It's the cheesy name thing.. Just another black bike that has a name associated with it. I only call mine "Raven" to annoy the guys on the inferior colored R1's...:finger

It's a great looking machine in any color, that's for sure. The only people I've ever had dis the color are guys on blue or red R1's and of course they like theirs better or they would have bought the black one. It's just a color, buy what you like... I think more people drool over the black bike just because it has that mean sinister look. Just my .2

Oh yeah... RAVENS RULE :rock :lol

I have 2 blue R1's which I prefer, but I must admit, the black is a badder more sinister looking bike as you noted.:rock If I had the :dollar i'd have every color combo in each year.:thumbup

Our R1s are awesome. But like everyone else says... it is BLACK. It's not like we call the blue R1s bluejays or the red R1s cardinals right? I have a BLACK R1. You have a BLACK R1. Get it? Got it? GOOOOD!!!! :yesnod

At the risk of digging up something for more members to do when bored at work.......... Damn that show was cool. I was actually thinking of a different show with some dude who owned/lived in a bar or something and he rode what I think was a CBR. He went around fighting criminals also but I don't think he was a cop. Oh well anyway, yes the 80's were good, lol:rock
