Nice R1! That color's pretty rare among R1 owners. My brother has an '05 R1 as well -- and the Akropovic exhaust is very nice indeed! So is the power commander -- my brother and I spent several mornings putting new mappings onto his power commander.

WOW is that paint available for cars? What is it called. I have been waiting on painting my car a black cherry Kandy color but that looks so much sexier! Any info would be a huge help.

That is a hot bike.
I'm sure I would kill myself very fast if I owned one of those.
