Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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. *jb
