  • @sik1blud This bike sounds amazing with two brothers!

  • all you guys are morons hes reviewing this bike for a LONGTERM REAL LIFE representation of owning one, letting it get a little dirty, commuting (REASON HES COMPARING MPG DUMBASSES)- all the in depth stuff NOT covered generically like getting it dynoed or who its faster than on a track- something a person would do, if its owned. BTW its NOT a RACE BIKE, i see lights, ECM restrictions, EPA restrictions, a push button starter, and a license plate. RETARDS!!!!!

  • 2009 is long term????? Bloody hell... my 98 bike must be vintage!!!

  • @select899 lol

  • @Naturepheonix with such a hard suspension, and that much power, comfort doesn't really play a part lol

  • I heard it has the worse seat comfort?

  • Killer bike, and thanks for he great overall review...Told me all I need to know...GET A NEW R1!

  • Finally a review that pretty much covers everything, by a real rider not worried about getting wet and dirty, bravo!

  • Let the drifting do the talking!!!!!!!Awesome.

  • Yawn, buy a BMW for your luggage you plum
