Just a quick question...
I'am buying my first bike soon, a GSX 600F katana. Thought that it would be cool to have afterburner on :p
So is it something i can upgrade, or is it built-in on the engine?
I'am total n00b, have very little experince with motorcycles he he...

But if i'am able to get afterburner on it, i would ask the dealer to do it right of from the start. I don't know how to fix stuff like that myself :D

I promised a girl i would pick her up from school... Then go sky diving afterwords... (She is so hot ;) )

Anyway... it would be great with som help

My first POST :) yeah !!!
sorry for my english :p

ohh ... almost forgot, i'am 18 :D

No seriusly.... Is it something i can upgrade ?
Or is it unable to fit onto a GSX 600F engine?

Because if i can fit a afterburner system on, i would do it no matter the cost.... (Ok, maybe not if it's too expensive:p)

COME ON GUYS GIVE HIM A BREAK. TRY www.afterburners.com
Well that link doesn't work ( at least not at this time ).

So what is an afterburner ?

If he want's to go fast ( I'm assuming that's what an afterburner does ) why get the Kat rather than a GIXXER.

What experience does he have ?

What training does he have ?

Hope it's not my daughter he's picking up.

What's a newbie with no exp doing taking passengers, especially when his obvious aim is to impress a hot babe ?

Just done a quick search to try and find out about afterburners,I can't find much info,but it seems it is only a cosmetic enhancement,he isn't wanting to fit a turbine to the bike like I first thought. :wink:

Well... i have been reading about afterburners...

What i have found is, that it is supposed to strike flames out of the exhaust system (Would look cool)... It is supposed to give the bike alot of kick when speeding up. Every time you gear up or down it gives a kick, that way you get a better start on the acceleration ;)

That is what i have heard/read about afterburner :p
But i'am doing it to make the bike look cool.. would be cool to strike som flames while waiting for the lights to turn green ;)

She would like me to go 200 kph though the city nonstop, from one end to the other. With her on the back :p
Not sure it will go 200kph with her on but...

There "is" something called afterburner, since i read that one of the Kawasakies has it on. It does heat alot, and gives a hard kick when gearing down, that's why some take it off...

But i may be wrong :)

Almost forgot... your www.afterburner.com link does not work :)

About the gixxer

I going to start small.... later i will buy a cool one ;)
I would like to start on a bike that does not kill me :p
I'll get a good one later... When i get the hang of it i'll be looking for one that is able to go 320 kph or something, with a acceleration of 0-100 on 2.7 secends or so...

But for know, i'll go with the small GSX 600F.
I'll give it free to my little brother when i'll buy a new one :p
Going to buy it as new ;)

So let's start again,

How old are you?
Do you have any training ?
Where are you located ?

Katana 600 is bigger than what we recommend for beginners, we also recommend buying used for a first bike. Less painfull financially and emotionaly when you drop it the first couple of times.

Rather see a newbie on a GS500 of a Ninja 500, both fine bikes that'll outrun most any car on the road. Before dreaming of breaking the 200mph barrier start by seing how it feels to ride a bike at 40-50mph and work up from there.

P.S don't try and draw too much attention to yourself if you don't want to look foolish when you drop it or stall out or if you don't want to sell your bike to pay for fines.

Learn to ride a bike safely before you do anything else,and that doesn't mean passing your test,it means passing your test AND getting some experience.
If this girl you are trying to impress wants to finance everything she wants you to do and guarantee your safety then do what she says,otherwise,use your head.You have no bike experience but want to ride with a pillion through the middle of town at warp speed with flames shooting out the back of your bike!
I have a funny feeling you are also lying about your age,I am guessing nearer 14 than 18.

Anyway, thanks for helping me decide to buy a GS 500F..

Yestoday the hot girl gave me 6 VERY strong painkillers...
Thought it was some "Not so strong" prinkillers. So i ate them all in one shot... Later that day, i was so sick and dissy i thought i was going to die !
Lucky i feel ok now, but that was not fun :(....
All she had to say for her defence was: "sorry...did not know you were goin to take them all at once".
Then again, maybe i did take too many at once :p

Well.... i learned a lessen for life ;)
1 step closer to manhood :p
