Welcome and enjoy the bike, I’ve been thinking about getting one of the new R1’s for some time now, it's an amazing machine but my 2000 has been so good to me for the last 5 years I don’t think I could see it go. :D

Some say "better the devil you know"!

All i can say is this bike is so awsome i cant belive how good it is compared with my gsxr 600 thats for sale on ebay i know thats only a 600 but the power delivery on this r1 is out of this world , i cant comment on what any other r1 is like to ride as this is the first one i have rode and owned . Its also so easy to ride at leagal speeds , (just a it boring) Its funny ive owned an r6 5eb model and 4 gsxr 600s and i allways thought id never need any more power than one of them untill that is i got this i couldnt ever go back to a 600 again but saying that if i dont get what i want for my zk3 gsxr alstare i will sell the complete body work and stick race farings on and do trackdays on it . Im not brave enough to take this r1 on the track,.Ps the bike is nearly due for its first service i just cant stay off of it so been clocking up the miles

Hi Simon small world eh!

as for not wanting to go for the thou probally a wise choice being the first biggie youv'e owned , thats what every one told me and i belived it so much i didnt bother for years (4 gsxr 600s and an 02 model r6 )quote"(you dont need any more power than the 600)

but now i can say its only as fast as you make it and it can be as docile as a 400 if you want , (trouble is you soon forget that what you want isnt what you need) well happy safe riding on your r6 , and thanks for the welcome
