Hi my name is jacinta, I purchased a blue 05 r1. I have dropped the bike twice now, once on each side! The bike has cut out on me in mid turn, since I was half way through the turn and leaned over, I was committed. Its like someone hit the kill switch. I was fearful of the oncoming traffic as I laid in the middle of the intersection. As far as I know, there isn't a recall as of yet but there should be because of safety concerns.
