JLawson90 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 so, I've been offered a totally 100% oem standard GSXR1100 slingshot (1992) in a straight swap for my fightered TL1000R .. obviously I'm seriously considering this, but is this as rare as I think? when i say 100% standard, I mean totally unmodified, even the standard exhaust system and undertray etc, all looks in very good nick too
kenty Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 post a pic of it ........ include the address where it is and someone can go and have a look ......... and maybe tell you if it's worth having lol
JLawson90 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 haha nice try! this is a picture of it though ..
JLawson90 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 thats the thing, i wouldnt be modding it but i probably would be breaking it .. as i need a donor and some cash to do a huc outlaw build .. i know i know before i get abuse lol, it does seem like a huge shame to break up such a nice example
JLawson90 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 they're one of the things I would need unfortunately mate haha 1
Captain Chaos Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I suppose you'll keep the front forks as well?If yes then keep the TLR.
KATANAMANGLER Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 they're one of the things I would need unfortunately mate hahaThen my official position is I don't care . 1
Oilyspanner Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Too good to part out, worth more as a whole - you'd get little more than for a tatty bike as parts.and double that for the whole thing - from the pic that bike would be snapped up by someone who likes GSXRs.
JLawson90 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 yes id need the forks too haha, thats the thing i would feel bad stripping this down because of how nice it is when all i really need for a donor bike is a tatty one or a tatty mk1 bandit 1200
Captain Chaos Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 1) swap the bikes2) ride the 11003) sell the 1100 for good money, buy a ratty donor bike4) profitor even better....1) swap the bikes2) ride the 1100, fall in love with it3) sell the huc outlaw thing4) more profit 1
JLawson90 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I haven't actually bought the outlaw frame yet, so i guess your last suggestion could still happen haha, i am pretty set on doing it though..problem with selling on the gsxr whole is that it could take a while as its a bad time of year for selling, and i was hoping to have my outlaw build done by april
Captain Chaos Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) that's why I suggested "ride the 1100", and sell it in spring. If you will still want to sell it at all. Edited December 1, 2015 by captain chaos
JLawson90 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 but then I would be without a bike for a few months while i did the outlaw! it's my only transport as well so id rather be without during coldest few months of the year when riding will be restricted anyway
