ipad mounted to the dash!?!? wouldn't that block her vision more and be worse? Plus she could have been touching the screen to wake it up or to see the next turn / exit or reroute around traffic? there are two sides to this story, we are only getting one.

Has anyone thought that just MAYBE she was using her tablet as a gps unit for directions? My iPad has cellular network and if im driving in an area I do not know, its a lot easier and SAFER to see directions on a tablet than a small phone. Even in slow motion, you can barely see what the...

Here is a ride me and some friends did up around Mt Rainier, WA. 3 different go pro angles. The front and rear of my R1 and front of my friends V-Strom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMWV3TZteos

what was the traction control setting on? with mine all the way up, the front will think about lifting and then traction control kicks in. The TC is so smooth on the R1 that unless you see the light kick on, you wont even notice it backing off the power, it just feels like it doesn't have the...

Once I can justify dropping nearly a grand for an exhaust, I will definitely get the bike flashed. I hear so much love about how it acts once flashed. but damn are exhausts expensive for the R1

Im curious as to what year crossplane you rode? Did it have traction control and what mode was the throttle in? the front on the R1 will easily get up with traction control down low SOOOO much easier than a fz1. Throttle is touchy if you don't know how to control it or its in A mode...

Yes The only reason I could see it not a commuter bike is the riding position, as for some is uncomfortable. I LOVE IT! Rode 400 miles sunday up and around Mt Rainer. While 400 miles isn't much for mileage, it was along time in the saddle as we left at 8AM and returned at 5PM, with maybe a...

so where is the review, the pro cons vs the fz1. ive ridden a fjr and fell in love with it. it will be my next bike. I love my R1 and I have no issue touring on it, but cant do 2 up for distance and wife loves going on rides.

?!?!?!? Why boo?

RIGHT!!! I absolutely love the roar of my xplane r1. exhaust is still stock as dropping damn near a grand to do the exhaust is a lot right now, but its tempting when you hear how nice it sounds. has a great low rumble / growl, but when you get on it that exhaust roars!

ya just stupid. First time I did second gear and ripped throttle to almost wide open at 6k I took it to 12k and it was stupid fast. took my breath away I was not ready for that. since then ive gotten used to the bike and done a few more. really though, all these bikes seem so gentle and...

yep they really start to move above 7k if you think the FZ1 is crazy, you should try a R6 or R1. Those are really to different bikes between low and higher rpm

I park in spots like that all the time. It has lines because of the idiots that try to fit a damn car there, the bike is clear of any car and not in the way, whats the issue better than taking up a whole parking spot

^^ X2 just have receipts for any parts purchased, and documentation of when you changed oil, adjusted chain, checked cables, ect.... and you are good. The warranty does no state you must have it serviced by them for it to be valid. I have full documentation on everything on my R1 and from...

^^ Agreed!! That's ridiculous. For the R1's 600 mile break in that I just recently hit, my dealer wanted about $250 for break in checkup / oil change. I passed, and just did the stuff myself. The owners manual will tell you everything you should check, and the oil change is super easy on the...
