Is that the number of miles you get before you need to adjust your valves?

Most gsxr owners are pretty squidtastic, I'll admit it. Great bikes though, I love mine.

Try an 03-04 if you get a chance, the last year they tried to balance comfort with hardcore. Unfortunately after those years they went with the market and comprimised comfort for .001% track advantage. I'm 6'4 and I fit on my 03 1000 fine even with rearsets.

The "k" prefix is the generation designation aka mark, every time the model gets updated it's listed in the blue book and catalogs as one k higher. My '03 is a k3, the 04 is a k4 even though they look almost identical, the 04 had changes made to the suspension and brakes so it's called a different generation.

I didn't know it had anything to do with the generation of the bike.

I thought it designated the year. like k6 is short for 2k6 (k being a thousand obviously) which is short for 2006.

Yup you were right, wonder where I got that idea from??

This is why:

GSX-R Models are often referred to using their model codes W,Y,K1. These can be useful when ordering parts or downloading manuals.

GSX-R 1986 - (G)
GSX-R 1987 - (H)
GSX-R 1988 - (J)
GSX-R 1989 - (K)
GSX-R 1990 - (L)
GSX-R 1991 - (M)
GSX-R 1992 - (N)
GSX-R 1996 - (T)
GSX-R 1997 - (V)
GSX-R 1998 - (W)
GSX-R 1999 - (X)
GSX-R 2000 - (Y)
GSX-R 2001 - (K1)
GSX-R 2002 - (K2)
GSX-R 2003 - (K3)
GSX-R 2004 - (K4)
GSX-R 2005 - (K5)
GSX-R 2006 - (K6)
GSX-R 2007 - (K7)

As you can see, The K simply refers to the year of production starting with 2001.

Oh good gravy!!! We were at bike night Weds and some dork on a R6 circled the parking lot doing stoppies for about an half hour. Then him and his buds, 2 R6s,a GSXR1k,a GSXR600,a CBR F3, a R1 and a 636 all rocked wheelies as they left. Btw two guys on choppers did huge burnouts as they left. It's a numbers game,GSXRs out sell all other sportbikes so....more dorks have them. Simple. Yeesh!
