i'm not really into air brushed bikes at all, but i thought all the race bikes were really cool to see, especially Rossi's yamaha... i'm actually completely in love with that 05' 1000, but not going to buy one

really? see i had my 03' 1000 and a f4i at the same time and i hated the seating position on the F4i, i felt like i was on a old standard bike sitting straight up and down with the bars really high... i actually felt like the 05' 1000 was like my 03' only a little better

I just rode one of my friend's 1000rr's last weekend. Let me tell you.........it's NOT what I expected. I thought my F4 had an upright feel to it. I felt like I was sitting straight up and looking down at the forks. Not too cool.

It felt like I was sitting on the damn tank............not a seat. I felt too high, felt like I was sitting straight up and felt like my head was over the front forks, not the tank...........like I was sitting way too far forward.

Plus the bike feels wayyyyyyyyy too heavy for what it is. Just trying to turn it felt weird. I'm 6 ft tall and it felt ( I really wasn't) like I was tippy toeing on it while trying to turn it.

DAMN...guess i'm used to my older bike. that thing felt super light to me. haha. that's me sitting on it and i know i'm not riding but i look big on it but feel like i'm sitting back a little bit. i'm 6'2" 180. my girl is like 5'4 or something and the honda guy had her tip toe it back into position...hilarious!

yea the 929/954/1000rr really put you right over top of the front wheel... which i guess should be a good thing, but it feels so twitchy to me having the bars almost between my legs
