Again, for those who absolutely positively must have the latest and greatest (and for the squid in all of us, some more so than others....)

Niice. I've always considered it the pinnacle of Japanese sportbike design.

Dunno why, but I keep hearing "Oh, but I blew up the last R1 that I had because it couldn't handle my riding..." Why are guys messing these bikes up? I think they are the nicest looking of the bunch though. Had I waited around a bit longer, I would have had the gloss/flat black 06 R1. I like my buell, but I get a craving for that smoother accleration that I just can't get from this bike.

Man, I love my R1. I've never had any problems with it. I don't stunt or any of that crap so that probably helps.

We call the gloss/ flat black R1s color - Raven
