1994 FZR600R to 2004(ish) R1?

What is the downside? Other than opening the wallet.

90% back road scratching, could do with more mid-range (getting lazy with gearchanges!), manic top end not highest priority, running costs not really a problem on 5k miles a year, old git insurance and DIY maintenance, but don't need cruiser style just yet.

Downside? there isn't one, not at all, is the 04 R1 injected? even better if so.

Very fine year for R1s, you wont regret it.

lots more power, but a gentle right hand until you get the hang of it is all you need.

downside is that the R1 isn't a 98 or 99 model.

If it was an '09 R1, I'd be saying to you...

GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT

But I suppose an '04 is good enough!
