Description
Very cool retro looking, now already sought after, K5 "Gixxer" 750, with just 9, 390 miles finished in the ever cool race livery to celebrate 20 years of "Gixxers". Last of the analogue bikes and the perfect blend of power to weight ratio make these a perfect buy right now as such little money for a very accomplished reliable Japanese in-line four and being a Limited Edition it stands out from the crowd finished off with the Tri-Oval Yoshimura can embellished with "20th Anniversary". Neevesy has one of these in his personal collection as he highly rates them, one of the top 3 analogue bikes (he has a YouTube video explaining) ever - in his opinion
SADLY the bike was subject to an insurance claim back in 2008 when just a couple of years old (so nearly 20 years ago) means it is price adjusted, but what I will say is obviously a very long time ago. Don't let it put you off, as the third of a total of four owners bought it in 2009 and held on to it for 15 years so there can't have been a lot wrong!
Nearly all factory original (uncut rear mudguard, no silly indicators or coloured bolts) with the aesthetically appealing unique blue seats (have rear cowl as well), blue key & due to low mileage even the original blue painted chain!!!! The tri-oval Yoshimura can was apparently an upgrade at the time but I also have the unique original black end can (also with 20th Anniversary on) and original stamped service book with 4 stamps in (up to 7, 000 miles), thereafter self serviced so no more stamps in the book, however still only a couple of thousand miles more. Have to say it is the quietest GIXXER engine I have ever heard and sounds perfect, rides & stops perfectly as well with slick gearbox. I will put a fresh MOT on as it expired in June 2025 due to the last owner being very ill and unable to ride anymore & hence having to sell (he was gutted). Some old tax discs and V5 and that's all I have sorry.
It will need new tyres if you plan to ride with gusto as they are old but as always I have not replaced them because tyre choice seems to be oh so personal anyway.
