Well I want to get more power out of mine or just upgrade, not sure which way to go yet for the next summer. I am either going to paint my bike and put a turbo kit on ( I think carbs are going to be a pain though), change few things here and there ( I have to put another grand in the bike at least), or upgrade to 929, 954 ( my favorite so far), or even go with an r6, gsxr600/750. Just not sure what to do, I deffinatly want a fi bike so I can turbocharge it, cause doing it n/a is just too expensive. So what do you guys think?? 929 or 954 or other bike better then 900rr??? Would any of them handle 200-300rwhp with stock drivetrain??? I know suzuki's have weak clutches so that puts them at the back of the least, any problems with the rest???

Thanks.

 

I had friends whom had installed turbo kits and thier bikes are always on constant repair. There will be alot of unpredictable things that will pop up.

If you really need more power I suggest you get a litre bike (any names are good enough, they are almost the same) or else the 954 (my favorite too)

 

I dont know where you heard that Suzis have weak clutches but my 02 1000 has over 30K on the stock clutch and it's perfectly fine. SOME drag racing on it and plenty of track days/commuting, the occasional wheelie, etc. Nothing wrong with it.

As for more power, if you are going to put a turbo on anything it doesn't really matter what you put it on, it's going to cost a lot of money. I would personally stick to something that has been built with an aftermarket of parts. (Hayabusa *ugly in my opinion*, pretty much any Kaw as Muzzy supports most of those with turbos, etc)

If you aren't putting a turbo on it, a 929 IMO isn't a big enough jump in power (if any) to warrant the money. I would go post 2000 (929 included if you desire) and ANY of those liter bikes will make more power than a 900RR with out some major work.

If you throw enough power at ANYTHING long enough it's going to break. No manufacturer is any different from the other, you'll spend a lot of time/money on upkeep with it making that much power.
Another thing, if it's stock wheelbase it'll be completely and utterly useless below 120mph or 4th gear. The new liter bikes make in the 160hp range and are barely useable on the street. It's nice to have.....but it's rare that I can uncork my 1000 unless on the track.

Just some things to consider.
Good luck.

 

So that is your gixxer. I thought so. If I could have two bikes the second would be a GSXR 1000 as well.


So is your name BladeEater on the gixxer forums?

 

LOL....no, it's Gixxereater over there too. It's easier to keep track of the pots I'm stirring. LOL.

It is nice......to be sure. It's better than the CBR in almost every way imaginable except for the weight on the wrists and the front brakes. The front stoppers on the 900RR are the business.....the 1000 leaves a bit to be desired in my opinion. The 900 was easier for me to get off of too, the 1000 feels like i have to hold on too tight with my legs to really get down with it. Something with the gas tank shape and the way you sit on it. Not a damning trait, just different and not as comfy at full lean with a knee on the ground as the 900.

 

buy a repsol

gixxer this, gixxer that, for christ's sakes it's a GSX-R *rant* no one calls Hondas by some lame devolved waffle like 'sibbers' swear to god I'm gonna find the pre-adult ******** from 1991 that started this, probably some hack from CycleWorld mentioned it once and now it's frick'n everywhere. 'sweet sibber one kay, dude!' 'thanx, yer gixxers rad!'

*ahem* Any new literbike will rip your arms out, so unless you're planning on competing in ProStar events, skip the turbo and get a new 1000...and more gear.

 

You mean this repsol?? lol

 

$1,000 for a turbo. Think again! If you want one that is the reall deal and not problem child at best (blown motor at worst), think bigger. If you get serious about it start hanging out on a bussa and read, read, read.
