I've had my license for 5 years and have been riding a bike since I was seven. My first street bike was a 2002 CBR600 and then to a 2009 R6. I currently have a DRZ 400sm and wanting to switch back to a sport bike. I want an R1, and I know its way more than anyone needs on the road. So should I just go back to the R6? Just trying to make a decision.

Thanks.

Try the Daytona 675 get some triple fun!!!!!!

If you can wait a little it's looking like Yamaha is coming out with a triple to compete with the 675. That said, check out the FZ-09 as well if you're up for a standard. Lighter, narrower, and more powerful than the FZ-8

She said she wants to switch back to a sport bike.

If you can handle it, the big bang motor R1 is pretty sweet.

Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to take the R1. I road a 2007, I can only imagine a 2013 will be really nice.

The crossplane R1 is outa sight, best of luck with it!!!!!

Keep in mind they did switch the motor to the big bang in 08, so it's a completely different beast than the 07.

Good point.

Glad you made the right decision!
