'07-'08 Yamaha R1: Pricing?

[oh10raven]

India-Indian. Columbus smoked too much hemp on the ride over, heh.

Divorce sales are always the best deal, ugh, I feel bad for the dude. '09 R1, yellow/black, only 1400 miles, $8500:

So what's the problem here? Looks like exactly what you're looking for.

He's firm on price, that will tap me out of most of my liquid cash, since obviously no financing. I have to budget in almost $500 for tax/title/plate. Been lightly dropped twice, fairing need paint done or repaired. I don't need the jacket/helmet though, I might call him later to see if without those he's flexible that way. Hate the color/graphics, but that's not the highest priority. High retail KBB is $8500.

Looking at a few nice ones tonight and this weekend, I'm pretty sure I'll grab one.

I will sell you a brand new 2011 r1
Blue and white
$12,000 plus tax !

[oh10raven]

I'd try to get him to sell you just the bike as well. Might get closer to your $500 buffer. Drops don't look bad, but I agree with you on the color. That one does look better with the flames removed.

Hahaa, hey there. Which shop? Did the '11s have traction-control? Or is that only in '12? How much more is a '12?

I might've already visited recently, a couple of shops were offering similar. Shoot me a PM with your real name though, thx.

[oh10raven]

12' have TC

12' have TC

And a better front end look. (which can be switched out on the older ones)

I'm guessing G-Force Powersports on Colfax...

[Ghosty]

I got my '08 with 835 miles on it for just over $7k.

Deal of the decade! Hence why I'm taking so long and being picky until now. Now I just want a damn bike. There's an '09 Gix1k with only 400 miles, for $10k at a dealer. Showed it to my friend who's looking for a near-new Suzuki.

And a better front end look. (which can be switched out on the older ones)

I'm still looking at pics to see the difference, sharper cowl? It's hard to tell. oh10raven-Derek told me about the retrofit since I hate the bugeyes.

[Ghosty]

Ok thanks, I see now. The two new gaps at bottom-center, smoothing out the center verticle nose ridges, and addition of the reflector strips. But otherwise pretty subtle, dunno if it's worth the hassle of a full front-piece swap, heh, imo. I'd just live with the original front end.

[Mother Goose]

Before.... scared.
After.... angry that everyone thought it was scared.

07 r1, 5k miles, $6,000. Not mine, but thats cheap for a seemingly unmolested bike.

[Ghosty]

Thanks WolfEyez! Have looked at a few. That guy didn't put down his phone# so maybe a scam, but I emailed him. That's a good deal.

<He emailed me back that it was sold last night>

[Clovis]

It's already deleted so yeah, probably a scam.

Ghosty, have you considered a FZ1? It has a R1 engine and 95% of the R1's power but cheaper, cheaper insurance, way more comfortable and way more versatile.

The FZ1/6 is great for sport riding, sport touring, communting, ect. They're the best jack of all trades bikes out there. When I had my R1 (the one I crashed right in front of you a few years ago =P ) I started riding my FZ6 while that was in the shop.

After I got the R1 back I continued to choose to ride the FZ6 because it was so much better. Just food for thought.

My neighbor was talking to this guy about the bike. It sold, reportedly, last night.

[WolFeYeZ]

Found another:

2007 9,000 miles $5800. Yet again not mine, but cant tell if this one has been molested.

[CaneZach]

In Colorado? $14,000.

If you can't afford that, I know a guy selling a black ZX6 for $11,500.

Stock, been dropped once, dent on tank. No maint. records, but decent price.

[WolFeYeZ]

Go for that 7k one. Sounds like a sick bike.

[Ghosty]

Something weird about that Charcoal $7k one though. I texted him yesterday to send me pics either by text or email. No response. Then today I called him. His voicemail is generic, and no callback yet. Going to look at another one tonight. We'll see...

[oh10raven]

Where's the update on the recent purchase and pic's?
