Are R1 Yams any good ??

[Richzx10r]

I have a 2010 R1.Bouhgt new in november.Rides like my old sp2 low down the revs and my previous bike(06zx10) as you progress through the rev range.I chose the R1 as its the only new thou that isnt shrinking.The new blade felt smaller than my first bike,a 636.The zx10 has shrunk also.Being 6"2 its a perfect match for me.I also looked at the rc8,very nice bike indeed.

I'll be selling a 05 plate R1 soon if the deal with your mate falls through.

Hi, I was looking for something a little newer but let me know when you are ready to sell, if I do not get fixed up I could take a look.
Thanks

2007/08 R1 is a fantastic bike for the road or track and is probably still the best looking Jap sportsbike out there.

I have a 2007 R1 (red/white) and love it! I am 6 ft 2 and have no problems with my legs, it can ache your wrists a bit but just need to grip more with your legs and relax when you can.
I have just gone down to a 16T front sprocket and put race baffles in the stock pipe and the thing is an animal now.
I live in Melksham as well so give me a shout if you decide to go down the right route and we'll go out for a blast!

Will post some pics soon. 8-)

I sat on one at George Whites open day earlier this year, it felt very alien and the bars seemed to be to close to me.
I felt it was least suitable riding possition out of the bikes I sat on (R1, GSXR1000 and Blade)
