Had my Suzuki GSXR 1000 K7 stolen on 24/05/09 in the early hours. LL08 JJV
Managed to get through 2 chains on ground anchors, alarmed and blocked in by 2 cars didnt stop them.
Ill post recent pics of it.
Had Arrow exhausts and y-pipe, carbon yoke cover, tinted d/bubble screen, carbon hugger, R&G protectors, scottoiler, HID headlight replacement and most unusual complete Suzuki paint protection film applied with scuff on RHS of fuel tank.
Also some nice white rim tape and Suzuki wheel rim stickers.
I’ve never really understood how, when a car is blocking in a bike they’re still able to nick it. Is it just a case of them being able to lift it above head height? That would seem very difficult.
The tough bit is that they can probably break the bike and sell the parts for more than the bike would fetch on the used market, unless you had alphadot or some kind of DNA paint sprayed on all the parts.
Sold secure approved ones that were not bolt croppable by hand apparently!!!
Although the police told me that they are now using portable battery powered hydraulic bolt croppers that will cut through even the thickest chains with ease, seems short of wiring the chains up to the mains if they really want to take it they can
First of all sorry to hear… mofos need their hands cut off…
So what area was it from mate? East London and Essex is a big place… I will keep an eye as I am based that way but would help to know.
I do think we need harsher punishment once cough in the act with 100% evidence. Death penalty for killing another human being and some phisical punishement for thefts (cut hand off or fingers)… why not… obviously you need that 100% evidence… else you can get innocents getting punished.
P.S. What about the cars? were they damaged? also what about the alarm?? didn’t you hear it? Looks to me that if a professional wants it there is nothing you can do… they can simply come down wait for you to unlock it then stick a gun to your head… or worse come inside the house and cause more damage and grief.
Jesus that is awful, it really brings it home to me how careless I can be. I rest on my laurels that I live in a ‘nice area’ but mine just has an alarm and sits outside the front of my house. No ground anchor and unfortunately no car to block it in. Stupid really when I consider how gutted I’d be if the worst happened.
I seriously hope you hear something, I will keep a look out for you. Best of luck xx
that said if pro thieves want it, 9/10 they will have it!
i live in east london, i very very nearly bought a spanking 05 R6…i didnt i got my SV1000, less chance of that going missing, and i can park it most places in london without worrying…a sign of the times i’m afraid.
seriously dude, i know of sooooooooo many gixxa’s gone missing round essex/east london, pop in johns of romford and ask them, they have had a good few customers bikes go missing, many pf them well secured too, and all mainly gixxas.
