    I have finally decided to retire from track riding and Coaching/Instructing and I'm putting my Track Bike up for sale. It's got a ton of goodies on it and has been nothing but reliable for me. So here is the list of equipment that's on it and will go with the bike when it is sold.....

    * Bike is solid and straight and up front is K-Tech 20mm internals with 10.0 N springs. I also have a set of the Fluidology Fork Extenders on the front forks and all work was done by CTR Suspensions in Knoxville
    * Rear shock was bought new in 2016 and is a K-Tech 35DDS Lite which was setup up by CTR also. The shock has a 105 N spring on it and is adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping. There is also a set of shims between the frame and top shock mount to get the proper setup for the bike. This bike is setup for a rider weighing approx. 200 lbs without gear. It is very well setup for the track.
    * Front brakes consist of a 2014 R1 Yamaha Master cylinder and a set of Yamaha R6 calipers from a late model bike, with the proper mounting shims installed to make them work on the GSXR front wheel/discs. The calipers up front have a set of Vesrah SRJL-XX pads in them. The braking is definitely +100% better than stock stuff that came from Suzuki.
    * Brake lines are Stainless Goodridge all the way around and Motol 600 RBF fluid
    * Brake and Clutch levers are CRG brand RC2 shorties in Red. Of course the brake side is a lever that fits the R1 Master and the clutch side is one that fits the stock Suzuki clutch perch.
    * Rearsets are Vortex brand and they are setup for GP shift, but could be turned back around and set up for normal shift pattern.
    * Exhaust is a Yoshimura R55 slip on and the bike comes with a spare Exhaust Tip from Yosh.
    * Power Commander is loaded with a Custom Map from Apex (STT's mobile Dyno) and it makes right at 126 HP, although I don't have the dyno sheet. The map is setup for 89 octane pump fuel, so no VP stuff needed to have some fun.
    * Also included is an XT Ultra Lap that is semi mounted to the tail section of the bike.....that means it could be removed if you wanted to. The mounting is very secure though, and no issues there.
    * Body work is SharkSkins and they have been professionally repaired and Painted after a slow speed low side at Barber right after I got the bike. I've been riding the bike since then and have had Zero issues.
    * Frame Sliders are Yoshimura brand
    * Lifting spools on the rear swing arm
    * Tank is OEM and comes with Stompgrip panels on it as well as a Vortex Keyless gas cap
    * Steering Damper is an Ohlins unit and is mounted under the triple
    * Coolant...Presently has Engine Ice in it and is rated for -26 degress
    * Safety Wire...The Oil fill, filter, and drain plug is safety wire. The rear Axle nut is also safety wired
    * Battery was new as of July 2016. It's a traditional sealed Flooded Lead Acid and has been kept on a Battery Tender in the off season. Bike starts right up and no issues there.
    * Mileage....12,433
    * Title....Clear Title in Hand.....no lein

    I am located in the Knoxville, TN area and I'm asking $6500 for the bike with all the stuff listed in my description. I've got way more in it, so it's probably a great price for someone looking for a nice GSXR-750.

    Contact info: Cell: 865-304-0254...call or text...just not after 9PM....I get up at 3:30AM to get ready for work.


    SPARE PARTS PACKAGE:
    I also have for sale, separately, some spares that I would like to sell along with the bike. The spares include
    * Two complete sets of wheels (front and back) with brake rotors on all four wheels. One set of wheels have a BRAND NEW set of Michelin Power Cup Evos on them that are mounted and balanced and ready to put on.....never been used. The other set of wheels have a set of older Michelin Rain Tires mounted on them and they may or may not be in great shape. They are several years old, but have been stored out of the sun....so they may be OK....I just don't know for sure. Both sets of wheels are straight and I have rotated them through usage since I've owned them. It's always nice to have spare tires mounted and balanced and ready to swap out when you are at the track......or rain tires to put on when those rainy Southern Track Days happen. We rode rain or shine, so the rain tires were just part of my "toolbox" so to speak.
    * Spare OEM (Suzuki) front brake perch with OEM lever
    * Spare Yamaha R1 Brake perch
    * Spare front axle with nut
    * Spare Rear axle with nut and adjuster blocks
    * Spare Sprocket Carrier with a Vortex alum 48 T sprocket and a Captive wheel spacer in it.
    * Two sets of the Rubber Dampers that fit in between the carrier and the wheel.

    Spare Parts Package price is $00.00and includes everything listed in the description.
    Contact info is of course the same as above. I would love to sell the Bike AND the Spare Parts Package as one but would sell the Bike and Spares package separately.

    Here are the Pictures that I took of the bike....

    Thank you Stu...and Maddie. It's definitely going to "different" this summer. Track days have been a major part of our lives since 2005/2006. It felt pretty weird today when I was getting the bike out of the garage....and knowing that it was coming out to take some pics and make a list of the "stuff" that was on it for writing up the For Sale Ad. :(

    Thank you Marc for the kind words. We have worked with and have been around some of the finest people we've ever known. What an experience for the last 11 years down here in the South......tons and tons of great memories for sure. We are both in our middle 60s though, and it's now time. We plan on, some time this summer, coming to an event and spend some time socializing for the day or part of a day. Thanks again and hopefully we'll see y'all this summer.

    When Peggy gave it up, knew you would not be too far behind.
    Good luck with the sale, my friend.

    I am bumping this to the top as I've decided to include the "Spares Package" with the price of the bike....$6500. Take a close look at the bike and everything it has on it, then look at the Spares list and see what else comes with it.
