so i went new bike lookin....

Post by abs929cbrrr »

i had to pick up some shit from a dealer for my 929 and i decided to look really closly at every 09 they had. 1st off, the 09 R1 is even more uglier in person then on screen. its short as hell, colors rule in white and red like the 1st year R1, seat is soft as mushy as a fresh turd also. its super wide making my 929 feel like an fzr. my thoughts, its ugly, and they runied.

i honesty like the R6 better.

took as look at the cbrs...only had the 600rr in stock, guess 1000's are not selling as good or somthing. well the 600rr is skinny as hell, it reminds me of the fzr skinniness, color are alittle off the wall but it looks like a decent bike.

gsxr 600/750, eh i would rock one, like thme better then the R1.

all in all, bike are kinda getting fugly and really espensive.

ill keep my wheelie machine....peace!

The CBR1000 is the Motorcycle of the Year - they might have been sold out.

I'm with you on the R1s looking like poo, and the red/white color scheme looking awesome.

i thought the 09 r1 looked better in person...so it went from a 1...to a 4 in my book...the main thing I hate is the skinny tail and those ugly headlights...I would get it and to a fairings conversion...lol
the r6's are ok...the tail are still ugly...and its still only a 600...lol
I hate the cbrs skinnyness but they look so good.(just not in the cokpit)
the 600rr looks better than the 1000rr in the front...I would put the 600 plastics on the 1000
gsxr's....i just dont like them...comfert issues...
zx6r/zx10r are ugly...but if you get it in all black then it looks decient...I loved this monster energy drink themed zx10 they have at the dealer...so pretty...but all and all I think I liked the 1098R the best :)
