Default new R1/ pulled over 4 times in 2 weeks

hmmm. I think thing just looks fast.

I bought the new R1 and 5 minutes after I left the dealership I was pulled over (125 in a 55).NO TICKET! how the hell I managed that one I don't know.

Pulled over for no tag and speeding maybe 5 over.

Speeding again but barely over.

pulled over again yesterday for running a red light. I did not run a red light. I saw the cop and the light turned yellow as my front wheel was nearly under the light.

All of the cops were really nice though. I wonder what is up?

I have only been let go after getting pulled over twice in 15 years of driving and riding.

Then I get let go 4 times in a row? I better buy a lotto ticket. lol


the 125 in a 55 was a little blip in the throttle. I was probably running 65 in third gear and just twisted the throttle for a couple seconds to see what pull it had. Then I slowed back down before I ever saw the cop behind me. Very lucky on my part though

I once got pulled over for 120 in a 65 on my way to work, I was running late and the big boss was in town so I HAD to make it on time. I was polite as fuck to the female NHP officer and luckily enough she let me go.

Lucky!

I got pulled over doing 112 in a 55. He reduced it to 85 in a 55 which came to 6 points and $180.00 bucks after my trip to court.

I had some of the same experiences with my R1. Raven Black with pipes. I got pulled for all kinds of BS. And let go. I bet they were just making sure you had you license and all that. Now your warned. you MUST take it easy on that bike bc tey draw LOTS of attention! Have fun out there. Congrats on the 1.

It's so hard to take it easy.

I mean you all know how fast they accelerate and the top speed. Keeping is below 80 is VERY hard to do.

I finally had to sell mine, and it was a "slow" old 2001.

Good luck hanging on to your liscense.

I got one in my cage a couple years ago. 75 in a 45. the ticket was 275 and 6 points. I went to court over it and got probation. Payed 65 bucks and no points. I felt pretty good about that one.

I have been lucky several times on the bike. No tickets yet.
