    Default My new Bike!!

    Here's some pics of my 2006 Yamaha R1. I bought the bike February 5th w/ 1200 miles and completely bone stock. The original owner thought he wanted a bike but didn't like it.

    Mods I've done so far:
    Full Termignoni Competition Exhaust
    A&R Smog Block Offs
    Factory Pro Velocity Stacks
    BMC Race Filter
    Secondary Throttle Butterflies Removed
    Power Commander w/ basemap
    Puig Dark Smoke Double Bubble Windscreen
    Gregg's Custom Flush Mount Signals
    Clear Alternatives Integrated Taillight
    Rear Fender Eliminator w/ Tag Bracket
    T-Rex Frame Sliders
    Harris Grips
    Yamaha Tuning Forks Bar Ends, Reservior Caps, and Oil Filler Cap
    Nitro Special 12k HID Kit

    Future Mods:
    Get tuned
    Pazzo Levers
    Vortex Rearsets
    GPR Steering Dampner
    520 Chain Conversion w/ -1 in front
    Lots of Carbon Fiber
    Maybe do some BST or Marchesni Wheels

    Now for Pics:










    Tell me what you think.

    Yeah I know one of the salesmen there named James Freeman. He knew what I was looking for and actually found the bike for me. Paid 8k out the door for it. That was a screaming deal b/c most of the R1s that I looked at on ebay or cycletrader at the time w/ more miles wanted 8500-9000 and I'd still have to travel to pick it up.

    I have the tag for it but I'm waiting until the rideout tag goes out. The lady messed up and put April 29th instead of March 29th so I'm gonna milk it for what it's worth.

    Yeah I'd avoid WOW if you don't know what condition the bike was in before they got it and also their prices are very high but they generally deal w/ people w/ less than perfect credit and also people who can't afford to pay 200-300 a month on a bike so they'll definitely capitalize on you.

    I know James personally and he sent me the information on my bike before they even received it w/ pics and seller information. He was basically the middle man. I didn't want to travel. It was cheaper for me to get it through them than rent a truck, pay for gas, and to take time off from work.

    They're supposed to put it for 1 month from the sale date. When I worked at Gwinnett Place Nissan they'd generally put it for 1 month from the end of the month date so you generally had a little over a month to get your tag.

    Thanks!! Yeah I love them. Everyone w/ R1s has the Akrapovics, Graves, or GTY-R. I wanted to be different so I shelled out a little extra for the Termis.

    looks pretty good. There is a guy on here selling an R1 and he said something about he shortened the exhaust 2" or something to tuck it in a little. It looks bangin. Just some food for thought.

    Yeah a lot of people shorten the cans on the Graves and Akrapovics b/c they stick out past the taillight and they melt or discolor the taillight. They chop them down almost to where the exhaust hanger is. The Termis don't have either of those problems so I don't see the point b/c then I'd have to remove the sticker, mess up the CF, make it a little too loud for my taste, and void my warranty.

    Noticed what I stated from page 1. Also I only paid 8k out the door w/ 1200 miles. You can't find a 04-06 R1 w/ twice the miles for that price. That's why I have to thank my boy James. If it wasn't for him I'd be paying a lot more for it.
