Both the bikes pictured look ace. I've got an 02 R1, rediculously fast, will update to a newer one at some stage.

It's a drug, eh?
Right, black rearsets, dump the rear pegs and get a cowl, praps a carbon Termi system, smoked screen, pazzo levers, quick shifter, power commander, carbon hugger (front and rear) and then, when all of the aforementioned have been applied..... get yourself a furry wristband for the brkae fluid resevior....BINGO!

still a great bike m8 , when i had my '99 a lad i used to ride with , had an '02 in red and white and it was gorgeous

Great looking bike. I think that R1 is the best looking of the sports thou's and that is the best colour.

There must be something in the water with all these new R1s appearing.
