Traded an '04 R1 today.

[theknightrider]

Fuckin mint! Gorgeous in red, just like Stone chuckers. Only done 3500km. We've got it on at $18995.

So, Trashy thinks, better ride this slippery little digger to see what the fuss is about.

Conclusion: Keep it. I'd rather have my Gixxer.

You loose, game over, thanks for playing.

Actually, you loose. An R1 would smoke your dumb Suzuki any day. The reason you hate it is coz you couldnt handal it.

[Uncle B]

Don't do it man, you already got a real bike between ya legs... and you've spent hours and hours on it! GXXR blah blah blah, horsepower blah blah blah ... you'll miss the twin. Fullstop.

I hear you....but sometimes you have to try new things and to settle the mind that you are on the right machine for the complete motorcycling experience.

[Uncle B]

Yup, no probs B. But it's my own baby so play nice!

Don't worry I'm not one of your underworld racey types....there's a time and place to hoon and I don't want us KBers to get a bad wrap.....and another "dropped my bike" thread is no way to end/start the year.

1. Pretty bikes are for people who like pretty things.
2. R1 smoke a Suzuki? Who f*ing cares, and, I know a certain someone on a 250 Jade who can "Smoke" me on my R1. TheKnightRider, I don't think your personality is compatible with the level of maturity this board maintains. See ya...
3. I don't want VTWIN to get a gsxr 1K, WHEN I do keep up with him, it's only because of my straight line speed! Please sign the attached petition to keep VTWIN AND Velox from getting faster bikes :P
4. WT, I'd like to come and te$t ride a bike or two $ometime $oon, hope that'$ ok.

[Sparky Bills]

SC..
How bout we swap bikes, so you can trade mine and I'll have another new bike??
WT..
You wouldnt know a fast bike if I rode past you in a shopping mall!
How much would you give me for a trade??
I say straight swap? (fair enough I rekon)

You'd have to wonder if R1's are that good why sell it when it is so new . May have riden a GSXR & realised what he was missing out on

[Hitcher]

For what it's worth, Kiwirider magazine (thanks Kerry very much) has the R1 as its sports bike of 2004. Highly commended to the ZX10R. No sign of the parts-bin special, oh sorry, the GSXR... (mind you, that yellow pearl is a nice colour).

[Blakamin]

I want the 916 or one of the buells to take for a spin... might have done it today if it wasnt PISSING down... (which was the reason i was there, before droppping karaoke at the gay bar and a jukebox on Pie-cock... it aint the same hill in a pink van!!!)
