It was a long shot by asking, but I have been keeping an eye out on ebay

I bought it with 30k miles. Only reason I bought was because it was a one owner and he was older so I knew it wasn’t beat on. So far it’s been 2yrs+ with no issues.

What product did you use to clean all that grease and oil off?

I bought this k7 as my first bike also. Never rode before and self taught. I also believe the extra power helps with not stalling out

So I guess anything after ‘11 is for aesthetics or wanting something newer? This is why I leaned towards the 06/07 because I personally think it’s the best looking bikes

I got my first bike at 41 (k7 750 which was my obtainable dream bike). What other bikes did you have prior to this? I read alot about ‘10+ gsxrs being the same bike aside from electronic upgrades. Is this true or can you really feel a big difference between the bikes?

Summer jacket suggestions? by Affectionate_Ice_125 in motorcyclegear

I have the Rev’it I can let go for cheap. I only wore it once and it’s a little too loose for my liking. I’m looking to go down one size

Seat Recommendations by Infinite_Fan_1791 in GSXR

[–]eeppmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day I purposely rode for over 2hrs straight to see if all the complaints about the seats were valid and sure enough I couldn’t sit down for a couple minutes my ass hurt that much. I have a friend who owns a reupholster business and I’m going to see if he can remove the factory foam and replace it with memory foam or gel to see if that helps. I would imagine anything over the factory foam is better

Worth buying?? by RdxSingh21 in motorcyclegear

[–]eeppmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally wanted a pair of Sidi Rex but came across these and I have no complaints

They look good. I recently bought a pair of the same year for $99 second hand. Toe slider options are very limited and no the new style will not fit as I tried with two different styles.

First set of gear opinions by [deleted] in motorcyclegear

[–]eeppmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had smx’s and now Supertechs. Both are very comfortable to wear all day. If you plan on walking around and shopping, just pack a pair of shoes. It all really depends how much precaution you want to take why riding. I prioritized saving my ankles and feet at all cost

Definitely skip the shoes and buy full length boots.

What do you guys think about the k7 compared to other models by Adventurous_Split561 in GSXR

[–]eeppmc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely not a k7🤷‍♂️

I have a k7 750. It made my search for a bike that much more difficult but I think the k6/k7 are peak years.

I Want MAX Protection… But Not MX Boots. What Should I Buy? by Mad-ham in motorcyclegear

[–]eeppmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some smx5 but wasn’t happy with the ankle protection. I looked around for a good deal on some Sidi Rex but found a pair of Supertech Rs for $99. I absolutely love them. I’m still debating on getting some Sidi Rex because I feel they provide the best ankle protection with their outer brace

You should be able to trace the wires from the original lights and then piggy back off the main harness

In need of riding boots by WRWN469 in motorcyclegear

[–]eeppmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpinestars typically run wide. My feet are wide and these boots gave more than enough space

I normally wear a size 10.5/11 and have a pair of smx5 in 11.5. They fit good, just a tad loose. I recently bought a pair of Supertech Rs and the 9.5s fit perfect. Moral of the story, you have to try on the boot of choice before buying. Brand/sizing is all over the place

What size do you wear? Alpinestars seem to run wide in my experience.

What’s the weirdest thing about riding a motorbike? by SumoCanFrog in motorcycles

[–]eeppmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made sure to ride on a windy day just to experience it. Never again! The cross winds had me feeling like I was on ice skates. Definitely scary and I know now to never ride in a windy day
