    Its all a matter of personal taste IMHO.

    I really like the later R1 etc but wouldn't swap my EXUP for one

    And with the right rider it'll still keep up with the newer stuff no probs. Only downside is the weight difference. I've sorted the brakes for the later R1 goldspots and fitted Ohlins front & rear

    Its the EXUP version of the FZR. They have more low down torque.
    Still gives one hell of a rush every time I take it out.


    have a look at my web site if you like them ...its in my sig

    Long live this thread.

    People are scared to give it to new bikes.

    Should be afraid of people on older bikes because we just have to thrash em harder =P

    i personally dont like these new shape bikes and its the same with cars, the manufacuters seem to just put a stupid curve or point in there panels for the sake of it :( :( :confused:arc: :msn1: and makes them all look like something out of startrek :w00t:

    Old school wins everytime with nearly all motors/bikes
    they may not have all the fancy electronics or sleeker shapes but they're always gonna leave you with a stupid silly grin on ya face

    yup, or for the two sportsbike riders (cbr 600 and a zx-6 beleive) that i outdid earlier through a roundabout on the RD it was more like an embarrased frown.
