Nov 26, 2008 - Damn... I've always liked the gixxers over the R1's but I gotta say after hearing this bike in full exhaust sound, it's sounds fucking awesome and will bring out some major horsepower. That must be the Akropavic system. Looks sweet, I just might get one instead of the new gixxer1K.

Dec 5, 2008 - Well don't get too excited yet. I've rode a lot of bikes and the R1 is by far the weakest literbike unless you are comparing an old zx9. The proof is in the numbers and I think we all know paper numbers don't mean shit. I agree it sounds fuckin awesome! (can't wait to race one against my Gix1K.
