A guy I was riding with a couple of weekends ago was on one (Yamaha R1 '07)...he bought it for a track bike, but says it's too much bike for the tight courses around here..

He did a top gear roll on while we were riding and he shot ahead, I can't imagine what it is like if he downshifted a couple of gears to get into the revs... :icon_eek:  :icon_twisted:

There's been a number of nice R1s on craigslist here over the past few weeks for $2500-2900. I feel like I'm going to have to buy one eventually haha. I would just love to own one for about 3 months to get my fill and move on, but I'd definitely like to know what it feels like to have one for a while, and then just come back to normal bikes once I got the rush out of my system.

That's kind of what he said...he always wanted one, and now he can say he owned one and moved on...

Later.

I have a mate who has owned some very fast bikes but at the moment he is bike-less. So me being a good mate told him he could take my GS for a run next time I went for a ride. He was amazed at how good it was. Said it was something he should look into getting as it is heaps of fun but keeps you out of trouble because you don't have to speed on it to put a smile on ya face. He lost his licence awhile back for speeding on one of his bikes (110mph in a 50mph) He was telling me that all the supersports he owned were like that little devil that sits on your shoulder egging you on to go faster cause that's how they like to be ridden. They don't even come into their own till your around 100mph.

SAFE-T

My bike is always telling me to go over 200km/h as well. What a coincidence.  :woohoo: Dorf

My friend brought over his DRZ to leave at my house so we can do some work to it. Hopefully this is what my basement will look like soon enough anyway  :thumb:

Look how tiny that thing makes my XB look haha
