Shorter valve guides and other revisions increase intake flow and reduce friction, for more power Gold-colored forks look great. Revised clutch boss provides increased oil flow forexcellent durability.

Engine: Short-stroke cc DOHC, valve, liquid-cooled inlinefour-cylinder engine Dual-valve fuel injection system uses motor-driven secondarythrottle valves and bit ECU for super-responsive,instantaneous power delivery Two-piece ergonomically designed fuel tank carries fuel in the rear section, for good centralization of mass, while the front half contains a Ram-Air-fed airbox for increased power.

Lay-down design cylinder head 40 degrees forward optimizes weight distribution, straightens intake tractsfor improved cylinder filling, and allows frame to pass overinstead of around the engine for great strength and anarrow chassis.

Closed-deck cylinder block increases strength and allows anarrow engine in spite of big, 77mm bores. Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient Big valves and high-lift cams flow plenty of air.

Build quality is excellent and the feel good factor it gives me every time i ride has been worth every penny, with more than enough performance for any average road rider and after all looking good is part of riding this type of hypersports bike and this R1 has got what it takes!

The R1 has to be the best litre bike you can buy for the road. Having access to fireblades, gixers and a ZX10, the R1 simply blows me away with its ability. The riding position is superb. If you found a blade uncomfortable, then try one of these. Its also the best looking superbike out there. The downside is that the clutch plates fused together and needed soaking over night, and the bike plays up in hot weather especially around town. The gear change can be a little clunky at times also.

People have moaned about the lack of torque with this incarnation of the R1, I found it helps when putting the power down out of corners. Strengths: Looks, handling, riding position, comfort. Build quality. Parts available. Weaknesses: Tyre wear, gear selection, bikes popularity.

Traded in by blade for the R1 - The R1 is better built in terms of quality and feels better to ride. Only issue I have has is with vibration early on and this went after about 1, miles. Better than the blade around town, but not as good on the track for me anyway - less stability at the front.

Strengths: Looks, build quality and it's high rev grin factor. Weaknesses: Still vibrates more than a honda between 3 and 5 K.

Having just moved from an Aprilia RSV Mille I have to say that the one thing that I notice most is the real lack of performance at lower revs. The Mille would just leave it standing. Strengths: Looks, sound of exhaust, weight, higher rev performance. Weaknesses: Really weak performance at lower revs, poorly positioned foot pegs, they are exactly in the path of where my legs want to be when stationary on the bike.

Non adjustable clutch lever. Clunky gear box. I had reservations about taking on BHP, I needn't have as unless you are a freakin nut case it is a pretty docile bike. Set the rev warning light to 6k revs and change up when you see it. Even limiting the revs to 6k this bike is awesome, the low down grunt is exceptional and for most riding you can keep it in 6th, it really is that good.

The "turn in" is true sports bike, a gentle nudge and it simply goes where you point it. The instruments are clear and concise and the switches intuitive and easy to use with a firm feel. I traded up from a CBR and for the first mile of riding I couldn't stop thinking what have I done!

The riding position can only be described as "tough", tough on the neck, the wrists and the back. It's only above 50 mph that the airflow lifts your body up in to a comfortable position and takes some of the strain away. With a seat height of mm it's probably the highest seat on a sportsbike today.

I fitted an Alpha Technik link arm that lowers it by 30mm. Strengths: Torque, lots of it and it's also a beautiful piece of engineering. Weaknesses: It may be the most comfortable superbike bit that doesn't say much, try before you buy. This is simply the coolest bike on the planet!!

Precision engineering like a swiss watch forget your dukes etc , with gorgeous looks and sound have you seen that ugly gixer end can? Pure music from the induction roar first time on an R1 will keep you grinning.

Gearbox is also so slick, clutchless changes smoother than with clutch. If you haven't tried one yet - you must, and you will be sold, if not then it's time to hang up the leathers and get a new pipe and slippers. I had listened to the rave reviews about Ducati and went for it. The bike looked fantastic body off Baywatch but; rideability and reliability face of Crimwatch. I rode the new R1 50 yds and wondered 'what have I been doing' Strengths: The immense power delivery is remarkable, progressively smooth.

Light to handle with possitive road connection, good brakes!! Super low mileage, only Michelin Pilot pro tires, kept entirely stock to maintain limited edition value. Brand new injectors, and Ecp. Guaranteed to turn heads, a one of a kind machine, endless power, and smooth riding. If you are looking to ride, here's your shot.
