Update to my review 15/10/08 - I did buy one a couple of weeks after that post and love it!

Highly recommend it, all round flawless and like so many others I prefer the styling to the new crossplane 09.

A few trackdays on it (Brands Hatch Indy and GP, Snetterton and Lydden) an absolute joy to ride, stupidly quick and nimble - love it!

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
None - although I would like a little more low down grunt but not an issue.
Spot on!

The best R1 since the 98 vesion

Fantastic looks and quality

Superbike performance

Surprising comfort
No many
A great bike that I toured France on and did it all well. You can ride all day and 50 litres of Kriga bags on the back turn it into a bit of a tourer !

Seat is all day comfy and size for me 6ft fits well

A great bike with some serious speed and hadnling and so much better than the later model

A real classic !

rock solid, and a pretty little thing

full system n pcIII 173bhp. helibars make it all day comfy. its good for lapping the iom at warp speed
steering damper feels budget, feel like i'm fighting it sometimes. need a quality replacement me thinks. standard susspension settings are a bit harsh, sorted by a trip to kais
its not a tiny bike, good for a bloke of my size (6' 15stone) it turns and stops well and isnt too bad on fuel. unless thrashed, 80 miles to a tank at the tt omg! first superbike ive had, love it!
