Currently have four GSXR1000K8s available now. Plus all the parts to build a fifth bike (minus the engine).

All bikes built to a similar spec. plus spares. Would make the perfect starting point for a new team.

New 2008 models built in March. Engines already refreshed at least once this season with new valves, etc.

When last tested made 185 hp on the Arrow WSB dyno. All suspension maintained by Ohlins Sweden, Ohlins UK or Andreani Group.

We have the GSXR1000K7 that we bought in August last year for sale. We bought it to use the engine in our race bike for three rounds whilst our other one was rebuilt. Aside from 15 miles running in on the dyno the rest of the bike had 0 miles on it until a test in February at Almeria.  

For Almeria we added a new Arrow race exhaust system, new Tsubaki chain and Renthal sprockets, new Stomp Tank Grips, new GPR steering damper, new Robby Moto rear sets, new R&G Crash Bobbins & Paddock Stand Bobbins, new Performance Friction brake pads and one of our spare fairings from 2007.

The bike covered approximately 400 kms at Almeria including an 80km race where the bike led Leon Haslam for 12 of the 14 laps and finished just 0.5s behind at the end. It also received a brand new ECU and idle valve just before we left in accordance with the factory recall for these models.

It may not be the cheapest K7 out there but it has just 400 km from new and never crashed. Most parts were brand new just before the Almeria test and it has not been used since then.

For sale now at £6500.

Also have a selection of other items that can be sold with the bike at extra cost:

- 2007 Ohlins TTX36 Rear Shock (used once since ground up rebuild)
- Andreani 25mm Fork Cartridges, with spare springs (used for four rounds only)
- Fren Tubo Carbon Brake Lines (used for less than six rounds) 
- Spare wheels with brake discs

Payment can be made by credit card if you will pay the additional 2.5% fee we are charged by the credit card company.
