Advantages: Blow away all comers

Disadvantages: Too tempting to get booked

The R1 is the most exciting bike i've ever riden. Acceleration, power and handling are superb!!! although the seat is quite low, the riding position is uncomfortable and angled down over long journeys. This bike is not really passenger friendly, and eats up the rear tyres in approximately 2000 miles... if you're lucky.The new R1 has a new designed wind-shield which protects you a lot better than the earlier one, allowing you to be more comfortable at a 180mph+.

Boys and their toys!!
Although I do admit this a fab bike. A friend recently had to sell his R1 due to the uncomfortable riding position. A shame because it does look good!!
