^^^ my buddy has one just like this even same color, man do these things want you to let the clutch out and give it gas! I would only drive in the neighborhood so I wouldn't go over 100 mph. Ride safe!

Congrats!!!!
I had a 02 R1 and IMHO they are simply the best bike on the road! Last day I had mine I hit 127 coming home form the fed center (3am) and hit that speed from Kipling to wads....the R1 is a beast!
I agree and thank you!! I have had 9 street bikes in the seven years that I have been riding and this is my second R1. I have tried a lot and the R1 is really tough to beat. IMHO, they have always been ahead of the game on looks and technology. The dual underseat exhaust just looks badass and the front end speaks for itself. The power this thing deliveries is amazing. It is well tuned down in B mode but crank it up to A mode and it runs like a cheetah on cocaine. My record ('04 R1) was 179mph on a closed course in Mexico. It still had more to give but I ran out of road. I'm not nearly that ambitious anymore to try that again but I have a feeling this bike will do that in a much faster time than it's previous generations.
This was the old girl here. Don't mind the racing slick on the back, I was young dumb and full of... I got tired of replacing tires because I think that year I picked up three good size nails all within a few months of each other.

Boss decide to hush an old LJ24 so he could use it again after the noise requirements went into effect this year. A couple of non-NFA cans and it's good to go.
