MrHixxx 0 #1 May 17, 2002 For all you motorcycle enthusiasts out there. I just got my new bike past the break in period on the motor and I am sittin' here with some serious perma-grin after a ride. I attached a pic from the yamaha website of Daddy's new baby in all her glory. The sick part is, the colors match my rig... Is that so wrong?Go Fast, Take Chances - Hixxx"Sous ma tub, Dr Suess ma tub" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #4 May 17, 2002 Nice ride! What is that, and 1100? I want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHixxx 0 #5 May 17, 2002 998 cc, fuel injection, 150 hp at the rear wheel, 170 at the crank. 382 lbs dry weight and just plain sexy!!!It is my third R1. Had a 98 that was totaled out from under me by a full size pick up (yup, that hurt). Just traded in a 2000 for this one, couldn't resist the improved frame, hp, and silver/black.-Hixxx"Sous ma tub, Dr Suess ma tub" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbrggs 0 #6 May 17, 2002 Women? Who needs them when you can go 190 or faster. Very nice bike. It takes balls to ride one of them. The fuel injection sets it apart from everything else out there, except the Honda which also has the FI. What does that thing top out at? Those are when leather is a nice thing.Yes I love you.....having sex with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHixxx 0 #7 May 17, 2002 I think it will hit about 180. I had my 2000 up to 174 on the speedo when it was new. Will have to get back to you on that one. I haven't take the new one out of the city yet...-Hixxx"Sous ma tub, Dr Suess ma tub" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GroundZero 0 #12 May 17, 2002 Jon,All right you're a Yamaha guy. My baby is a pristene 1993 FZR-600... (remember form our conversation I'm lighter that you.) My FZR has 38000 miles on the bike... about 2000 stoh... along with port, polish, time by a factory team guy... Ain't these toys great! I checked out the thread thinkin you were expecting (like we are). Something about two wheels. (yea the 84 will excite you!)ChrisSomething about goin 150 mph with yer face about 3 feet from the asphalt! YOU know what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #13 May 17, 2002 Very cool bike btw. I haven't tried the 208's yet, started with Metzlers, then went to 207's and like them.<-- Here's my current squidly beast, her name is Thumper--Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more.

FallRate 0 #18 May 17, 2002 Nice bike Hixx. I was "lucky" and got the '97 model just before the complete redesign. I am quite a bit too big for the R-1. But the 1000R fits perfectly, and after 23,000 miles I love her more now than when we first met. I have the black/silver model, and have been wondering when, or if, they would put those colors on the R1...the result is quite nice. I have a buddy who might be on his third R1 by now...he totalled the first two! Idiot. FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookit 0 #20 May 17, 2002 QuoteI think it will hit about 180. I had my 2000 up to 174 on the speedo when it was new.SWEET!!! Be aware though that bikes are notorious for having overly optimistic speedo's. When Motorcyclist did their top-speed test on the Hayabusa the speedo showed about 210 to 220 when the bike was actually doing about 190. It was certainly hauling ass either way but that's quite a difference.That being said...I've had my '96 Ninja ZX9-R up to an indicated 165. Despite the fact that it's been geared down it was still accelerating when I ran out of road and had to shut it down. I'm guessing I was probably somewhere around 150.Now I skydive and the poor bike sits in my garage wanting for attention. Anyone want to buy a '96 ZX9-R?Blues,Trey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did finally break down and sell the Gixxer, and just have the TLR now.--Give them a sip of the darkside, and they just thirst for more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHixxx 0 #22 May 17, 2002 That is a nicely nutured TLR. Hands down, v-twins sound the coolest. I was real close to buying a 748 this year, but I just couldn't give up the ponys.On the skins, I think I am going back to the 207s. I loved the Metzer Z-1s I used to have on my CBR.-Hixxx-Hixxx"Sous ma tub, Dr Suess ma tub" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
