    Wheelie R1 rider caught on Google Streetview



    IF, LIKE MANY you're brassed off with Google Streetview's car circulating your locality, showing every Tom, Dick and thieving bastard Harry what's parked on your driveway then you may find this image, snapped in a town in France, rather amusing.

    The Yamaha YZF-R1 rider hoiked a bigg'un as he passed Google's camera-car as it drove around his local town gathering information.

    Good work, French bloke. That'll show the buggers.

          The 2009 R1 is not available in Yamaha Racing colour(yellow with b/w stripes).. It was a limited edition in earlier model(please correct me if m wrong)
          It's prolly a 07/08 R1

          Those people who tell you not to take chances
          They are all missing on what life is about
          You only live once so take hold of the chance
          Don't end up like others the same song and dance

                I agree its the limited edition of the R1 in yellow/black n white colors. The twin lights lit together just give the effect of being a 09 model.
                btw..considering the snaps...thats what I call timing
                Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.
