And well......i liked it, didnt get to open it up it was just around my neihborhood...but yah its a nice ass bike lol thanks carl.....now you have me wanting another bike 10 times as bad

 

they are fun as shit, and lots o powa! Ride my friends often, and I get to open it up on these country twisty roads. I never thought I would like it cause it looked like the seating stance was too agressive, but its actually comfortable and the seat is 1000 x's better then the seat that was on my f4i that might as well have been a piece of plywood.

 

I love mine!!

 

ANY seat is 1000x better than a Honda seat. Seriously... Piece of plywood is a good descrip of all Honda seats.

 

yes honda = plywood seats.... o well

ill trade a lil comfort for reliability

 

my R1 has been a great bike. never broke down.

 

seriously, i dont care what anyone says, ALL the jap bikes have great dependability.

 

Ecept ZX11's

 

the ONLY bike I have ever had problems with was a Honda. Not saying its true for everyone, but my cbr 900rrs motor blew, twice, my little xr100 that I had as a kid had to have the carbs cleaned if the bike sat for more than a week, and of all the yamaha's I currently, and previously have owned, not one has ever, EVER broken ANYTHING.

this is my experience, yours may vary.
