Hi Folks,
after a fair amount of research, what I am looking at are 3 choices more or less in this order.
2004 CBR 1000,
2005 GSXR 1000 or
2004 R1.
The reason the 05 Gix is not top of the list is that it commands a premium price which is quite a bit more, because everyone wants one (harder to get at a good price) and the CBR comes over as better value if slightly less impressive by performance (fewer horses etc). However, for my intentions and use, the CBR will already exceed my abilities, as would the R1, which I actually prefer visually( inlava red!) over the others. The R1 is slightly taller at the seat and the crouch is possibly the most severe. In anycase I'll need bar risers for all three because I think comfort is now as important to me as anything else. Maybe Heli bars will do the trick, as they did with my Busa.
Anyone with any experience/advice with these models?
According to what I understand, the CBR is most benign, the Gsxr most powerful and the R1 most demanding to ride.
