Cool! There's even a b!tch seat. I wanna ride!! Oh, and just to clarify, if you didn't ride much before, here's an FYI. NEVER, I repeat NEVER let a guy friend ride b!tch with you, well, unless you swing that way, but it's never ok for straight guys. Besides, all the guys I know who ride like to feel the b@@bs pressed against their backs and the girls arms around them and the girls hands can be placed on or near the..............sigh, I digress. I really miss my ex and his bike........

Pimpin.. It was about $9K after all was said and done.. Just remember what I told you start small and work your way up. Youll own one of these some day.

BlackWolf... Its got a seat cowl for riding solo too. My wife made sure it had a real seat before I bought it. I will never let any of my guy friends ride b!tch.. Unless maybe there is an emergancy for some stupid reason, and it better be a damn good one.. So far.. It hasnt happened.

HondaMan, Yup its the same color.

Cash, no wheelies for me. Im happy to get from point A to point B on two wheels.

I was looking at one of those at the dealer. The gold trim has got to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen but other than that it is pretty cool. . But you better bring something better than that to race wars.

I took it up to 120, that was plenty fast enough for me. With no wind protection it felt like it was going to suck you off the back of the bike. They say you can do 160+ on it, I doubt Ill ever see it. Id rather do 60 in the twisties, then 160.

The gold pipes are heat treated Stainless. You can take blue remover and turn them silver again, or just buy a new exhaust.

I thought about getting an R6, but Im so glad I didnt. I love they way they look, but they just arent practical on the street. The Z is more comfortable, and tuned for more low and midrange power. Which means you dont have to Rev it to the moon to have some power. The R1 is just a wicked crazy bike, especially the '04. I definately dont need a bike like that... For anything! I love them, but there is a point where you can have to much.
