    Lookie what showed up in my garage

    First off, i would like to give a huge shout out to National Powersports. smooth transaction, no pressure, great priced, and an amazing selection to choose from. This is a top notch used dealership and it is easy to tell how they are succeeding so well. Ryan Nicholson (on here) was my "Sales" guy and is a great guy as well. They all are over there and not on commission, so they are all just as willing to help.

    Now that I have that out of the way... it took me 9 years, 3 smaller bikes, and 110,000 motorcycle miles before i decided to take it up a level to a "Big Boy Bike" (Thanks Oxx)

    Congrats on the new wheels! I bought my 2001 929rr from Nate and the boys. Excellent dealer not one bad or wrong word to say in the way they conduct their business. National Powersports is an A+ dealership. Best of luck with your R1.

    Idk. I love the linear power on the i4. Makes it super easy to ride.

    The 2 bros exhaust has a nice grumble to it too. Should sound nice on robs bike.

    My fault

    Try a 07 - 08 and you won't be disappointed. Fastest and best stock suspension R1 ( excluding the Ohlins LE model )

    Yup that's a good deal too. Both bikes are fast but have very different powerband.
