I just picked up a new 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 this past Saturday. It's still all stock and definitely a lot faster than I ever care to go on a bike. The low and mid end torque on this thing is flippin' wicked! Needless to say it's an absolute blast to ride :) I look forward to seeing how haemphyst graphically accessorizes it ;)

Now why would Haem do anything like that? Oh wait now I remember why he would do that.

I had no idea you rode. I am e-mailing you some info.

Hey just remember, no matter how controlled the wheelie looks, they still call it reckless operation. I never understood that one.

I went riding with a life long friend Saturday that does wheelies at 70 - 80 mph and stand up wheelies at 110. This is him on his CBR 1000.

He looks totally in control there, but for some reason the Troopers do not see it that way.

No doubt. It's not my thing and I don't encourage him. Here's another photo of him from a couple weekends ago on the same bike (red, middle)... this I get into.
