Just out of the crate yesterday, these pictures were taken with the bike still in the warehouse. Opinion: I like it. The color is great, the seat is tall (i'm 6'1" and still flat foot but definately tall), overall very nice. I tried to take pictures with and without flash to see it in different light, the lighting in the warehouse is not very good. I'll try to take a showroom picture and get it up here too.

Craig, if it's not too much bother, could you switch on the head lamp and tell me if the lamp light has any effect on the fly screen. On mine at night I can see the light at the top part of my speedo. Thanks in advance. | ||

Hows about turning off the lights & see what effect the headlamp has on it? A pic might look pretty cool. | ||

How come songs from Jefferson Starship just started playing in the back of my mind????? | ||

In the showroom I cannot tell if the lights have any effect, I will look tonight when we shut off the showroom lights. Craig | ||

Thanks Craig! | ||

I like it. It might look better with a darker frame, though. Mad Max.  | ||

I hadn't noticed the new aerodynamic mirrors on the SX until I saw your pictures Craig!  | ||

uhm...Blake? I think the image filter broke...that first pic is listed as 171953kb or 171mg??????? | ||

The more I look at the the more I think this thing is designed for lane splitting the south bound curve on I-405 between LAX and Long Beach. Call it the mirror tapper special, or the lane dancer, or? | ||

Wycked look at the properties of the pic, it's not on the BadWeB server. You can link to most any pic on the web if the server hosting the pic allows it. | ||

171953kb is 17MB 8 bits = 1 Byte 1024 Bytes = 1 Megabyte | ||

I sized them down a bit, I knew they were big just didnt realize they were that big. This should load a bit faster. Craig | ||

On the floor.  Craig | ||

Glitch I didn't even catch that, I was trying to figure out why they were loading so slow and just checked the size of the image thinking maybe something got changed by mistake in the change over last night. Austin, I looked at it as being kb not just bytes. | ||

I think the word on the street is "wheelie mirrors"  Craig edited by 99buellx1 on July 29, 2004 | ||

They load fast for me, considering the server is about 30' away. Sorry. | ||

"wheelie mirrors" 10% BadWeB discount?  | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
once they are in your cache, they load fairly quick, its that initial load time, and mind you I am on broadband, someone on dial-up...they will be sitting there for quite awhile. | ||

It's beginning to grow on me !! For sure need to lose the hand grip thingies, and would look even better if all that silver was a deep blue color !! CJ  | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I still have this urge to burp the airbox cover  | ||

It's beginning to grow on me !! For sure need to lose the hand grip thingies, and would look even better if all that silver was a deep blue color !! Or even Black. I like understated better, and right now the silver frame, swingarm, etc really scream "LOOK AT ME!!". Throw that body work on a 12 with blue or black wheels & then you might have something. | ||

I like understated better like, oh, I dunno, a purple Dyna with chrome grip? sorry bud, couldn't help it ;-} | ||
| Ted |
I think those mirrors are a issue for a factory recall. | ||
| Jvarga77 |
Craig, you mention that the seat is high...is it higher than the 9s?? i'm only about 5'7" and can't flat foot a 9s...thanks, James | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
like, oh, I dunno, a purple Dyna with chrome grip? Wifes bike John, remember that. She wanted purple, I was gonna leave it in black primer. And yes my current ride is all blue & black. Simple to clean & understated. | ||
| 99buellx1 |
Yes, it is higher. You can see how the seat is pretty much straight from the passenger area to air box, where the 9S seat cups in after the passenger area. This can easily be made better by the installation of the Buell Streetfigher seat. (at least that's what I would do) Craig | ||

 Since when has an R1 been considered "understated"!?!?! | ||

Since when has an R1 been considered "understated"!?!?! No chrome heel guards or see thru bodywork | ||

Greg -- I remembered, but some folks can't pass up a moving target, yes? Blue and Black, family colors for many of us!! |
