I'm sure you've heard someone say something like, "yeah, if someone gave me that bike, sure. But I'd never buy one."

Well, in the case of a single-owner 2001 R1, this is no longer a hypothetical question. I know someone who's retired and downsizing their fleet and they want to give me their R1, and all they ask in return is that I have fun with it.

I've had my 250 for 5 years and I've spent a lot of time in the saddle. I've been riding a lot the past few weeks but before that I had about a 9 month dry spell, so I'm still a little rusty. I've also never ridden a literbike before. What are some things I need to consider? I plan on making the gearing taller to nerf the bike a little bit. Anything else I should consider?
