2002 injected R1, any good?

[ihatesissycars]

Hey all,

Is the first of the injected r1's a good ride?

Any views or experiances on ownership you could share?

I feel another bike is on the cards and I've noticed how cheap these are coming up so I'm like, whats the catch!

Ta!

No catch, they're bloody awesome. Good brakes, nice handling, good torque, reliable, good on the track, fantastic for wheelies.

Most prefer the looks of the 04- onwards models, so that's why the 02-03 models are so cheap. I liked the RN09 better, so like you (edit) noticed, the prices are low, so I got a great deal.

Ive got one, in silver. Its awesome. Absolutely adore it, best bike ive ridden. Slightly concerned about this depreciation issue you've menioned though!! Paid just over £4k for mine last Feb with 11k miles on it, full Akra Ti/Carbon system, braided lines, d/b screen and private R1 plate. Its now got 17k on the clock and an Ohlins damper.

Buy one ;-)

I bought a '02 model last year. Fantastic bike, not quite as brutal power delivery as the older carb models. Best bike I've owned thus far. Hope the prices haven't fallen too much!
