Hey dudes! Just read a review on motorcycle.com where the 02 954 is tested against an o1 R1. As i knew lokking past all of Honda's inflated marketing BS, the One, prodeces a bit more overall power and a bunch more low end grunt than the 954! Hey listen, i'm not knocking Honda,as i've woned four of them, but one thing i can't stand is nonsense hype. At the bike show, A continously running commercial boasted 154hp Blah,blah,blah... but in the end, the bike ,while undenialbly fast, still lacks grunt! And in this class, lack of grunt is the kiss of death!

Yah! Saw that article too.

I won't change for anything to a CBR.. they are too much touring (sitting position). I love the racing feel of the R1.
