My first motorcycle was a Yamaha FZ600. Sold it, then bought a CBR600F3. Sold that, then got a Superhawk. Then a (track-only) GSXR750. Sold the GSXR for a KTM450SMR (supermotard). Sold both the Superhawk and KTM for a Ducati 748. Sold the 748 and picked up a CBR900RR (1993!). I love 'em all, but I'm just too fickle.
All of those bikes suck. Just kidding.

I looked at the R1 but just couldn't justify getting another sport bike...after having two Ninjas. At 41, I'm more into nice, long distance rides on country roads...but I still love cornering as fast as possible and my FJR has no problems in that category.
