yea, Conner. Just get the big bike now

 

In time. Prob start of next season. Doesn't make sense to me to trade in a bike I just made the 2nd payment on.

 

This is my plan!

 

So this dealer put the track pack on this bike for me. Where the other dealer that screwed me said they couldn't do it till after 600mi.

 

I am assuming they didn't want you risking initial break in.

 

I want the T700 World Raid if it makes it to America.

 

Any advice on buying an R1 used?

I'm contemplating adding one to the stable, or upgrading and trading my XSR in in the near future. I do a lot of highway commuting and the 700, while enough, leaves something to be desired. and that something is an even bigger shit-eating grin

 

Best advice on buying an R1 is always to add 5

 

elaborate? lol

does that mean an R6?

 

Same, the stock T7 is a little lacking.

 

Since you're doing highway rides and maybe long commute, look at BMW s1000rr. They come with cruise control and plenty of horse power. Nothing wrong with the R1 but some folks doesn't like the aggressive ergonomic of it.

 

They are fun racebike/trackbikes but not meant for putting around town. The engine prefers free flowing air and if not then you'll have yourself a toaster between your legs.

 

They wouldn't have to worry about that with me. I need to get use to riding a whole new machine. Completely different than my 1000rr. If I want to go beat on something it would be that bike.

 

And the bike is home. Brother inlaw helped me unload glad I stopped by there first.

 

So out with the old in with the new. As yall can tell the cbr needs some work. And new plastics.

 

Awesome bike

 

Just had to jump start the cbr but she still running strong can't kill a honda.

 

We all get older and need some work.

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

Hm noted I'll definitely take a look into those too, just figured they would be more expensive, more frequent/expensive service, and possibly less reliable.

@BuzzardsGottaEat I was considering R6, but considering they no longer make them for street after 2020, and the used market resale price is very similar to R1, i figured R1 would be the way to go. Also no plans to track at the moment, which is where the R6 shines from what I understand.
