I still miss my blue '04, even though it had nowhere near the sheer grunt of my K6 G1K (which I still own BTW). But it was, and still is to me the BEST looking production literbike out of Japan, hands down. Sexy curves, underseat pipes (higher CG I know, but...*shrug*), and FOUR headlights! Loved almost hearing cagers' retinas sizzle when I hit the high beam switch lol. If I could afford a small fleet of bikes, a clean minter 2004-06 (with an '07-'08 engine transplant for a wee bit more midrange) would be right in there.

@jaymed52286 жыл бұрын
Chocolate Tampon oh yes its alot!! faster trust me it is! But the R1 its more aggressive when it comes to the looks and the RPM’S its my favorite part the engine sound its so freaking beautiful. Im not going to lie to you i love the Busa because of its power and it also good looking. I upgraded to the Busa for one reason only and its because its a more comfortable bike for two riders cuz my girl love riding with me and ting is that we both tall and we didn’t fit well on the R1 but if I would have been single i would had still have the R1 💪
@chocolatetampon44926 жыл бұрын
jonathan medina nice man I've always wanted to try a busa, I have the 05 rn12 r1 and love it as well and I believe I can keep up with a busa I have a nice tune with micron full exhaust and power commander 3. Stupid fast and I actually think the r1 is really comfortable lol
@jaymed52286 жыл бұрын
Chocolate Tampon im 6’ tall and for my self the R1 was perfect. Yeah men from what i’ve read you got some good mods done to your bike you can be a competition for a busa for the first 4 gears but from 4th gear forward grab yourself tightly cuz the busa its gone to bypass you like a lightning strike there are ment for high speeds but it’s very rare for people to be racing so high on speed so you have enough to have fun. For my taste. I say the R1 is and its gone to be my favorite bike probably ill get me on other one but the 09 i love that one so badand the engine sound melts me. Definitely the bike its from on other world 😍
@chocolatetampon44926 жыл бұрын
jonathan medina that makes sense to me, I definitely think a busa would have me after 4th and 5th for sure, but I can't wait till I race one. I haven't lost to anything as of yet. And man I actually don't like the cross plane sound personally, sounds just odd to be me but I'd definitely need to ride a 09+ r1 and hope you get one soon my friend
