for them to understand why you want to keep riding. But time is your friend for everything. I wish you a full recovery and the plastic surgeon is right to leave your nose, it's an improvment

Well I sat on 2018 gsx 1000r today lolololol my gf was not impressed.... 4000 km for $12,500. The dealership cringed when I told them I'd rip the abs out and stretch it. They've had it for 2 years so it ain't going anywhere.

I think I have an addiction....

Ya you hafta get back on the horse. If you love it as much as i do, you cant not ride. You will be eternally unhappy as i was when i quit. Family will understand....eventually.

Hi. They not good for long rides or even in the city.

I dont city ride, I kinda wanna try a different build and be the quickest N/A bike around my parts (should be easy unless you count Alberta). I've seen people squeeze 190+ whp on mr12 with extended swing and on the 17+ gsx's which is insane.

Crashing SUCKS! Sorry you went through it & there is no worse feeling than loosing a beloved bike while banged up lying in a hospital bed or at home wondering if you will ride again. The family pressure is real even if they don't say it out loud any way you have Heart and a great attitude about it all. Best wishes, a full recovery and support much respect been there!

Are you talking about a Gsxs or a Gsxr?
My friend's '18 Gsxr1000R with full M4, 3-D printed velocity stacks, Sprint air filter, and Chris Moore flashed and dyno tuned it through the ecu...it makes 187whp on 93 octane/pump gas.
MR12 is nasty stuff, too much hassle for a street bike.

 

[hayabuser]

I live in canada so no medical bills and we only have 1 auto insurance company in my province they do everything I'll explain more when I have a good hand to type with.

Good old ICBC, eh?

All the best in your recovery from another BC-ite.

Gsxr, people want way to much for gen 1 and gen 2 busas around me $12,000 for a low km gen 1 busa or $12,000 for a L8 gsxr low km plus cheaper insurance on a 1000.

I'm happy to be alive alot don't make it or are hurt alot worse.

Wow, just the opposite here.
1000 insurance is 3x or more higher than a Busa or zx14, as those are classed as sport touring here.
And the 2017+ gsxr1k...it's power Sucks in stock form...147whp, and that is average.
99mph topped out in 3rd, and won't power wheelie.
After the pipe, stacks, filter, flash and dyno, 187whp...and you know alot of that was already in there to start with.
It now hits the rev limiter at 109mph...in first gear.
I am and always have been a wheelie guy too, but after the changes, and the incredible first gear acceleration, it's hard to control, as it will loop you in the road in 1st or 2nd with a good flick of the wrist, 3rd throttles up with ease as well.
And at 430ish lbs, you've got a monster...
Highly recommended, lol

@sixpack577 hayabusa is a sportbike where I live sadly. I've been researching like crazy and the newer gsxr's are so impressive. They need an old style clutch for drag racing though but brocks sells the conversions. I'll revist the turbo busa in a few years I have so many parts for a gen 1.

I won't be on a bike for atleast another year so I have time to draw out a build.

Thankfully Hayabusas are cheaper to insure here than any liter bike regardless of age and it is cheaper than many 600s...

You will miss the stability of the Hayabusa, especially in the relentless prairie winds you have there...I found the liter bikes too light, a passing pick up truck almost blows you off the road.

 

[sixpack577]

1000's don't live long turbo'd vs a Busa.
Their engine internals/rods aren't as beefy.

I want a fast n/a bike for street/strip and then a turbo busa for strip only in the future.

Saskatchewan, ah. Wasn’t aware you guys had government insurance too.

Hi. I am using mine as drag race/ LSR/ STREET. It just takes 2 rear sprockets.

 

[Miklos_HUN]

I rarely venture outside the Gen 3 thread, so I missed this one. I wish you a speedy recovery man! And as others have said, it may be best to not tell anything about your plans to the family. You're not riding until next season, so it can wait to spring the news of you getting back on a bike until then.

 

[JeffSyh]

Well I am starting to go stir crazy, I have been slowly working my left hand but it's still weak and sore. I should get the pins out next month.

I have not received anything from insurance or status of anything, good thing I have a savings.

I have all the materials to reno my kitchen and bathroom just a waiting game now for my wrists to heal.

The gsx-1000r idea is out of the question they want $320 a month in plates but I did find a nice gen 2, I wonder what is needed to swap over a gen 1 turbo system to a gen 2? Here's the bike the milage is alittle high but it's stock which I love.
