    Trade: 2011 Yamaha R1 w/ 3K miles for something more comfy

    I have a red and black R1 and find that I want something more comfy to do long rides.
    Dont get me wrong, this bike is super fast and handles great, but seems like my back and legs cant handle it. I dont race or track.
    Im looking for something similar in year with low miles. Something like a Ducati streetfighter or monster, Honda CB1000 , kawi z1000 or Ninja 1000 , anything similar to those type of riding positions Ill be interested in.
    The bike has had 4 oil changes so far, 1st @ 600, @ 1000, @2000, @3000. Bike has never been dropped, and stored inside.

    Bike was purchased new from Riverside Moto in May of this year so Still has Factory warrenty and you can purchase an additional 4 years of extended genuine Yamaha Warrenty from a ebay seller for $388.
    Bike is fully paid off and title in hand.

    Mods: Top of the line Leo Vince Factory II Titanium with Carbon tanks, Carbon fiber heat shield , Leo Vince Y pipe to delete Cat. / ECU tuned and pulled 157 RWHP on a dynojet dyno.
    HIDs
    Full T-rexx frame slider, clutch slider, front and rear axle sliders.
    ASV forged levers (RED)

    Have you tried lowered pegs, heli-bars, and Puig screen? beautiful bike and even these relatively small modifications will make a difference.

    Oh, I see. I think you would do well to pick up an FZ1 for the following reasons:
    They are a proven design
    Many available parts
    Lot's available as they sold well

    Lastly and most importantly - you would not need to change your username! :-)

    Something like http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/mcy/3260937941.html
