They go for serious money now,up to 20 grand for a minter.Crashed mine 3 times and blew it up twice.Had it rebuilt and tuned by Dave Goddard.Still my favourite bike i have ever owned.

farangme Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 For me, it didn't get better than the bikes I owned. The gixxer was unreal! 178 bhp it weighed 165kg. Capable of 0-62mph in 2.35 seconds. The mighty K5 1000. Loved my fireblade too. A bit tamer but you were in control. Silky smooth ride. The gixxer was like riding a bull, you fought to control the power. Great bikes. Lethal in the wrong hands. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote mine off.... Been looking at the custom RGV500s...As you say big money.... Can't beat that 500 engine, my best bike ever,, although my RGV is a very special bike too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 My 750 Bonnie from 1983-4.I rode it around France,Belgium & Holland but every now and again it would just stop.Eventually chased the fault to the twin coils,changed them & it was OK. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
