I waited 5 years and 3 bikes before I just bought the 08 1000RR.

Just figured it was the right time and I got a good deal on it. But honestly I coulda stayed and road my F4i forever and been happy.. although the ne 1krr is awesome

I started out on an R1... it just all comes down to throttle control...

 

So how's your cornering?

Tell me about those DIY Rearsets.

Ya, I had it for 8 years and am a senior member on their boards. I will have another, but needed to sell the one I had. Their isn't much, including a bike that will hang with it 0-60 on the streets(unless a guy can launch a bike on the streets), but after than it is a turd...100-105 trap speeds ish...I mean its quick and mid-low 13's in a truck is not to bad. In order to own one, you have to know what you are doing. After market sucks. It is rare and i'll own one again soon, but it was time for a new toy (the bike). I'v ridden in 11 sec syty's and the 600 would leave them in the dust from a roll. But if you can't get out of the hole quick, you'll be making up distance the entire quarter mile on them and likely won't catch them. Fun as hell to have a fast truck...something most people don't have. Only 2998 made...i had 1255 hence the screen name.

 

I have been riding for 4 years now. I went and looked at a RC51 a friend of mine is selling (for $7300 if anyone is interested) I am not ready for that thing it is a monster. I don't know if I will ever get a 1k. It really just comes down to ***** size the bigger the bike the smaller the *****

 

aint that different, just be smart

 

i bought my 1st bike april of '07, its a '01 F4i. i've since put on 22k miles. a friend of mine has a '07 R1 that he said he'd allow me to take for a ride. anxious to, but nervous aswell. very anxious to see what all the 1k fuss is about. worried too, that i may want one

 

Just think do you ride your 600 to 100% no i know i dont a 1k is just for show not to many people are still alive and ride thier 600 to the max but if you if you want the more torque go a head 1krr is such a clean bike i will eventually get onenot till my f4i is paid off though and i save ebough to buy it out right.
