4 days with an 06 R1.

Well what can I say other than WOW!Could`nt believe how different it compares to my R1,the power delivery,the smoothness,the handling and the sheer sexyness of the bike.It just gives you that much confidence going into corners that you can take them at least 10mph quicker than before.The bike is so nimble and feels alot lighter that accelerating out of corners is mind blowing,you feel as if your part of the bike as you are futher forward over the dash than the older models giving in my experience, more control.Once the new BT015`s were scrubbed in,the R1 came alive.I decided to take the bike on a 2 mile stretch of motorway between 2 junctions and do a standing start from the slipway……F…inghell,182mph before I sat up and braked for the next junction,could`nt beleive the speed of the thing and how little time it took to cover 2 miles.I think I`ve got the bike for a bit longer and I`m just waiting for the rain to stop to have another play.[]
