The Gixxer Collection
Hi all... thought id show off my current stock of gixxers currently consuming the entirity of my garage... seem to have got a bit carried away over the past few years 
2002 GSX-R 600 (K2) Fuel injection model
Yoshimura tri-oval full race system
K&N Filter
Dynojet USB Power commander
Set up by warringtons (inc fuelling, and suspension)
Undertray with new lights, carbon tail tidy, micro indicators and the back and flush fits at the front, blue double bubble screen and a single seat conversion...
ONLY 1,992 miles from new
Next up is the 04 GSX-R 750 (just about to be sold actually
)
More or less exactly the same spec as the 6 but newer shape and with out all the plastic attached other than the seat conversion
Again all set up at the local dyno wizzard - stupidly fast bike - gathering dust...
And now onto my new one... 2007 (K7) GSX-R750
Arrow titanium moto GP system with de-cat silencer (saves 6.4kg!!)
Power commander + remap etc
Pipercross filter (thought a change would be nice)
Goodridge braided lines all round (straight split set up at the front)
R&G Tail tidy (the best ive seen - ever)
Scottoiler (with new style mounting - for those of you into bikes and wish to mount a scottoiler in a better place give me a shout
)
and plenty more to come...
I took delivery of this bike a few days before my old man was killed in a bike accident (He had a GSX1400) so the chances of it being ridden are slim... i havnt even registerred it yet!
What ya'll think... im ford through and through for cars but for bikes its a different matter... both of them are for sale by the way... PM me for more details!
Cheers - Matt

Sorry about you dad mate.
Nice collection you have!
I really love the K6
I'm not keen on the look of the K7 tho? Wish I could afford the K6 that looks lovely

Cheers for all the comments guys... 
That is fucking lovely mate one of my fav bikes love the third one looks the bees knees i bet thats very very loud
believe it or not its the quietest out of the lot, but then again the K7 has a butterfly valve in the exhaust (like a powervalve on a 2 stroke i guess) and at 6,000rpm or so it opens fully... at which point its deafening
The middle one is actually a K4... the K6 is identical to my K7 but the top fairing is blue instead of white, the swingarm is about 10mm shorter and the K7 is lighter all round apparently... i know one thing - im too f@cking tall for it as its about the same size as an aprilia RS125
Actually Euan, your saph is faster (technically) than both my 6 (by a long shot in fact) and than my K4 750!!! book speed on a K4 is about 180ish making your saph faster... however the K7 has about 1.3mph on your car 
(but then again thats at 17,000rpm limit 
)
thanks again guys... just thought id answer a few questions... glad you like them now c'mon... somone take the K2 off my hands at least?
(P.S. just had the K7 dyno'd and she made 159bhp at the back wheel... you think cars on a dyno are loud? you wanna try hearing that thing at 16,500rpm
)

I really want a bike, That one is awesome. But they are dangerous I suppose well your safer in a car anyway. And with me having Brittle bone I would be asking to be killed.
