Go buy yourself a Barrett .50 cal too, they will also make your cock HUGE. I know you are going to be way in over your head on an R1, and the practicality of it makes no sense for you IMHO "other than you think it is a good deal and you are probably getting made fun of from somebody because they say you ride a wimpy 650"? If you didnt think you were honestly making a possible mistake, then why the hell ask us what we think? There is a shitload of riders on this forum that can ride the wheels off a motorcycle, and many of those riders do not ride a bike with the HP and speed that an R1 has. You also don't venture out and ride the twisty roads here in Ohio and or venture to states like VA/WV/KY/TENN/NC......so why would you want a bike that does not like to go straight nor was it designed to go straight? Hey I am trying to be your logic and reasoning, and you sure as hell do not have the riding experience for anything over a 600 inline 4. Just my opinion of course, well actually this probably isn't just my opinion.
