i have met many riders who made the switch i wish you all would just come to the realization that your ride doesnt compare

Woo!Hoo!I just got my first Yamaha ever and boy let me tell you that I'm happier then a fat kid in a candy store.How could I have been so blind not to go with a Yamaha before.All my life I was a die hard Gsxr-1000 fan and swore by them,don't get me wrong there still great bike's in my book,but once you try an R1 its like talking about apples and oranges.Just riding one feels like your Rossi at Gp were as the Gixxer feels like your to far into the bike to get a descend feel for it on the road.All I have to worry about now is how to keep it away from those damn bike thieves.
