As some of you may know, my previous bike was totaled thanks to a deer.. and poor decisions on my behalf for trying to take the back roads to the gym late at night.
Long story short, I got a nice check for $3,000ish over what I paid for the 2005 zx10r, due to the upgrades I purchased the bike with, and parts I installed afterwards. Welp, I took the money down to Atlantic City and more than doubled the $3,000 dollars..:fire I've been eyeing up the 2014' waiting for it to come around the corner but I haven't still heard much about it since it's so new. I've also been eyeing up the 04-05 R1's and the 07-08 R1's.:gengar:
Option Uno - Put $4,000-$5,000 down on a new 2014 R1 ( I've never financed anything before, I've purchased all used motor vehicles. Which is also why I was contemplating, and patiently waiting for this 2014 R1. To help build my credit, but I've recently moved into an Apartment with my girlfriend, and I don't feel that it's right to buy a brand new toy without a garage to keep it crispy in. I don't think a tight cover in my driveway is the proper route.. :sissy:
Option Dos - Hopefully make a deal with this guy this week, or the following. Get a great deal on a 2007 R1, since bikes seem to be selling cheap cause a lot of people don't ride in this weather! Not have to worry about payments, and I think storing it in my driveway with an expensive cover should be fine.
Question: Is there a Raven Model for the 2007?
:Is there an alternative side exciting exhaust, similar to the Graves on the Crossplane?
And lastly tell me what ya guys think


Compared to my 2005 ZX10-R do you guys think this bike will handle better? And do the 2007 models still lack that mid-range and than kinda take off?
