What happens when you combine a Graves WORKS Project / 2012 Yamaha R1 / purpose-built stunt bike, a three-time XDL stunt champion, fast cars, hot girls, helicopters, an awesome race track and film the entire event through Tyler Kirk Films? Pure and sic drift insanity and the most advanced drift bike ever built. Graves Yamaha champion stunt rider Bill Dixon and Graves Motorsports teamed up for the epic undertaking of creating a purpose-built stunt bike designed to showcase Bill Dixon’s stunt capabilities. When they tested the bike at Willow Springs Raceway, it blew away everyone’s expectations. “When Chuck Graves told me there were no limits to what Graves Motorsports could do, I had no idea he meant it literally,” said Bill Dixon, “The bike is the epitome of badass.” Watch for Dixon’s favorite shot of the video; him passing the Nissan GTR mid-corner in a high speed drift with the helicopter hovering on the outside of the turn. “Bill had so much fun drifting the Graves Yamaha, I was jealous,” said Chuck Graves of Graves Motorsports, “Projects like this are the driving force at Graves. ‘Create without limits’, ‘Strive for 11/10ths’, ‘Give maximum effort’ and ‘Just a bit more’ are the maxims we live by at Graves. I can’t wait for the next project!”

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing.

Noticed one of the mods is a modified tail section; Graves Motorsports Modified R1 / R6 Tail Section.

Is this a kit Graves sells? Would go great with the Graves low mount exhaust.

Fact 1: With police officers like that - not one criminal would ever run away :boobies
Fact 2: After watching the vid, I knew again that I can't really ride a bike... :no


Great vid - love the sound of the R1 - very mean! :fact

We don't sell the kit the tail was modified and cut to fit the R6 race tail section.

We do sell the low mount exhausts for the 09-12 R1 though www.gravesport.com or one of our retailers.

You can use coupon code: drift (in the coupon section of the website at checkout). For a 15% discount on orders over $100.00.

Thanks!

Here is a link to the general sales parts that we spec'd on the bike. Basically all of our 2009-2012 R1 parts plus the features listed in the first post.

Sprockets, chains, extensions etc would need to be sourced from outside companies. It would be easier to get you a quote on all the parts we can service if you want to give us a call at the Georgia office 678-354-3730 or PM your number and we'll call you.

Thanks..

"Street racing is for squids, keep it on the track." it was hard to listen to what he was saying. I was focused on those awful police officers.

How much lower is the low mount exhaust compared to the undertail?

SpidermanSS
03-07-2012, 10:43 AM
Same header, the can just exits at the side of the bike (like a current R6) instead of under the tail.
