I debated if I should write this up or not but seeing as I write about everything else I figure why avoid it? This is the Saga of Tim's Motorcycle. Last week Tim and I decided to move forward with him getting a new bike. The weather has improved and he was not comfortable on his Ninja. I started cal...

I'd think your R1's cousin the FZ1 would provide the comfort your are looking for.

No problems on my FZ6. They are bright and clean.
