Don't worry, carbed R1's still stop all over carbed Gixxers too 
DAMN!!! First ride on my 02!!!
Just got home from the dealer with my silver baby! Unfortunately it's foggy and misting here today so I only rode 4 miles However, in those 4 miles I discovered what an awesome machine this is. Keep in mind that my previous bike was a 96 GSX-R 750. The R1's power delivery simply stomps all over the the Gixxers. The riding position is very comfortable but the clutch pull seems a little heavy. It will probably lighten up a little I'm sure. The running lights look way cool and the exhaust note is actually kind of agressive for a stock can. I can't really comment on the fuel injection other than to say it works. It will take a fair amount of time in the saddle before I can really comment on it. But what really blew my mind was the unbelievable torque! :rock I never even revved it above 6500 but the hit is just awesome. I can't wait for some better weather and to get the bike broken in. Some videos will be coming when the roads clear up and I can get down to some serious corner carving :thumbup Until then I'll be gently breaking this monster machine in. See ya on the streets!
