Just heard someone picked up an R1 tonight...

Lets see some pics!!!

I will get some after it gets a bath. It is filthy but in perfect (IMO) condition. A few minor scatches on the rear seat where you lift your leg and some light scratches on the fairing but nothing a little soap and water can't get off.

I will say out of the previous R6 and 07 GSXR I had this one seems much more solid in comparison. When you shift gears it is smooth and pops right into gear. It does seem a bit bulkier than a GSXR though. The GSXR stance and feel feels much more agile (IMO) than the R6/R1 but still like it.

I do however think I have been spoiled by the gear indicator on the GSXR. It is convenient in my opion and helps me not grab for that 7th gear...

7th gear is a bitch!

Man, this bike does have some balls. It feels much more torquey than my 750.

It needs new tires (190/55/17 rear) It really makes the R1 feel much lighter in the turns. Also should do the race baffles, 4300k HID, and -1 front sprocket.

I just did a -1 +2 sprocket change on mine and it woke it the fuck up. This thing is a rocket now.

I am not sure what tires are on it now to be honest but it is 180, not 190. The back tire has probably 1,000 miles on it and the front could probably use a changing in another 1,000-1,500 miles.

The lights, well, these lights are fucking bright. I don't know specifics but they are brighter than just about any car/bike I have seen. Maybe Brien disagrees.

As for the sprocket. I am sure an R1 is more than enough for lil ole me to be messing with any sprockets right now.

Depending on what time I get off today I may roll to the gtg.

Get a bike already, damnit! I may actually put more than 40 miles on this one, not sure yet.. lol

No, no dirt bikes or water toys at the moment. I will let you know if I change my mind though. It always changes so who knows.. lol

Honestly man I haven't even touched it. I have been so swamped (minus this little journey) to do anything.

Mike, i realllllyyyyyy miss the RR, but i was going to kill myself on that thing. Plus, with this impending move, it wouldn't be a great idea to scoop up something that'll barely get used.
