Stolen!!! Gsxr-750 2006

[PhilJonez]

Hey everyone, just a quick "keep your eyes out", just had my K6 GSXR 750 stolen from my apartment complex.

I live at the Lavista Walk complex (corner of Cheshire Bridge and Lavista) in a gated (so what....) parking deck. Guys drove past at least 4 other bikes to get to the 4th floor to steal mine.

Anyways, it's stock blue and white, with the GSXR 750 stickers removed with a Jardine exhaust. Has about 5,300 miles on it. If you see anything similar for sale, please drop me a line.

Thanks,
Phil Jones

Phil - sorry to hear that, especially as you only just bought it! Now for the more exciting question of "what's next"?

[SlimDizzleATL]

That sucks bro. I'll be on the lookout. Especially since I'm in the area.

[PhilJonez]

Thanks guys - the sad thing is that since I've only owned it for 3 months, I haven't even gotten bored with it. Might be another GSXR750 that replaces it.... We'll see.

What kind of insurance did you have? Full covereage or liability?

[nhs]

Well, you COULD get an immaculate bought-new-last-year and with remaining warranty R6S with lots of high end goodies. I hear a highly respected member of the forum has one for sale. That'd be me, btw :)\

Good luck deciding what to get - that's a big part of the fun.

[PhilJonez]

Ha, suspect that's a bit out of my price range!!! Saw you were thinking about giving up riding, and then I think you were looking for something new. Did you pick something up? One of the triumph cafe racers by any chance??? I'm leaning towards the 750 again, but not sure. Money's tight with a year of school left to go.... :-)

If you get a replacement get LoJack esp if your in apt. I've heard of stories when bikes are stolen out of garages at Homes too it's crazy. If you value your bike Lojack is the best investment money can buy.My garage is on an alarm system but you never know if someone wants it badly they will get it.sorry about your bike I know that sucks and hopefully you get it back. I had a friend have his stolen Near Ga tech and they found it year's later stripped .

You know, I can't decide whether I'm coming or going. As of right now, I'm seriously thinking about a standard/naked bike - a Tuono or a Speed Triple. So I'm selling the R6S for a hair under $6K, for which I'm getting a lot of flack from my wife (bought new last year for $6.5K plus tax, did $1500 worth of upgrades, and just had the thing serviced at the dealer) - just listed it on here, as a matter of fact. But then next month I may decide that biking is too dangerous. If I do, I'll probably return another month later asking for opinions on yet another bike. I find it very hard to kick the habit - it's just so much darned fun! And "new" bikes constantly tickle my fancy. If I do get another bike, that would be a 3rd in just over a year - which ain't clever.

Any updates Phil?

[StreetSurf727]

That totally sux dude. You gotta be cold blooded to seal another mans motorcycle. If you don't get it back all you can do is hope that one day they will get whats coming to them one way or another. Karma is a bitch.

Ummmm, not saying that any of these posts have anything to do with my bike but...

This is the seller here - http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272582 His user name is Tr1pGSXR

EDIT - Looks like he made his posts on the 6th, so it doesn't look like it's your bike.

Although there were 2 people posting, one with engine and mechanicals (which looks like the above) posting maybe, the other with frame and suspension, so could be the later. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to recover it, so whatever... Thank god for insurance!

I agree. Call the police and see if your bike is one of the ones recovered.
Good luck either way.

Yeah, the problem is when you contact the APD they tell you "Oh, the GSP and GBI have taken over" and when you contact the GBI they tell you they don't know anything about it. Painful trying to get anyone to even pretend like they know anything....

Oh yeah, not surprised at all. Quite the opposite, it's exactly what I expected.

[scoot]

I will keep my eyes open. I am currently looking to buy another gsxr. Sorry to hear that someone took your bike.

[EDubya]

Not really pushing it cause I don't have to, but I have a K7 GSXR 750 if your looking. I may need something smaller as I'm new to this. 6500 miles. PM me of you're interested.

[PhilJonez]

Thanks Edubya, I actually picked up a 2009 Triumph Daytona last week, so I'm back in the saddle!

[Todd]

[PhilJonez]
