Hmmm, I keep having a hankering for an R1. If they're going to bring out the new model next year I think a trade in for a pre-regged 04 model might be on the cards, especially if the new one looks as ugly as that second picture! Wink

I'm still a fan of the 2002/03 R1, don't think it's been bettered yet.

The rear light looks smart on them too.

I have an 04, but would like to ride an 02/03 and a friend has a 99 that I have yet to go on. That would then be the (currently) three generations.

That black and gold is the limited edition R1-SP (special sport, or sodding pricey)

Top spec Ohlins suspension and 10 spoke alloys improve handling.

Stock 2005 R1 = 172BHP

Limited R1-SP = 175BHP

It is 1KG heavier but the internals have been improved a great deal.
Mainly for emission laws coming in, it is cleaner, but even more powerful.

Price around £9400 - £10,000

lol, I think SP is 'Sports Performance' and it looks like it's trying to be a Ghostrider modified wannabe.

Give me that bike in the same spec but with a Gauloises paint scheme and black Marchenisi and I may think it'll look rather good.

How can it be a kilo. heavier? Confused

In the US there is a black (Raven) R1, not sure if it's an 04 and 05 colour or just an 05:
