Temptation

Walking around elizabeth st. yesterday apparently I can trade in my ZX6R with 98 R1 for $3500. It has a carbon yoshi pipe too

now why would you even THINK of doing something like that?

my thoughts exactly........

Thats the Darkside of the force
the early R1's had very soft headstems and the bearing part bellows out from doing mono's Keep away from them they are "JUNK"

mario

why would u want an R1

stick to the kwaka's mate

you should be slapped silly!!!
although, sometimes it would be nice to have a few moe cc's at your disposal... albeit, not those Yammy ponies!!
"3-5" tho, eh?????.... hhhmmmmm... NO!! NO!! bad, not good, stop!!!!!

I hope they're giving you the $3500

Old wives' tale. There are plenty of carbed R1's getting up over 60 and 70,000km, including about a half dozen I know of personally, which will have got there being flogged the whole way and they haven't sprouted any steering-head issues.

Keep away from them they are "JUNK"

The hell they are. I've done overdue valve clearance services on two of those flogged high-km R1's I mention earlier (one with 55,000km on the clock, the other 58,000; Yamaha specify the first service interval at 48,000km); neither needed a single shim changed.

What early R1's have survived being highsided into rock walls and wheelied into the backs of buses are proving, if anything, well above average in terms of longevity and finish. They don't corrode if parked outdoors and don't drop their guts if made to go 13,000km between oil changes because the owner's too skint to afford either a place with a garage or oil.

Well it would solve my cracked fairing and wanting a loud pipe problem with added 400cc and inverted fork as a bonus OTOH I love the ZX and don't feel like spending cash at the moment so I'm keeping it

If you were gunna do somethin like that get a hardly instead less ppl will think you are a wanker that way.

I can't pick on yamaha's anymore since i now work for them And they offered me a new r6 bloody cheap

i told them when they make em as good as kawasaki's i'll think about it lol

Sure they are great bikes if you own a wrx and a hardly then the only other thing you need is a R1 and your complete
