I've finally made the decision that come February I will be trading in my 06 anni for a different bike. Good news is that i will be grabbing an 08 R1. My buddy works at a dealership and is going to get me a screaming deal on one. Looking to see if anyone here has a 07 R1 and what they think of it, because I dont think they are going to change much if any for 08.

They probably will just fix all the little problems the 07 R1 had. Just like the 07 R6 the Filter box was fixed and the tach. Maybe they will add a color, but if your getting a good deal I would say go for it second year bikes are the best.

"all the little problems" The only one I know about is the 5500 2nd gear hesitation...hopefully that's it.

I agree about the 2nd year models though...that's why I waited until th 2nd year the Z06 was out...just in case...and they added 20 HP as well. :YEA

I doubt it since the 07 was a redesign unless they're going to 800 cc's.

You could be right but like I said...I doubt it.
