    Only plans are to clean the carbs, change the oil, and change the clutch springs - these race springs are too much on the street.

    I hear that. We have a 99 R1 at the shop with a nice race clutch setup, it's a little overkill.

    I love how R1s look but the newer ones are so uncomfortable. I test sat on one and just about slid into the gas tank which came to a rounded off point. Maybe an older one would change my mind.

    My 04 is by far the most comfortable bike I've ridden. Then again everyone has their own idea of whats comfortable.

    I think the one that I tested out was newer than 07. Just didn't feel right. The GSXR was worse though with a seat too wide for me.
