Got a chance for the deal of a century on a 07 gixxer 1000 with 900 miles on it. Yellow & black. Fell over in a garage & broke a mirror & lever, big deal. Thing is bad ***. Anyone rockin' one of these? I don't know **** about the suzuki's

MATT L

Would love to have one for a stoppie bike:YEAH

Kevmo7

if your gettin a mean deal go for it, i dont know anybody rockin one, but the way i see it, absolutly killin a bike that nobody stunts will make you kinda famous kinda quick haha

y2kmk

arent the 07's the ones having the frames crack?

MATT L

Now that I think about it, I might have heard that somewhere too, can't remember though.

Kevmo7

nah wasent it the 06 750?

it was crackin at the neck and givin people horrible accidents

jordanv3122

dont all suzukis? lol they do have the 3 way setting for rain and whatnot... thats kinda cool.

Josh Faught

ya they are there is pics all over the net.....that would suck

Kevmo7

yeah that rain setting idea is good, turns the power right down and makes it alot more smoother aparently

Jay Carnes

and that is why I ask questions! Are the frames cracking under extreme stunting & crashing? Or just snappin when my fat *** lands a wheelie

Kevmo7

im sure it was a 750 aye, but yeah it was like people riding down the road and hittin a little bump and the whole thing would snap, but im sure its not the 1000

Josh Faught

i think just casual hwy whoolies

Kevmo7

cant you just reinforce it or something?? put like a sheet off steel over it or some ****?? i duno im mechically retarded so i wouldnt know what to do haha

y2kmk

I dont think welding steel to aluminum would be a good idea

A kid at the lot I go to set his bike down from a wheelie and the frame snapped right at the welds. I think its all the 06/07 models that are weak like that.

Doin' work on that 1k!

S.I.T

Yes, it was the 06 and 07 frames on the 600's, 750's and 1000's that are prone to snapping at the neck where it's welded to the frame. Would probably make an ideal lot bike under slow conditions, but as far as faster **** goes, you could be looking at a possible break point on or around the neck.....

Google that and look at all the cases of those frames breaking. Pictures of the breaks clearly show the welds not penetrating the metal properly. Worst part is that many of the documented cases had riders traveling both wheels on the ground some moving as slow as 25mph.
