Are you getting much more than what you pay for??? I have seen a R1 ( costing $12,000 new ) kill $30,000 bikes?? What do ya'll think?

 

R1 for $12000?! Wow...someone got bent over and got ripped a new one. The R1 is a great bang-for-the-buck bike, but it's definitely not for beginners (or at least those that get ham-fisted with the fun-stick).

In the end, it's not about what bike you're riding or how much you spent - it's all about the rider.

I personally like my 7k F4i... I could upgrade to a 1000rr or 954 but whats the point, I won't get the extra use of the power and handling where I ride, nor am I experienced enough. Ducatis and race bikes are great, but they're better for the track which I, and most people will rarely or never see

 

kill 30,000 bikes?? what are you talking about?? harleys?? of course a R1 is gonna rape a harley, its only like 300-400 pounds lighter and has more horespower??

 

IMO, I think the R! is one of the most under rated motorcycles out there. I don't know why alot of people are against them or don't even think about them as a choice. You always see in the magazines tests between GSX-R1000's, Honda's, and Ducati's. Where are the R1 comparison's? I really like Yamaha's. They are all around a well balanced motorcycle. Both the R6 and R1. Now I would have to agree that an R1 is definetly not a beginner's bike.
