Congratulations Yamaha fan.
That bike looks effin HOT!!

Can you please elaborate on how much of a savings is it going for a year old bike? I assume the bike here was brand new, & just that it was a 2010 model, right?

Woo Carlitos a Big Congrats for the Legendary R1 .As you know I have been a big fan of your R6 thread and still dream to own one, though its a bit sad to know that she left, wish you could keep both.... but again if wishes were true .

Well you got R1 thats great but what I would like to know is what made you sell your Crispy R6? Just because I am a R6 die hard fan so just want to know if there were any implications, limitations, etc etc.. as I know you spend a lot of time with her and was in Love with the machine.

Boy o Boy...!!!

I guess you decided to go for things that actually matter , than crash n burn , as you may recall
Well as they say "The minute you settle for less than what you deserve and/or need, you end up getting lesser than what you settled for! "

Shantaka - Boy , am I happy for you!!!, First the R6 , then you getting married , now the R1 , you have arrived and in style.

I know u loved ur Cadmium flame R6 to death, can feel the nostalgia and emotional bonding u had to ur machine in ur post. But all the same Hey u now have a F***ing R1 , True Yammy Spirit Shantaka ,

I like the new jacket too, did u have to sell out the old yellow jacket as well ?? The Shoei helmet looks good, but i reckon u might have to go in for
Well , I can echo your sentiments mate, the first time I saw the Big R, those big menacing yet beautiful projector lamps took my breath away, Have been dreaming of an R1 ever since, I was too scared to even sit on an R1 mate, because I was so much in awe, have always considered R1'er's to be lucky people. Wonder when i'd be able to muster enough dough for an R1 ,

Yeah R1 legend is the holy grail of superbiking...welcome to the brotherhood dude, well as some of the other say, how much did the R6 go for, I did really like it.

Looks - Nothing matches an R1 , although these days an Aprilia / ducati's have been catching my attention , but hey we're true yamaha fans

I am being pressued to buy a car , a cage, but my heart yearns for an upgrade, I wonder if there are takers for my Baby yammy , who would love it as much as I did.

The 2010 R1 looks stunning , I'm floored, though I prefer black, but this is a beauty anyday, Kudos for daring to dream and then living the dream..

Take care and give me a call when u read this, this calls for a party,

Ride Safe,

Saaki

So how does she compare to the younger sibling, the R6?

Congrats Carlitos on your new bigger R..... Ride Hard, Ride Safe.....
