OK, one thing I forgot to mention, R1's have welded subframes. That means that one moderately bad wreck and it's totaled. Loop a wheelie (I know, none of us EVER do anything that irresponsible
) and it's likewise totaled.
TLS' are more fun then a room full of hookers and a gallon zip-loc of X, but almost as likely to get you in trouble. (If you go with that one MAKE SURE it has a steering dampener on it! Headshake from HELL!)
Oh, and I accidentally nutted in my pants when I saw the Husqvarna. Georgeous and clean, and CHEAP! That would be somewhat similar to what you're used too (big ass single) and 'tards are a blast.
