Most of the time I just have to think to myself "meet me on the track and tell me you love me"haha. Its good to know that your just yanking on scotts chain for fun. Sorry for lashing out. I see that you have a R1. I must say great bike, a little heavy for me but still a sweet ride. I rode a 2007, what a blast!
Okay, scott I'm done highjacking your thread bud. Any questions give me a shout.
Sonofabish, always fun debating with you :-)
its cool - no worries.... i always enjoy an informed debate between folks that can be later ignored and not taken personally....

however, just as an FYI, if you have an opportunity, take a ride on a newer litre-bike... you might be pleasantly surprised.... if you look up the dry/wet weights, my bike is actually lighter than yours, and it has a good 50+ more hp than a '07 YFZ1000R (the R1 didn't come out until 1998 ;) )

like i said, i won't pick on anyone on two wheels, with exception of guys on Busa's... lol... the rural areas are different, but down here in the city, guys only buy Busa's to make them feel better about themselves - i can't tell you the number of 1000+ cc bikes that i see on the south side with 1-2"+ chicken strips... it really gets under my skin...
