I'm thinking about getting this or the 1000rr early next year. Since I ride street every week, I'm mostly looking to ride street, though I'll do 5-7 trackdays. I'm concerned about the suspension quality and the weight. I've already sat on the bike and it fits me the best of all the Japanese supersports. Shit, even some dude on the moutain on Sunday was offering to let me ride his 09, but I declined. Have this thing about riding others bikes that I don't know.
Post up a writeup if you rode one. thx 101

I did a while ago- it's around here somewhere... ah well. The guy that rode it before me thought it was horrible- ignition cutting out and whatever else. I think he just had it on C "lame" mode. Put it in A, and the difference from the '08 was that it felt slightly more like a V-twin. And has an insane amount of heat directed at your right thigh. PAINFUL! I liked the 08 better- it's easy to ride until 7k or so, then it's "warp speed." Plus, any other year looks MUCH better.

The new R1 isn't exactly very "pretty" either. Matter of fact it is downright fugly with the headlights and fat ass.

Somewhat agreed.......However don't they still make that special tape you can put over the headlights, to make the lens look black even though it doesn't interfere with the light output?
