Hi Tony,

Bill
It's certainly a different riding position than I'm used to but it just different, and not in a bad way. The steering feels quick and responsive. So far no complaints. And, I got 63 miles to the (imp)gallon, so it will pay for itself in no time at all. :woohoo:

It has a tag on it that says limited edition, number 179 of 1000. I didn't notice that til after I bought it.

they set the bar and were often used as a measuring stick against whether the newer R1's were better or not...2001 was one of the best yrs and they are a deal right now...not like the rc-51 which folks think are worth 5-8 grand...how much 3000??????

You aren't kidding about those RC-51's. Every time I find one that looks like a good deal, it's crashed. I just don't see $6000 for a 9 yr old bike.
Tony I love your R-1. It's awesome that you got an LE and didn't know about it. The ergos on my zx-10r don't bother me. I put 900 miles on it in one weekend. The thing that bothered me the most was my ears, from my helmet.

Josh, could you post a pic of your zx-10r? I'd really like to see it.

From the rags I've read the Yamy's were the good handling ones. Congrats on the new bike.
Thanks.
