OP - Most here got the same addiction/sickness!! It's all good, add another bike! Have also had more bikes than cars and will stay that way :D There's no going back for us, why fight it ;)

He$$ ya!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!

I couldn't agree more.... Sorry fellas, but the new R1, initial reaction on looks.....meh......just not doing anything for me.

Time for some test rides! ;) I love the sound of the FZ-07 with a full Akrapovic :) http://youtu.be/-MbLgBJb4T8

The ape sure is purty :) Let's see what Yamaha has to offer! Won't be long now :)

Actually, I'd prefer a Ferrari over a Lambo.... But that's just me ;)

Couldn't agree more :)

My L4 750 fits me perfectly. Haven't tried on a Ducati. Time for a drive out to GP? I do like the 899 :)

My insurance is the same for both the Yamaha and Suzuki. I wouldn't imagine it being too much more if at all for the other bikes mentioned, but a simple phone call would answer that. A huge thanks to all for their input and honesty.

Thanks!! Agreed on the different!! That's a grest price for the '13 limited 1k

@ Shaman - what's the maintenance like for the Aprillias - RSV4 and Tuono?...

Those are some serious problems you've listed... Not good....Thank your for your posts! Think I'm gonna have to scratch that bike off the list... Dude, you're killing me with the Aprillia pics!! Tempting.....Really tempting :)

I can get a 2014 R1 today for $12,000.00 + taxes. No dealer fees, take it and go! To be honest, I'd be happy with either bike. There have been some very nice suggestions ie: Aprillia & BMW. Deal wise, the Yamaha stands out...Suzuki's winter sales promo will be presented most likely in a...

I'm going to take a closer look at this one :)

Long story short, many owners that I've communicated with have gone the dealer route. Yamaha has replaced the defective CCT with a new version - which I cannot say for (all), but we've found that the new CCTs are also failing. The course of action for (some) has been to install a set screw and...

Just out of curiosity, and not trying to be disrespectful, but you mention other solutions... If you would, I'd love to hear them. My post was based on what (I) and (many) others have done with their 09s. I'm in no way telling anyone what to do with their bike, be it a 09 or otherwise.

As for the 09: the CCT is the issue with the noisy cam chain. There are two options: 1) Install a set screw and nut to keep the CCT from backing out. 2) Install a manual CCT. I regards to the 2010 R1, that is quite a list of troubles for one bike...... As well, the heat issue keeps popping...

Thanks for all the input everyone! Best thing to do right now is remain patient. Motorycle shows are right around the corner!

The butt roasting I wasn't aware of...wonder if it would be any hotter than my RC-51?......yikes!! I haven't taken a Panigale S out yet, that was on the to-do list this year, but time wise didn't work out. $$$ - right now, I'd be more comfortable with a Japanese offering. 2014 GSX-R1000...

Not sure about Honda, but Yamaha has put out a redone promo for various models, with the current promotion lasting till Dec.31 As for the other 3 from Japan, their current promos to my knowledge, all end this Friday October 31st. Good time of year to buy a bike IMO :) I typically start...
