LOL. I owned my ZX7R for two years, but TLR really was an evil handling piece of crap! I've wanted an R1 since they released it in '98 - I was a 19yo college student at the time and my friends and I would gaze at them in awe, saying 'one day.... one day, ill own one of those'. Well that one day was Saturday, and I couldn't be happier! This one's a keeper.
