Fuck the 2008 R1. I think you mean 2009+. With an exhaust it almost sounds like a Ducati.

Is the 2009 the crossplane bike? Then no..it sucks. Get an 06-08...much more flickable bike.

What would you prefer, another generic 4-cyl? ....or one that has a nice beat to it. Let's face it, the R1 is the only Jap bike with any distinctive feature about it. The rest are all the same.......Traction control, BPF, 3-mode ECU, radial brakes, slipper clutch........almost all of them have that shit now. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-07-2011 at 09:46 PM.. |

I prefer inlines to V-twins for canyon riding....I have better throttle control with inlines. And the only reason for BPF is because they are cheaper, yet inherently more expensive to do front end work.

Yeah I was mistaken when he first posted the 2008...I thought that was the heavy crossplane bike...but it is not.
