I'm 17 and got an R1 a couple week sago and my insurance with state farm is 2500 a year.

yea i bought the bike used (800 miles) and it came with those. but i wasn't sure if thats what the were. well i aprreciate all you guys help and concern. and btw. you guys know of good place to get xenon headlights

i have jacket kevlar jeans gloves and boots. frame sliders?

yea the most i've throttle i've given my bike in low rpms is 4th gear around 3 quarters throttle at only like 6,000. but i was really close to gettin the gixxer 600. would that be a btter choice? and does the torque affect cornering even in low rpms?

well thats why im asking. i realize that but pretend the 600 isn't an option. what would your advice be considering the circumstances? and if they are colse to identical till 100 why is it that big a deal?

sorry i've made alot of new posts lately. beginner rider and trying to learn. but how much throttle around what rpms can i take my bike (07 R1) before i gotta worry about my front tire coming of the ground? (not ready for wheelies yet).

im not talking about high speeds. im talking like 45 and 50's in 30's

i think there is a no chase policy where i live but you have to be going 130. coz ive passed a few cops doing nearly 160 in my vette and they just sit. i figured they wouldn't care to try and getcha but i aprriciate the insite radar detector is prolly a bad idea i guess?

do they make radars for bikes? if not, are police more or less likely to pull over a bike for speeding?

I just bought an 07 R1. what are the best xenon headlights?

i had a dirtbiike. abd still have a smaller 110 (hard to fit on ) but other than the rider course and that i have none. So do these bikes not do high speeds well? I will probably like to corner but theres not many places i can do that kinda riding cept near the highway at night. as far as top speed which 600 or 650cc is fastest?

you guys have really given insite. i apreciate it. final question are which more comfortable for everyday use. it seems like the r6 is the better option although i really like the hang on top speed. (nearly once a day im past 160 in the vette). but is the r6 that much slower that if i intake and exhaust it that being a first timer ill notice? btw. better to buy of cycle trader or from a yamaha dealership?

Sorry,lots of questions. Hey my name is justin. I've been working hard and earning money and im about to buy my first bike. And of course like any other sane person in the world i immediatly want the coolest bike on the market. yamaha R1. But, i have heard its a hell of alot of power especialy for first timers. i have plenty of self control. first car was a 415 hp 69 camaro. had it for 6 months no tickets or wrecks. and now i drive an 04 z06 1 ticket still safe (had that for a year). now my controversy is bewteen the r1 and r6. is the power of the r1 so much thats its not the self control but just generaly difficult to control? i've had some people tell me to get the r6 first until i learn to respect the bike. but financialy that will be difficult. not like as soon as i finish i can just buy an r1. and is it possible with mods to make the r6 faster as i learn? any input will help.
