Recently, my '01 R6 got stolen and I am thinking of stepping up to the plate and buying a used R1. However, I have noticed a sharp disparity in R1 prices in my area (Seattle, WA). So, I would like to hear back from you guys about what a fair price to pay for a used R1 (any color) in good condition with 10k or less miles on it would be. A Yam salesman told me that the 98's have shitty transmissions, but he may have been just trying to sell me on the '02 model. Also, I have a full set of blue/white plastics (including gauges, rear set, mirrors and head stem) for an R6 if anybody is interested.

sorry TagLaw for not welcoming you like I'm supposed to ;) :finger HEHEH It's true that the '98's had bad gearboxes. But that should be fixed on garantee.. if i'm not totally wrong. I got a '98 but the gearbox is changed... because it broke down.. :D Same with the '99 model. If you wanna go safe.. get the '00 or the '01.
