I was filling up, when I caught this gem of a car pulling in, so I scooted on over and got a picture next to it. Sorry for the quality, I was trying to hurry before the owner got back. ;)

Went up to ACH & Little Tajunga Canyon with friends yesterday. In 100* temperatures... One guy on a Ducatti low-sided, but not badly. Little T is prolly one of the most challenging slow speed technical roads. I hung on to my newbie dear life and made it unscathed. Whew! =)
 
thanks... i think he's the guy that fell later that pm... broken right mirror, fairing, turn signal. dunno how much those repairs cost on a Ducati, but I imagine a lot. Little T is not for the faint of heart. I need to practice getting faster I think... >_<

Nice lookin rig. Although I wanna have sex with that Ducati in front of you.

The FZ1 is basically an R1 with upright, sport touring ergonomics right?

Both are equally great bikes, just diffferent.

R1 is a little faster because of lighter weight and a few more horsepower.

FZ1 is a little more comfortable because of ergonomics.

R1 handles quicker because of geometry but FZ1 is more stable, especially with wider bars.

For two up FZ1 is much better for passenger.

FZ1 is much better around town, R1 better in twisities.

The catch 22 is you put a good rider on a fz1 against a less exp rider on the r1 and now the fz1's stability can rock the r1 in the twistys ;) all comes down to the driver of the bike IMO

Yes pretty much what cautious_Corner said...
R1 is a supersport race bike
FZ1 is a sportbike built more for the street etc....

great looking colors, the gold really make a difference!

they only did that year gold rims for white and black right? - wish they tried gold wheels on yellow - anyone good with photoshop can draft one up?
