Just been and ridden one.

What a dissapointment.

The engine just hasn't got the same 'zing' as my '98 R1, and it's supposed to have more power!

The handling and brakes were pretty much the same as mine (awesome) except the pegs were higher.

I think i'll stick with what i've got!

Been there, done that.

I had one for 2 days.

I like the look of them

Obviously the exhaust and tail end would have to go

But they deck out real easy. Suspension would want tweaking. Very smooth with the fuel injection. I too felt a bit let down, expected more, considering I wanted one as soon as I saw it at the bike show.

How come you gave it back, that narrow, kept forgetting where you parked it.

I found it was like riding a moto crosser. My legs didn't reach the ground.
