The 09 R1 is an exceptional machine. The technology in this thing is amazing. With 3 driving modes that actually work, makes this bike ideal for track or roads. The seat is firm but comfortable for rides up to 100 miles. The balance and handling are exceptional. At 5'10" this bike fits me perfectly. Discipline is really needed with this bike. If you can't keep off the throttle don't get it. A couple of tickets will make buying insurance miserable. I have only one ticket, 50 years old and I still pay $147 a month. The 09R1 is absolutely the best sport bike you can get! However I would like a slightly larger gas tank. (The R1 has a 4.8 Gallon tank) If you can get this bike, you will not be dissapointed! I have no buyers remorse what so ever!
