Glad you are ok

 

Glad ur ok. Most wives would be saying your not riding anymore let alone take you bike shopping asap.lol
Anyway i think the 07-08 are some of the nicest R1 made. I think the 09 up went in the wrong direction but hey thats IMO.
The low and mid is soft on the 07-08s but thats whats aftermarket stuff is for, right?

 

2 things..i am glad your ok and i am also glad your lady is supporting you.feel better and P.S. i love my 09 R1....

 

Love my 09, crossplane is smooth delivery throughout. Great motor. I love when people say it feels slow. Thats like going from a late 80's 14sec hot rod to a new cts-v and saying it feels slow :fact

 

My wife is cool, I used t race so she totally supports bikes. Our feeling is when its time its time and doesnt matter if you on a bike or whatever. When your times up it ups.

My wife Knows I love bikes ad honstly im pretty down right now about the bike so tats why shes like tomorrow were going bik shopping lol

I fun a brand new left over 2010 Fiat edition thats kinda catching my eye lol

 

Good luck Shelby, feel better and make that bitch buy a new bike!!

 

It's only money and you deserve it! Love my 2012 50th Anniversary!

 

Such a sick livery.

Are you in Oro Valley?

 

Sorry to hear about your incident, glad you're okay though.

I can't speak about the 07-08, but I do like the 09+ bottom end (low/mid range) compared to my 06. With the 09+ you either get used to the bike's characteristics or you don't and the added weight from the crossplane is noticeable as well. See if you can give the 09+ a test ride and decide whether it's for you or if it's back to the previous gen. Whatever you decide, stay:fork

 

I like my 09! It needed some mods to make it friendly!! but now it's as good as any.

 

09+ no power!!!! 07-08 more power....go with 07-08:fact

 

really!

 

:scared

 

glad you made out alright on the accident. make that non driving bitch pay for everything though.

I highly recommend the 09+ just remember...its restricted off the floor...a lot. before you waste money on exhaust get the ECU reflashed and go at least -1 on front sprocket...hell if you can get the dealership to toss the -1 sprocket on for you before you even drive off with it then thats even better. a lot of folks gave up on the 09+ saying it feels slow...you just have the learn how to ride all over again because the characteristics are nothing like those of previous r1s'...its strong enough and fast enough to keep up with the others. it just does it in a better way

 

Damn bud glad you're ok. I went from an '06 to a '10 and even though I thoroughly miss my '06 because I still think that raven edition is the baddest looking bike ever made....lol...I really love my '10 the sound, the low end jump, it falls into turns better, and it's the first brand new vehicle I've ever owned

I would really love to get my raven back from the handjob I sold it to(who put it on CL's a month later) but I don't regret anything...,fuk it. In the end it's an R1 it's retarded fast and it's better looking than any of the other jap bikes IMO

Speedy recovery brother! Enjoy whatever you get next!

09+ with flashed ecu and 3/4 exhaust and you have all you need! I love mine and if you are looking for more low end power than 09+ will satisfy you.

 

Glad you are okay man.
I got my self a 2010 last year. Had an 08 R6 before. Loved the 8000+ rpm power band, but wanted something with more mid and bottom end power. As I saw it, the 07-08 had a power band similar to the 08 R6 in terms of where most of the power was available. So decided to got for the 09+, and I couldn't be happier. It is unique as hell and has awesome bottom and mid range.
Get your ECU flashed to unlock the top end, and you will be all set.
Good luck.

 

get an 05-06 GSXR 1000. :fact

 

Yes I've ridden vtwins. I own a ducati 1098s as well but rarely ride it. I always wanted a Ducati and when I got I just dont enjoy because it's not a bike can just hop on and go. I don't care for it at slower speeds or in town. However I love the bike so I keep it.

 

:sneaky

 

My 09 after a few mods blows 07s away, just saying. The 07-08 only feels faster

 

Stock 07/08's maybe.

 

on a track, there's a reason the R6 is the weapon of choice. :secret:

 

I ended up buying a all black 2009 R1

 

Right on! Congrats! You will surely enjoy!

 

Man, I'm glad you're ok. Bikes can be replaced; you can't. I know its a bummer though. We picked ours up right around the same time.

 

Congrats on getting right back at it! After all the discussion in this thread, I'm very interested in how you feel about your new bike after you get at least the ECU reflash done. Please report back and have fun with her!

 

as you know mate, i'm glad you're okay.. you one lucky sob

Great to hear about the new ride! POST PICS ASAP!!

 

Awesome choice man. You will love it. Keep us posted.
