What is a fair price range for this generation of R1? Consider it <5k miles, exc./mint condition, bone stock Colorado bike, no known accidents, no problems with anything mechanical, brakes, tires, body/paint, 1 or 2 owner max, etc.
KBB says mid-$7k's but doesn't factor in mileage.

In Colorado? $14,000.
Some 07 Yamaha R1's had a LAG (ECU) issue, 2008's were not affected. I believe a Yamaha recall.
What does that have to do with what he asked?
True, I thought may have been asking for known issues with 07-08 year models as well as pricing...

I know right, I mean its not like it sounds like anyone is going to be buying one or anything.
I'd say $7k is a fair price, maybe a little lower if you find a good deal. Tylar got his '08 for about that 2 years ago. Bone stock, still had the original tires on the thing.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the info!
There's a couple good ones right now. We'll see how 'flexible' they are. Unfortunately the market in Colorado in Spring means I might have to also be flexible to get a mint one in my criteria, before too many more nice weekends pass.
I seriously hit Craigs at least 4 times a day for two+ months now.

I do some pretty extensive searching. I've seen some decent deals on what I'm looking for (VFR) but they're all out of state.Thanks everyone, appreciate the info!

Heh. I "might" pay $12k for a BRAND NEW one. You can get a NEW CBR1k for that at Fay.
Jmetz: Yeah, I decided it was too much of a pain to do the whole trailer thing and driving both ways. I've actually bought four trucks from out of state, a couple from the NorthEast, NY & Mass., flew out and drove them back. With a bike though, it would be too far of a drive, imo. Well, maybe if it was a big touring or Harley, lol. That hasn't stopped me from looking in bordering states though, if something amazing comes up.

Yeah I found a nice deal out by The Dragon. Tempting but too much for gas. I need a Geo Metro and a trailer.
Maybe if you and I find a deal in the same place at the same time..

What's your short-list of "wanted bikes"? I'll PM you if I come across anything.
Saw this today, seems like a decent deal for a nice low-miles Duc 1098, if anyone's looking. Beautiful bike, but not for me:

A fellow black Supra owner. No, but I just had lunch with him during our CRN meet last weekend in Castle Rock. I forgot his name, sorry, but his car is newly built, wicked too. Btw, I'm Indian, not whitey, lol. Don't know enough of you local yokels in person, to brave posting a picture just yet.
Is Shane "Sweck" with a burgandy R1 on CSC? That's his roommate.
