I went to take a look at the new 09 R1..

To my surprice there was five of them, in all colors, they said they just got them on thursday, and haven't sold one.. I was very dissopointed with the way they looked and sound, they actually dont sound to good in person, they need a full exhuast for sure.

It was also really big, kind of like the busa or kawi14, I didn't feel it, I know the specs are there for a bad ass bike but the love was not... I feel a little wierd, I always like the Yamaha line, just not this one... :thumbdn

Not every bike is for every person :fact My buddies all told me the 07 looked like shit. I went with them to the dealer to see for myself, and told them they were on crack. Bought one two days later :lol

I think you should seek anger management classes. You're not supposed to beat her down! :lol

Actually didn't care for the new R1 when the first pics came out, but seeing it in person changed my view.

HUH!

anyone that rides a 450 is clearly not "afraid."

just they actually want some grunt to go with that zing.

I"m with ya man. I've honestly been scared worse on 250's than any naturally aspirated literbike. Just tremendous ability to wheely off a corner with the rear wiggling in any gear.

Literbikes are fast, but don't have that same "more power than you know how to deal with, everywhere." to them.

lol i told my dad i wasn't sure about riding that... he said
"you need to take the devil by the horns, and fuck em in the ass"

that is when i knew i would be scared of riding that thing!!! there really isn't much like riding one of those monsters, it accelerates harder than my R1 ever could from a stop, and is just plain rediculous all around, you need wide open spaces to ride that thing :lol

ya man. Huge powerwheelies and obsene wheelspin, any gear, any speed, any surface. No literbike really compares to that.

500 2-stroke dirtbikes are like a mean joke. There's nowhere that they're really terribly usefull in my mind. Just meant to scare the shit out of people.

I'd looooooove to make a motard out of one. It'd be the ultimate hooligan bike.

we could be able to retrofit something they stopped making them in 01 IIRC
