Sorry guys.
That Gixxer is a deal and a half. I'd be all over that if I had room.
The "slabbies" are the most desirable of that vintage.
This example has TWO NRC covers (Un obtainium)
This example has RS Mikuni flat slides (there is a $1000 if you can find them)
This example has original wheels (almost un obtainium)
I understand that GTAM thinks that anything older than a 2010 model bike is just old junk, but in reality there is a thriving market for vintage.
Some of us have no use what so ever for "new bikes". I, personally, own more than 25 bikes; ranging from a 1956 Norton Domi 99 (oldest bike I own) to a 1993 Ducati Supersport (the newest bike I own)(that I was using to pass much newer, much more expensive bikes at the Ducati track days a couple of weeks ago).
To me, "modern" bikes are all the same, alot like having a meal of a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread, with the crust trimmed off, with a glass of white milk.
To each his own....
PS: If you want to see some cool old bikes; This weekend the Vintage Road Race Assn. is at Calabogie or at Mosport Aug. 31 thru Sept.2. Bikes from the '40s thru to 1989. You will see several Gixxer "slabbies".
... and yeah I'm trying to buy that Gixxer. I'll make room.
