I've had my bike for almost two years and have rode it 1 and a half riding seasons. I put 5k on it last year and am set to put way more than that thus season. I ride it everywhere. I am planning on buying a house after the 1st of the year and was considering buying a newer bike before that time frame. I found a very good deal on an 07 R1 w/ 3,9xx mi http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/101916-fs-2007-yamaha-r1/ Being that said I'm aware my current bike is more of a "sport touring" and the R1 is more of a well...blazing rocket. I'm not really wanting to haul some serious ass, but at the same time I want a fast, dependable bike. Also the next bike I buy I will have it till the wheels fall off & I want it to be a nice one. What are everybody's thoughts????
