09 R1
« on: April 24, 2013, 09:49:24 AM »
I always have to have one modern sport bike around the house. While the Cb's handle great in comparison to many of today's bikes nothing compairs to this old girl.

Got her last year as a new/old stock bike and the dealer threw in a ti/carbon FMF exhaust. Sounds killer with the crossplane crank, reminds me of a VFR.

Haven done much to it other than the following:

HID headlights
FMF Exhaust
Frame sliders/case savers/swing arm spulls
Windscreen
Renthal grips
GIVI tank bag/quick release mount (awesome!!)
Seat covers
Solo seat cover
Flush mount blinkers
Intergrated Tail
Werks tag bracket
Shorty levers
S/S brake lines and new pads

Nice bike! When I first started riding on the street coming out of high school 10 years ago, I wanted a sportbike more than anything. But, couldn't afford one because I was putting all my money into my car at the time and had access to my dad's cruiser anyway. I've not yet had the opportunity to ride a sportbike. It's better I not know what I'm missing. I imagine it's a constant exercise in self control! Perhaps when I'm a more mature rider, the thrill of speed will settle down for me and I'll be able to enjoy one safely. I always hear good things about the R1 and the R6.

Great looking fireblade Killer Canary. Im a huge RC51 fan and have always wanted one...

Keith I hear ya man. To be honest the R1 gets riden the least out of the bunch for that very reason. I normaly ride it on the realy nice days out to our cop friendly roads in the county. The Cb is normaly the daily buzz around town bike...

I had a 2011 Ninja 250. Best bike I've ever had and I kick myself every day for selling it.
