My New Bike

ya man nice bike, let's hope you don't die, just lost a co-worker due to these things. Wear that lid everywhere lol.
 
Nice bike, man work on your calves Holmes you gots bird legs son (spin)
You want your legs looking real nice when they get ripped off your body at 200MPH (laugh) (chair) (laugh)
 
first gear takes you to 104mph
Seriously? That's one tall first gear. Might as well make it taller so you don't have to shift doing the quarter mile. :D

Nice bike though. Love the look of the thing, but can't decide on the exhaust, like the concept, but don't necessarily like the execution of it. I guess I'm still a Kawi fan, but that bike (and the R1) are beautiful.

Pimp bike. One of my friends just bought a 02 double R, after someone knocked his R1 over and cought it on fire. (notcool)
 
R1's aren't that fast man..its just a 900cc in a 600 frame..they are quick..but they aren't like amazingly fast...i swamp that bike, i can barely fit on it..the gixxer still pwns you.
 
Got this bike for $300.00 over cost. They would not deal on the Gixxer. Plus, who's racing. 30 min country rides from time to time, this is just another toy. Who has ever seen a 240+ lb black man on a sport bike at the track anyway?
 
Sweet ass Bike man. I want turbo so I'm selling my bike (or tryin to).

Uhh, you might be thinknig of the older R1. The new R1 is about the most bad ass bike made today. (Sportbike, 1000cc)

It's 998cc, not 900. Has 180hp at the crank. Weighs 379lbs dry.

My friend has a new R1 and he races it frequently. So far he hasn't been beat. Sorry to break it to ya, but it is amazingly fast. He had an R6 last year and says it doesn't compare. The R1 can pull wheelies in any gear, at any time with a blip of the throttle. Not even a clutch pop is needed. Go look at the new ones, then get back to me.
 
That's an AWESOME bike man, congrats.

I just picked up my first bike in Feb. It's an '01 Suzuki SV650.

He's right there, Spicy...new R1's are nothing short of badass.

do a search on reviews for the bike. That statement is entirely accurate. I'll see if I can find a link.
 
damn, why would they make first gear so tall...maybe to keep the kiddies from flipping the bike when they pop the clutch in first (lol2)

180hp throught a tiny tire in the back...probably to make it more driveable off the line or else the nose would always be in the air. Nothing a sproket can't fix.
