    2005 GSX-R750 Track Bike $4900

    No, you're not taking this one to the street, but you can show your stuff on the track. Tired of those MM93 wannabes on 600s with all their corner speed? Show them the business end of your Ti-Force exhaust as you put those extra 150cc to work down the straights.

    What, you happen to be pretty good at cornering yourself? Well the Penske triple clicker shock (rebuilt by thermosman over the winter) and the GP Suspension cartridges in the forks (new seals last year) and Ohlins steering damper will let you show them why Mat Mladin did his best work on a Suzuki.

    Have you noticed all the new cars are available in gray? Just look at the gray on this GSX-R contrasting against the (slightly crooked) neon rim tape on both sets of wheels that also have Braking brand floating wave rotors. No, the third (third!) set of wheels only has stock brakes and no rim tape, but let's be honest - you'll only use those in the rain when those track photographers are hiding in their trailer anyway.

    Wait, do I spy the $15 Woodcraft spring on the rear master cylinder, you ask? Yes it is! No small expense was spared. Other low-cost mods included the color-matched Renthal grips and stomp grip tank pads.

    What about between sessions, though? Keep your pits looking professional by using the spares to build an almost complete back-up bike. Frame, swingarms, forks, brake calipers, rear sets, fairings, gas tank - even a spare engine! Yes, it does need a little transmission repair, but I know the distinguished rider on a 17 year old weapon like this does their own wrench work anyway and relishes the opportunity to get things set back into order.

    Yes, those low-weight, low-price stands do come with the bike. The wheels on the bike have Q4's used for one weekend and the spare set has Power slicks used for one weekend. The third set is naked and waiting for the rain tire of your choosing.

    See below for a less loquacious listing of the details.

    Yes, the price is negotiable. Don't ask me for my best price though because we have to haggle to get there - just like they did in 2005. Make an offer like a Gen-X'er would. This isn't Carmax.

    Bike is near Huntsville, Alabama and could be transported to Barber, Tally, Polecat, or Jennings during the weekends I'm riding there.

    Note: I do have the gray lowers for the fairings on the bike. Didn't realize until after I listed in they weren't in the pics. I left them off because it gets me points at tech inspection because they can see my aircraft-quality safety wire work easier.
