IMO...get the 1000rr 2009 instead of an 07 R1. The R1 needs mods to get it right. The Honda has good shit outta the box. It's too much power for my tastes tho.
Looking at a '08 RR today. Same price, bone stock, 5000 miles.

That's an awesome bike as long as it's not one of the one's with the oil issues.

Good luck with your search.

Explain the oil issue.

They burn more oil than BP.

Not really sure how common it is.
I know two people with them. One had a problem, the other didn't. I think he said Honda replaced the pistons on the burner.

Sorry just saw this but it looks like you're going for the 08 R1 anyways.

If you do a google/Honda forums search I'm sure you'll see info on the 08 Honda's.

Don't get me wrong I love the 08 and later 1000RR but SEVERAL had oil burning/using issues with the 08's and I just wanted to make you aware if you hadn't heard anything about it. I'm not sure about the 09's and 10's.

Went riding with some forum guys yesterday. One had a '08 RR. Said it burns about .4 of a quart every second full tank. That's horrible.

That's insane. A buddy has an 04 1kRR and it doesn't burn anything. He changes the oil maybe once every 8k and the thing still chugs along. Is that street riding or track?
