man! steve is always having a good time. I need to make it down there this summer buddy.... Even he didn't have a good sunday, he still enjoys the ride to the fullest. Im sure he knows of a couple of good places to take a ride (many corners!). Maybe we could meet up and ride the dragon sometime that is apart of my TO DO list. Also what does your buddy say about his 09, does he like it? did he give a riding impression?


Yes sir, hey I ride the dragon a few times a year. sure we can meet up there. Its 10 hours from me but worth the trip. Also this year we're running the Snake at Shady Valley, TN in the mountains just east of Deal's Gap.

Friend says he loves his '09 compared to his old one. I still want to hear whats up with the bike-

Yeah man! im coming...we will exchange numbers eventually. Im looking into a Toyota Tundra within a couple of months. Just waiting on the right deal. That would be my mode of transportation to get down there. I dont think i would survive riding all the way down myself. Im down for some good times. Out here in New york, we dont see things like the gap or dragon. Need to do some more adventurous things. Why dont you see if you can get a test ride on it! come up with your own opinion, well if you can convince him.

What we did- Sunny 75 degrees outside so we took 4 generations of R1 Yamaha's out for a ride. The smell of ocean breeze at speed was nice-

First '09 I've seen in person on the left, my '08, '06 behind it, '03 to the right.

2009 R1











I actually like it! I'm sure I'll like it even more in person.
Nice pics

Yeah...I keep hearing the same. I am so tempted on executing on the R1. My local dealer has two white/red color combos coming within the week. I got a great price on it just need to decide if I would actually get one. I am sort of torn between that and the yellow/black combo as well. MCN has been reporting good things so I dont know if I should wait until the shootout comes to the US.
