I'm from the West of the country. I've had 4 R1's of various models over the past 15 years of sports bike riding, have tried other machinery in between (RSVR, Sp1, RC8 etc. ) but you cant beat Yamaha for its mix of performance and looks, specially the 09 (red frame) I currently have. As you can see from the other bikes above I also like V twins, the R1 is a good compromise between the low down power of the twin and screaming top end of the 4 imo. I'll get the bike out and take a few pics over the coming days and post them up
