nice comment my misses wants the R1 but i am still in 2 worlds on what suits me

she won't want you to get one after she sits on the rock hard seat. None of the latest thou's are built for passenger comfort thats for sure.

she likes the high up seat so she can look over the rider and holds the tank so i get no force on me but the seat well dont no about that

2004 R1's pillion seat is really nice, and the pillion pegs aren't as high as the CBR1000RR's. The CBR1000RR's is a plank. The GSXR1000K5/6 is nice too.

But an STX1300 or FJR1300 is better if pillion riding is one of you main criteria.

I love mine can't keep of it, don't realy feel I need to trade it on a zx10 or 05/06 gixxer no doubt they are both awesome machines.my advise is to take them all for a ride
Pick the one that gives you the biggest buzz- then consider how long that buzz will last on long trips,tours etc, as I said earlier I can't keep of mine.

Cheers Darrell.

Wouldnt mind an SE model in the yellow/black paint job - saw a couple in Perth and they looked seeeexy! For the road - they're all of a muchness - pays yer money and take yer choice. The bikes are better than most riders around, anyway........
