I am looking at buying a liter bike next year I'm trading in my z800 because I want a sports bike and something with more power and I was going to get a new one but being 21 the insurance is like $350+ a month which is insane but a 3rd gen around 08 is more affordable for me and I was looking into them as I found a 09 R1 for the same price and I wanted to know if anyone owns either bikes and has some more info on them for how each ride and handle and how well the power is actually put down.
