The old livery looks pretty good on the new R1.

Damn that thing is pretty.

 

[HotRodZilla]

Awesome

 

[Cav47]

I bet its not very fast.

 

[bluesdog]

Lost my license just looking.

What I really want is an updated FZ1 but that R1 could nudge the old Ducati 999 out of the garage.

It's funny you posted this - here's a picture of me at Thunderhill on the new R1!!!!

Oh wait a minute - that's someone else... My bad

Damn Russ, I was hoping to ride your new R1 at Thunderhill next month. You have time to go buy one before our upcoming track day!

That paint would look nice on my FJR.

I'm thinking about it! I've been eyeing the 50th Anniversary LE version - Brembos, Ohlins, slipper clutch, etc... Available around the bay area for about $9k. then Yammie has to come out and put the new bike in the same colors - very cruel! But the '06 is still a sweet looking ride....

Russ,

I best my 2006 LE up for sale before the 2016 Special edition seduces you

If Rossi wins this year, and if Yamaha comes out with a commemorative edition in honor of the championship, then I will buy one as a matter of principle.
