[allblackkat]

All I can say is

Wow, this thing is a beast.

Wifes got the ZZR and a 500.

I've got the R1 and the Katana 600

Probably neeed to sell a bike or 2.

my next bike I want a yamaha.....I think i'll stick with a 6R though....Looks good though

[katana bob]

No need to sell anything unless you are not riding one.

No need to sell anything unless you are not riding one.

good point.


She uses the ZZR for everything, I use the 500 for work, I use the Kat for comfortable rides, and I will use the R1 for..... I dunno, flying I guess.

One thing though, my wrists are sore.
Other than that, I can't stop smiling.

R1 is sexy, I wanted a r6 as my first but never found one for the right price when I had cash.....oh well after the kat build is done I will start looking for a r1 or r6

[motojobbie979]

Yea Id have to agree that if i ever get rid of my 00 GS500E it would be for a R1

[zukibud600]

Nice looking bike!!!! Thats quite a stable of rides!!! If only I could be that lucky!!

[allblackkat]

So far I've put about 150 miles on the R1, and I found that the thing just WANTS to break the law.

I've never been given a speeding ticket in my life (knock on wood) but I think it'll be hard to avoid when you have to shift from 2nd to 6th just so you aren't going a hundred...

I know all about the "It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow approach" but this thing gives me the idea that if I ever try to actually bring this bike to its full potential I need to start racing professionally.

Even with the D & D exhaust it sounds like a full race bike.

[GixerKitty]

Nice...Very nice

[allblackkat]

Thanks for the nice compliments, lets just see if I can get to go to Deals next year with everyone.

Probably get passed by a pack of 250s though.

[wvurubberducky600]

Nice bike....i'd love to ahve one, i couldnt even begin to imagination the power/weight ratio and handling capabilities.


I've seen some insane guys on 250's stay with or ahead of the local 600/ liter bikes
