Hiya. The R1 is a fantastic bike, but the 2004 is narrower than previous
and even my hubby says of the 99 model that its like you're sitting very
much 'on' the bike rather than part of it - if you know what I mean, the
seat is quite high and the tank rather short. The blade is wider and he
found it better to ride size wise, but he didn't get a choice, he had my old
R1 when I got the new one.

HTH, etc
