I would recommend it. Bit of a butt clencher when you first go out but I was really surprised how easy it is. Built my confidence big time! Plus you feel like a proper biker. Gets addictive though, I found myself intentionally going out in the rain. Am in Scotland by the way.
I had '05 XTR and had a TPS problem, now the year 2010, with this beautiful revolutionary R1, TPS problem again??! C'mon Yami, you could have made some improvement on fueling! I'm happy with my sublime Hornet '08. Nice review though. Thanks Adam!
what about the MPG's!!! obviously we dont care too much, but from what i understand it gets 6 less miles per gallon than the other 1000's. - and to any motorcyclist that matters! -if im wrong please correct me. i would love to hear that its still a 40mpg bike
someone (journalist) PLEASE comment on the new R1's fuel milage. i know motorcycles are about speed and fun, but the mpg's have always been a bonus and from what i hear the R1 gets a pathetic 29mpg
? does that give it an excuse to get almost 10mpg less than a gixxer thou, cbr 1000rr, or zx-10. - the point is, nobody is touching on this issue, and if you do a google search you'll already find a ton of forums with people asking why there only getting 100miles per tank
Finally a review that pretty much covers everything, by a real rider not worried about getting wet and dirty, bravo!
R1 is the king!
The bikes just sounds....AWESOME. Cross-plane-Crankshaft is a brilliant idea for a bike.
Would have been nice to have seen more of the bike
can anyone tell me why is red light flickering in instrument cluster,sorry i don't own superbike till now...i hope i''ll get in future........

Hard to unleash the power on the wet stuff with cold tires. I have an 04 with 23,000 miles. I thought I rode a lot. anyways great vid. Thanks MCN.

it gets about 30mpg but its capibile of 38+. if your worried about gas milage buy a 600.
must credit that to the big bang engine
It's a 4L but sounds like a V engine :)) I like it
shakes head and laughs at some of the moronic comments
@alex0695 or get a CBF125, that'll do 120+mpg
@suprmoto ,,thanks man......
@sik1blud This bike sounds amazing with two brothers!
wow its nice to see a bit of 2 wheeled hooliganism from you guys
tht exhaust makes it sound like a frekin...vtwin.. almost like the sv650
front headlights look much better dirty
I heard it has the worse seat comfort?
that review was absolutely worthless
haha wooow nice wheelspin ;) nice bike
geez that bike is dirty!
Seems like the bike has trouble keeping it's rear wheel behind it's front wheel. Junk! ;-)
@julingy with a sound like that, who cares
hit the wet white line
@select899 lol
My Yoshi RS3 can sounds nicer .. :/
Hate the sound hate the bike! 1998 through 2005 are the best models
Now everybody love it!
