I have been truly blessed throughout my life and have owned more than my share of bikes. After owning a MV Agusta F4RR I can say my love affair with the Italians is over. However I also owned an 09 R1 which I truly loved. The bike I will own next will be a new R1, the amazing sound of that cross...
I too have a 2008 and I switched over to a Ballistic 12 cell lithium. Problem solved! Also be sure to put the bike in neutral, that will help with hot starts..
Here's mine. You will love it when you have to change oil and you will hate it when you have to change plugs! They are very smooth bikes with a soft suspension, strong mid range and good top end. They really need an exhaust and need to be flashed to unleash the beast. Never got used to it...
