Thanks for the nice write up
. That must have been an amazing experience.Some of the first questions that come to mind are: 1. How is the low end torque on the 09 R1 (2K to 7K rpm)? 2. Remaining at 454 lbs wet weight, how would you compare it with the ride feel of the 08 CBR and the 08 R1, especially when flicking corners? 3. About the smoothening of the torque ... I guess riding it is the only way to really understand the difference, but still ( ) could you please try to throw more light on that.4. These are costly toys and "looks do matter" (atleast to me; however shallow that sounds) so how does the 09 R1 really look, in person. The cans can always be replaced, but the front looks dissappointing in the pics. Some may have grown to like it, but I believe in love at first sight, like I did with my wife .There seem to be some aspects that bring a negative hint to your final conclusions on the bike. Eagerly waiting for your post with more info in that regard (especially since, after waiting for the 09 R1 for 2 years, I was dissappointed enough to jump the gun and get an 08 R1). |
