Sweet looking R1!

How is the riding position? I don't think my old frame could hunker over for any extended duration.

I really like it, I had the bars 1" lower than stock on the FZ and it just wasn't enough. The wind on my chest at cruising speed actually keeps the weight off my wrists pretty well. I'm 43 years old and it doesn't bother me. Of course my longest ride so far has only been 150ish miles.

I wish i had chosen a different profession as a young man over 20 years of turning wrenches have left me with wrists that pump my forearms to the point of
muscle cramps in about 5 miles on a sport bike..... I'm jealous!! Nice Bike!! :rockon: :rockon:
