Yea its out dude-THey got a silver one at Sunrise-Its pretty sweet-the reviews are out too-I just read the new motorcyclist today--R1 vs ZX10 vs GSXR1 vs CBR1. Very interesting article. I'll see if I can pull up the stats from the test online. The R1 did pretty good. They complained about the undertail exhaust roasting your junk idling around traffic. They also said the steering damper does'nt really do shit and you still get head shake. The R1 is HEAVIER in 04 too which I found hard to believe-but true. (Cast swingarm)

Wow, look at that Kawi walk! Right on! Bout damn time anyway. The Honda and Yami will still walk away with top honors though, since they will be better refined. I am sure that the Kawi is balls out and on the edge of control...like usual!

Yeah but Kawi's usually have the smoothest engines too, just suspesion compliance is usually not that great....I don't care about roasting my nuts, I WILL BE ON THE ONE!!! I am really thinking of getting one next winter....if anything I will do what I saw before on some Choppers show...put aluminum foil inder the seat! LoL

Hey and Alvin what about the more subjective stuff (braking feel, power delivery...etc) what did they about each bike? Somehow I have a feeling that like every other bike test...the Yamaha will deliver the most balanced feel of everything but I guess I will wait and see...BTW how is the new "job"?

Sup man-the jobs pimp-I never thought I would have TOO MUCH free time in the Navy. I start college this summer semester-just got the Tuition Assistance approved. Im going for an Associates in Electronics Engineering. Ill still be on the streets when I have time on one wheel. Be easy-L8r
