hahahahahahaOriginally Posted by WINJA
na i dont mind the thou...in fact i nearly bought one but the R1 looked better and had better brakes...actualy whats up with thou brakes? they work ok but not much feel...braided lines and some half decent pads i guess they would be ok.
Ya get a Silver one then every one know's it's a 1000 . Have riden a 01 R1 last year would say the 2000 carby model had better bottom end than the 01 .No other bike has Twin Butterflys in their throttle body's that I know of apart for the GSXR's this is why even thou they may not be the best flat out they are still the pick of all the mag's for it's Motor ! > me's weigh 105kg find set up on bike good for around 230/250 k then starts to need abit more input .Ps better brakes not the one's I'v riden . Over powerful brake's are not all ways a good thing from my veiw point

Sensei 509 - the 01 R1 is still carb'ed.
Was told it was an injected maybe it was 02 ?? . any ways the 2000 was very good low down but still found it hard to turn into down hill corner's . May have just needed a turn here or there .

While we're all off topic...
I have a question about R1 handling. A few months ago I was toying with the idea of getting a newer bike, so I had a play on a Tuono (not my thing), RSV (luverly- but with ‘racing’ pipes it seemed a bit frantic in terms of noise) and a 98 R1. Took the R1 down Ferry Road to head up Tunnel road, got to the Ferry/ Tunnel road roundabout and tipped it in, only to find the bloody thing really didn’t want to- it wanted to go straight and required a lot of pressure on the bars to make it go around. Is that normal behaviour for an R1 of that year? It had Metzellers of some sort on, which had quite a rounded profile. I suspect the tyres were to blame. And yes I was looking where I wanted to go…
