I was eying on the new BMW HP2 Sportbike. But I think it might be out of my price range.

Hey Poorwboy!
Heard from Dennis that you have an R1. Sweet ride. As for next year, I'm not sure whether to go R1 or Suzuki B-King (pipe dream right now, need money first).
I have always loved the R1 but the B-King really reminds me of an updated version of the Suzuki GS-1150E I had back in '85.
I've never been a big 'Busa fan but I really like what Suzuki has done to make the B-King bike more of a "standard" style. Really don't like the the name B-King though; I can hear the "Burger King" comments already. I think GS 1340E would've been better, but that's probably just my nostalgia chiming in.
As for the R1, I am amazed at how comfortable it is to sit on; I haven't ridden one yet. Much less pressure on the wrists and back than the R6 (which I have ridden) or the CBRs.
I guess I'll let the reviewers write what they write when the bikes are reviewed and start to form an opinion from there. Regardless, the technology that has been built into the R1 is amazing; unimagineable back in the
mid-80's when I thought an overdrive indicator light was "the heat", or did we say "rad" back then?.

I didnt know they made a hp2 sportbike. I know about the hp2 enduro.
Hi bo glad you made it here. Yes I do have a r1, its a 98 and has way to much power for what I do. I have been actually thinking about going to 600cc bike. I cant imagine what the new liter bikes are like. As far as i'm concerned the liter bikes make way to much power for any rider. I have been in corners and had the back wheel spin, cross the yellow lines in the road under acceleration and it spins. Now this is a 98 which makes about 130 at the wheel, the new ones make 150-160 at the wheel (holy hell). Theres actually a article on the net that talks about liter bikes making guys slower on the track because they can't and are afraid to use the power. I have'nt heard of the b king, aka (burger king) LOL JK. Post some info up on it.Hey Poorwboy!

Lucky!!!!! I'm jealous. I bought an '07 :-( I guess my shirt idea is out. It was gonna say, " No, it's not an '87, it's an '07"

She doesn't like or want the '07?I took her in to look at the 07's and the dang dealer showed her a picture of the 08, now I gotta fork over that much more
Yes I do agree the nose fairing sticks out way to far on the buell. But it is a awesome bike.
That fz1 would be a nice bike, But that r1 is sexy.I know these are not 08's, I couldn't find any good pics so 07's will have to do.
#1 choice
