Excellent question. :)

That's been my primary bike since late 2001. 
I use it almost exclusively for sport touring, and on occasion for day rides
around the tight twisties in the SF Bay Area. I can really find no fault 
with it
at all. The R1 motor flat out kicks ass. (Mine makes 127 rwhp) 
The seating position (with lower bars) suits me to a tee. A custom Rick 
Mayer seat 
makes my butt happy, and I installed an Ohlins out back and had some minor 
upgrades
done to the forks. 

I have taken mine to track days and ridden all over California on it. It can 
rail through the 
corners or be ridden leisurely. It does it all and I'm having a hard time 
convincing myself
that anything would do it better. I dumped my R1 for it, and I have never 
regretted it.
