Re: so i am now scared to wheelie my gsxr

We were out riding a couple weeks back and came up on a gsxr 750 that the frame snapped along the welds on both sides.

I have a pic on my phone, Ill try to figure out how to post it

I saw it also, looked just like your pics Guru and all this kid did was bump a guard rail at around 80 or 90

the welds must be weak from the factory on those model 750s and probably the 600s too
