Pictures of the R1

[347Mike]

It still has a lot of cleaning to do but I washed it up a bit. There is some asphalt underneath the seat and I thought it was going to be easy to wash off. The hose got most of it but the shit that isn't coming off is practically engraved into the exhaust.

Believe it or not it sits the same as the 600s maybe a bit taller. I can still rest my feet flat on the pavement though. I do however look small as fuck on it. You've seen me, this bike eats me for dessert.


Ive been trying to lean it over more and I can tell its a big more of a struggle than the GSXRs for some reason. I don't know if its the 50 or so lbs weight difference or the 190 tire. Granted I haven't ridden in several months on a daily basis, but still.

Its the 190/50 tire. Thats why I keep suggesting the 190/55

What tire pressure are you running? I think my rear is 33 and front is 32. It could probably use a bit more but I have heard a bunch of people running low 30s

+1

the taller profile will make the tire more of a "triangle" shape and be much easier to lay over.

btw, that sig GIF was NASTY. that had to suck balls.

I like 36 rear 38 front For normal street riding. I go with 32 rear 34 front when I want to hit some twistys
