So here's a few pics of my new R1 I picked up a couple weeks ago. 2007, bought it brand new (had 1 mile on it when I rode it off the lot). Charcoal Silver, all factory right now, first thing I'll do is the rear fender delete and then save up for the Two Brother's exhaust.

It's actually a funny story on how I bought it. My old bike is a 1984 Yamaha FJ600 (old school baby!) and I was out riding with my parent's and two of their friends. Well we stopped in a town to get some gas and my mom kept complaining about her helmet being too big, so the other guy told us there was a Yamaha dealership up the street and we'd go pick her up a new helmet. Welp, 3 hours later my mom had a new helmet and I had one hell of an impulse buy. I really honestly didn't know what I was buying when I had bought it, but I found out REALLY soon what the R1 is all about and I'm loving every minute of it.
