My R1 Thread :D

[rossiter]

Guys, heartfelt thanks to everyone.. I have literally been in the wilderness for quite sometime now, and it doesn't look to change anytime soon

I am piecing together a report on the lines of what OF posted about.. Will post it soon.

Thanks again guys, it felt really nice

The One turns one today

7472 kms, and a beautiful year later, the R1 never fails to stir something inside me when I thumb the starter.

Will post up the total cost of ownership over the past year shortly.. Have a stack of bills to compile and update.

I can still remember the day I got the One like it was yesterday

Congrats Akhil... I still remember the ride with your bike to Kanva reservoir in Feb 08... I was as excited just to ride along with The One as your were to ride it....

I went to the showroom in Malad and checked the the dates on the R1's. The blue one had '07 on it and the black one had '06 on one rim and '07 on the other! I brought this to the notice of the service manager there and he didn't have an answer.

I went again a few weeks after that and there was a blue R1 going through PDI and that one also was an '07.

I didn't check the MT as its not my type. I'll do that next time.

Grey market dealers will say anything to sell their bikes. When the Yamaha's were just launched, a dealer in Bangalore told me that these R1's don't go above 180km/h because they are restricted! lol.

how do u check the R1 model?? where is it stamped if its 07 or 08??
thanks..

Yam India know or care jackshit about setting up the bikes so I doubt they would have messed with it here. Unless it was changed at the country of origin, but I doubt that too as then the manual would be wrong.
