@@JT2JZ truly glad to hear that. Let me guess, the crank needed replacement ? Because as far as I know about this one, the cranks do tend to blow up after a while. I’ve never owned this model and I do plan on buying one but alot of guys have told me thay this specifc model 09-14 has some heating problems and the bike literally burns your knees and is not suitable for hot climate areas. Is that so ?

They do run hotter than normal flatplane bikes that’s for sure. Not hot enough to cause significant issues though in my opinion. It’s just annoying on the hot days. My bike had a starter failure ( apparently it’s another common issue on these bikes ). My starter failure happened to me at the worst time. I was on a bike trip roughly 2000kms away from home so was very inconvenient bomb starting it the rest of the trip.

Has the carbon m4 exhaust. I love this bike. I decided to keep the shrek ear mirrors.

I just want to point that there's 7 levels of TCS, 6 modes on and 1 is entirely off and the 'modes' affects throttle response, not power. A means 30% more response, B is 30% less and STD is standard for no interference. I heard B mode shaves a bit of power off the top end.
@JT2JZ
2 жыл бұрын
I’ve tested the different power modes to see if they actually made a difference in a race situation. Power mode B was very similar doing a wide open throttle run lined up beside my old 2006 R1. Did the same race a second time in power mode A and my new R1 pulled ahead in the early rpm and continued to creep away up top as well. In conclusion the power modes affect response yes but they also affect wide open throttle power through most of the rpm range. It was a pretty cool test seeing the difference first hand. I plan on bringing the bike to the 1/4 mile track and testing it again. Would be fun seeing exact numbers

I've got an 09 R1 and personally very much prefer the stock mirror look over the delete or bar end mirrors. The proportions just look right to my eye. I also simultaneously owned an 05 R1 up until selling it a couple weeks ago so I got a lot of seat time (like you) switching between the two platforms. It's so wild how the 04-06 R1's are extremely fast bikes in their own right but if you jump off of your 06 and hop on the 09-14... DUDE... the crossplanes make the earlier generations feel so slow and boring. That torque just kicks in and the sound is absolutely insane. My 05 R1 had Toce exhaust so don't get me wrong it was LOUD. But my 09 sounds like a fine-tuned war machine. It's absolutely crazy. You easily pull the front wheel up when you're in A mode and that in combination with the sound makes you feel so freaking POWERFUL when you get off of it. That's the difference. When I rode my 05 I felt cool. I had custom painted it in arctic camo and highlighter wheels so it was sick. But getting off my 09 R1 I feel like a legend among children. It's crazy. Intoxicating. Addicting. People would talk about oh crossplane sound this and that and I was like meh when watching videos... but dude.... owning one is inexplicable. You just feel like a legend.

If you ever get the chance to try a Crossplane definitely don’t pass it up. It’s a very unique power band.

Doesn’t run very smooth in the low rpm but once you hit the power band it pulls like a train all the way to redline.

Very good info. Thanks for the reply! 65000 miles out of a performance bike engine seems not to bad in my eyes. I’ve never seen a sport bike with that high of kms to be honest.

The body is mint because the fairings are either repainted or aftermarket. 2012 never came in the black colour

Interesting. I’ve seen other black r1s around. Maybe they were not 2012s though. I bought it off the original owner but I guess you never really knows with a used bike sometimes.

The fairing fitment is perfect unlike a lot of aftermarket options I’ve seen. Paint looks original too but hard to tell for sure.

Honestly I was in the same shoes. My 2006 R1 was my baby. Didn’t really like the 2009+ body style until I saw this one that was all blacked out. The 2012-14 have an updated front headlight design as well that look a bit nicer than the 2009-11.

It looks better without the mirrors, but on mine i didnt remove them, because of functionality. I use the mirrors often, so its not worth it to remove them for me.

It’s risky buying used sometimes. It’s sad you can’t trust people these days.
