I'm back. Surprised that my old login still works!

Hello folks.   Its been a while since I posted!  My GS-500 is gone, but I'm not.     Will try to pop in every now and again to try to add to my 555 (now 556) posts!

I imagine that there are a whole bunch of new peeps on the board to get to know.

How do you like the R1? Hardly any difference is there!?

How do you like the R1? Hardly any difference is there!? 

My first upgrade from the GS500 was a 1999 R6 (you can read about it here.  My next bike was a 2003 R6 (post) and then I eventually ended up with my 2004 R1.

Its been a few years since I have ridden a GS500... and yes, there is a noticeable difference between riding the two of them.

Not sure what I would go to next if I could afford it.  When I started riding I was single and paying $500/month in rent.  Now I am married with a new baby girl and paying all of the bills... so a new bike won't be in the cards for a while.

I do like the ZX1Rs and the Duc 1098... but I might have to compromise on something more comfortable for my wife to ride pillon on.
