I've got a 2001 R1 and it is alot quicker than an RU. Its also lighter and more nimble.
Mines the last of the pre injection models and if your going to buy one get a 2001 as most of the problems (dodgy gearboxes) that earlier models had were sorted, theres apparently over 150 changes to a 2001 R1 from the earlier ones including better power delivery. Although its still fcuking mental.
If I have to understand, don't bother to explain.
