Picked this up about 2 weeks ago. I missed riding a lot and with the nice weather coming in, it seemed like a fitting time to get back into it. I completed the Basic Riders school at Harley-Davidson this week. After taking that class I feel like a much better rider. They should make every motorcyclist take it.
But, it has still been almost 2 years since I've been on a sportbike. This being a liter bike too, I am still a little n00bish. It will take me a little while to get back into the full swing of things.
It's a '98 R1. So far I have discovered it has, aside from gold anodized parts and other cosmetic stuff:
Full Yoshimura exhaust
Brembo Brakes
Inverted front forks
K&N Filter
The guy I got it from also said it has a '01 R1 motor in it, but I cant verify that. Its pretty goddamn fast though. I got on full blast for the first time last night and it screams.
