Stop letting/helping Larry cheat!! :D :whistle: We could still use some Show Room pics.:lol:

:whistle: We could still use some Show Room pics.:lol: :iagree: :dthumb:

That's the LE, which we won't be getting, but it looks similar. I'll have to see what I can do about pics...I've been a little busy lately. Larry

That's the LE, which we won't be getting, but it looks similar. I'll have to see what I can do about pics...I've been a little busy lately. Larry I thought the "Limited Edition" and the "50th anniversary edition" was the same bike???

Heck even some camera phone pics would ROCK!

I thought the "Limited Edition" and the "50th anniversary edition" was the same bike??? the noticealbe difference between the LE and the SE are the things that say OHLINS on them. :drool:

the noticealbe difference between the LE and the SE are the things that say OHLINS on them. :drool: OH, OK... I spoke with a salesman at the local shop here and he led me to believe the only YELLOW bikes would be the 50th ANN. which were the limited edition bikes- and only available with the R1. So i guess he had it wrong-? If i understand correctly there will be an available R1 in yellow that is not the LE...? The LE offering OHLINS shocks as one major upgrade.

the salesmen at the dealers are sometimes foggy about the things they sell. I once had to do some convincing that the Kawi 650R was not a four. Anywhoo...The 50th Anny paint (SE) comes on the R1 and R6. The LE is an SE with OHLINS suspension, light weight rims, and "tweaks".

Besides the Ohlins bits, the LE also has Marchesini wheels, a slipper clutch, and an extra $8k on the price tag. They also sold out almost immediately, so if you don't have one on order - good luck. Personally, I think the stock black wheels with the yellow stripe look better than the gold colored Marchesini's... I forgot to bring my camera to work today...maybe one day next week. Larry

Thanks, that helps. The extra 8 grand just helped me to grasp reality. :cursin: (why did I have to be born poor white trash!) lol

Doesn't it have more power also? (like it needs any more) :drool: :withstupi NO DOUBT!!!!

Doesn't it have more power also? (like it needs any more) :drool: My understanding is that the motor is identical except for the clutch. I think the R1 got some minor upgrades in general but that applies to all versions. My sales manager is an R1 fanatic, I'll ask him about any other differences. Larry

THX Larry. :dthumb: I couldn't remember if the improvements where for all or just the L.

Ya the more info on this the better!!!

He says the engines are mechanically the same except for the slipper clutch...now I gotta figure out where I left that camera :D Larry

He says the engines are mechanically the same except for the slipper clutch...now I gotta figure out where I left that camera :D Larry I swear I saw a new R6 (50 anni edition paint) on Saturday. I couldnt see any pipes, So I assumed it was the R6. I only saw it breifly, but I know it was definitely a new R something!

Any luck on finding that camera Larry?

Yeah, I've seen one out here in Vegas. It was the regular one though...without the upgrades. The owner dropped it and it was getting repaired. Hopefully they won't take as long as it takes to fix my ish. Pretty nice ride. YO SV...You bought the R1??

My riding partner just brought the Limited Se home. It is sweet.:drool: He's a member here but I don't think he has ever posted. Ill have to harass him till he post some pics. I didn't realize how beautiful the yellow was till I saw it in person. You cant see the metallic in the pics like in person.

I just got the lein release on the SV frame straightend out this past Tuesday so that can go up for sale now. I want to see if I iget a pay raise at the beginning of the year, if not I will just buy the R1 before spring time.

Maybe this will entices him to actually post with us.:skep: :lol: http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/500/medium/109_0976.JPG http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/500/medium/109_0986.JPG

That is way SWEET!!! :drool:

That is way SWEET!!! :drool: :iagree: :iagree: :drool:

I'll take a regular one which is probably more than I can handle:yikes:

Nice! That's a understatement! With pics like that I may put the R1 at the top of my list for the Most Sexiest Sportbike out!!!

Look at the forks and wheels... I hope he didn't pay 18K for that! Larry

Any luck on finding that camera Larry? Sorry man, I've been burried alive...you'd have better luck stopping in and seeing it in person. Larry

The LE is the R1 with the ohlins the se in the pis is mine and it is an SE .

The LE is the R1 with the ohlins the se in the pis is mine and it is an SE . :welcome: dallas116:twfrox:

The LE is the R1 with the ohlins the se in the pis is mine and it is an SE . Welcome to the board. I've not heard it called the SE, Jeeps first post mentioned it was "limited" so I thought he was talking about the LE, which it obviously is not. The 50th Anniversary paint job is extremely sweet looking but it's not "limited" like the number of LE's that were sold. Don't take it personally, I was just pointing out the obvious. Larry

The wheels are forged aluminum Marchesini's not the magnesium ones (NO DOT/NO JIL) But I got a spare set of the real McCoys with brand new Dunlops mounted up if some one wants to send me a demo... There is also a Factory Race Kit for the engine available seperatly. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

The LE is the R1 with the ohlins the se in the pis is mine and it is an SE . Its about time you showed up!:tt: :lol: :welcome: :twfrox: So to my understanding the SE is the normal R1 and the LE is the limited R1 with the extra perks.

Larry I was referring to limited as it being a anniversary bike.:sorry: for the confusion.

nothing personal taken Larry just sorting things out , sorry if it came out with rear sliding.

What? :scratch:

What? :scratch: I think he ment the all the confusion here GM.

I think he ment the all the confusion here GM. Yep! that's what its about.:dthumb:

Well I sat on 2 of the 50th Anniversary R1's yesterday at the Cycle World show... I will post pics once I get them uploaded to the gallery!

That's a understatement! With pics like that I may put the R1 at the top of my list for the Most Sexiest Sportbike out!!! It's also one of the meanest.

speaking of... i submitted some from the Houston show a month ago and they never showed. Am i that ugly they werent approved....:cry: Not sure about a month ago.... just try to put them back up!

Ok...so they do excist and here's one!! It was so AWESOME in person! So I bought both of them right off the floor!!! J/K!!! But they were that sweet looking!! http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/Cycle_World_102.jpg http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_095.jpghttp://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_100.jpg http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_098.jpghttp://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_093.jpg http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_101.jpghttp://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_096.jpg http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/medium/Cycle_World_094.jpghttp://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/521/Cycle_World_097.jpg I think HANDS DOWN this bike has the SEXIEST lines out right now! At least in the main stream! :drool: :bonk: :dthumb: :willy: :here: :drool:

It is sweet!

It is sweet! :iagree:

The plain YZF-R1 in 50th anniversary colors does exist. Mine is 226 miles new. So far I have only been able to find 3 things different for your 8k dollars on the LE. It has stock wheels (black with yellow pin stripe, not gold), stock suspension front and rear, and no lap timer using the starter button. It does have the slipper clutch and the longer swingarm. This color scheme made me get back on motorcycles after 12 years of thinking that I had them out of my system. As soon as I get a nice day here I will take pictures and post them. You really need to see the pearl flake in the yellow when it is in the sun.

:welcome: and make sure to get those pics for us! Even though I did sit on one myself!!! :dthumb: :D

:welcome: XJ550J:twfrox: Take those pics when ya get a chance.:dthumb:

Here are some pics @ 740 miles new. But I can not seem to do the metalic in the yellow paint any justice when I take pictures. I:\Dark Room\OUR PHOTO'S\Year2006\DSCN0171a
