I hope you have "organ donor" on your drivers liscence. At least it will be one smart decision you've made.

Just curious about the weight on your R1 is that dry weight?
just wondering thats all, I have an 06 R1 and dry i think its at about 380 lbs, and the horse is around 135 at the crank. I'm thinking thats why the upped the horsepower from 06 to 07 to compensate for the weight gain etc. unless of course you have some mods done to it.....if thats the case what have you all done? exhaust? power commander?
and good choice of oil in that beast, exactly what I'm running, and I've been thinking of going with a Bosch Filter this next time around.

The FZ-09 is a different matter altogether...I love those bikes.

No, that's full-up wet weight. They were 460 from the factory, and I figure I lost around 10 lbs with the full titanium exhaust (Akrapovic/Termignoni hybrid).
The R1 has been rated around 180 at the crank since 2004 when they went to the short-stroke engine. There's little difference in output from 2004-2008. 2009+ lost a bit, thanks to the crossplane crankshaft, and, unfortunately gained some weight, too.
The 04-08 bikes tend to dyno around 150-160 RWHP, and the 09+ is in the 140s.
Never had mine on a dyno, but it has the full race titanium Akra header and Y-pipe, and Termi mufflers, and a Power Commander running a canned map, and a Pipercross air filter. So I figure I'm pushing 160+ RWHP.
Yeah, I have 55,000 miles. The RT6/Bosch combo has worked fine for me. But, due to some UOAs posted here showing some shear with that oil, I'm going to switch to standard Rotella 15-40.
