Friend with new R1 and stunt cage.

Sweet ride! I've got a friend that I ride with about every weekend with the same bike.:luck: with the sale! Here's some pics of his. http://myspace-815.vo.llnwd.net/00562/51/85/562175815_l.jpg http://myspace-533.vo.llnwd.net/00578/33/57/578967533_l.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f198/pinegroveriders/pgrbr2.jpg

That cage ruins the looks IMO.

That cage ruins the looks IMO. he does a lot of stunts so it saves the hell out of his bike.

he does a lot of stunts so it saves the hell out of his bike. Retarded. That sh*t kills me.

That's dude is 21 years old and is loaded with $. He just bought a 2006 Acura TL fully loaded, navi package and everything. He's in business for himself and I guess he's doing really well.

That cage ruins the looks IMO. :iagree: He should have bought the Freestyle Ingenuity Cage, instead of the 905 racing cage, that thing looks terrible imo and the FI cage definatley makes the bike look better.

Cage = teh suck.

Split from F/S thread.

Atleast paint the cage silver like the bike or black.....But sweet R1 though...thats my favorite R1 color

The bike is sweet, but the the cage needs to be painted BADLY!!!!

Well I sent a message to the guy today to see what's up with the ride for the weekend and this is what he replied with... Blew up my motor today. Fu@k!n Wheelies.... I'm out of commission till September bro. -Zack

:yikes: :lol: :crazy: yeah man he's really bummed out now. I told him I'd help him part it out, and everything thing just like I did for my SV. I've been thru it, and know how well the out come is of parting out. He's looking at getting an 07 R1 anyway. That's all he's been talking about for the past month or so.

I'm tellin ya R1... you need to drop your oil pan and turn those oil pump pick ups towards the rear. The R1's are NOTORIOUS for this!!!!

Well Zack is one that does mile long+ stand up wheelies, and he well over exceeded one mile today. That's when she went KaBOOM! I'm no where at his level of wheelies...so I don't have too much to worry about yet. Also he's waiting till the 07 R1 comes out to get another one.

Ive heard that the 07 R1 is going to be completely revamped looks wise....anyone else hear similar?

Ive heard that the 07 R1 is going to be completely revamped looks wise....anyone else hear similar? I've known since 04 that the 07 will be a totally different look. That's it's year for a face lift. it'll be bad @ss... we just gotta wait a little bit.

Yami has always been tight lipped about new models. It is time tho. If they follow suit from the last decade or so.

I'm tellin ya R1... you need to drop your oil pan and turn those oil pump pick ups towards the rear. The R1's are NOTORIOUS for this!!!! :iagree: I had to do mine on my 03 R1 or I would have blown my motor up probably 50 times over

NM... it's the wrong year

Ive heard that the 07 R1 is going to be completely revamped looks wise....anyone else hear similar? There was a picture of the 2007 R1 in Motorcyclist Magaizine, i think. I have it at the house. i'll bring it to work tomorrow and scan it, put it up here with the article. As for the 2006 R1, it is going to be recalled because they continually blow camshafts. The 2006 R6 is supposed to be recalled also, that was publicized (sp) from Yamaha because it does not redline where it is supposed to so they are offering a full refund or for you to wait until the 2007 R6. ((**I am told this by dealers as well as people who race at the local track and are sponsored by Yamaha**))

Just an update on Zacks R1. He bought a 2005 R1 engine for his 2004 R1...it should all match up. Also the same day he went to the Yami dealer and put down a $1000.00 deposit for a 2007 R1. Even though no one really knows what it will look like...he doesn't care, which ever color comes in first he's got first dibs on it. I don't know if I totally like that front end on that concept 07 R1 above. It's just a concept model...so we don't know just yet.

http://www.raptorsandrockets.com/images/2007_R1_02_rr.jpg Hotness!!! Regardless of a concept or not!

Hotness!!! Regardless of a concept or not! ohhhh yeah it's bad ass...but something looks weird about the nose. maybe it's just the picture.

i'd ride it like a pornstar...................

The '07's should be coming out in a couple months. Proly not available til '07 because it has been three years and are in order for a complete redesign.

The '07's should be coming out in a couple months. Proly not available til '07 because it has been three years and are in order for a complete redesign. Yup, and best of all Zack will have one asap! I remember the day Ball_Sak first bought his 04 R6 in 2004....we decided we would both buy the R1 in 2007 when the new design came out. That has all changed 3 years later....I bought my R1 already, and can't afford to get a brand new one, and Ball_Sak is building a new house so there goes his 07 R1 funds.

I like the 07 R1, though that is a concept picture, I hope that they change that intake on the front, that's the only turn-off. I will probably have one, if not the 1000RR next year. Anyone want to buy me 2005 R6 with aftermarket parts?

I thought you were getting an R1 a while back.

Anyone want to buy me 2005 R6 with aftermarket parts? That intake is straight from motoGP. Straight in through the frame and in the air box. Kawi has been doing it for a while and it's definately better than the old. It might not please your eyes, but it's the best way to get the air in.

Well it's about time you check in Graf...it's been a long @ss time man! You still have the 05 R6 huh? I thought you were getting an R1 a while back. Yeah, I was going to. Then everyone around here got one and I don't want one anymore. The people around here don't even know how to ride them, they are more of a 'show' bike then anything; you know, "I have to show everyone I have a 1K instead of a little baby 6". There has been like 12 deaths here in El Paso, Texas this year on bikes. Last night four riders when down like 3 miles away from my house. I'm still going to get a 1K, just wait until next year probably.

that 07 R1's nose looks like Michael Jackson's nose when it fell off

((**I am told this by dealers as well as people who race at the local track and are sponsored by Yamaha**)) I heard the same thing about the 2006 R6. I have one and I went to the dealer and they told me that there is no recall. He said he checked my VIN through Yamaha's website. Can you tell me were I can find this, what does (sp) mean. Thanks man. Here is my email so that you can send it sw1fter79@yahoo.com thanks.

Also, you don't want to post your email like that on an online forum... There are trolling webbots, basically computer programs that search the internet, that look for email addresses posted online to put on email distribution lists... I would just list my email as sw1fter79 'at' yahoo.com... Of course the trolling bots are getting smarter and can recognize that too sometimes... could do sw1fter79, yahoo, dot, com...
