Champions R1 numbers : Yamaha R1 Forum

WETPAVEMENT · 11-13-2002, 08:17 PM

I've meet alot of fellow CLE R1 owners and have always wondered who got #1 and who got #1000, wierd I know. lol Think Yamaha kept those two?

yamajj · 11-13-2002, 08:33 PM

i have #373 and i've seen #374 in town.

i have 388th but I heard they get more valuable as you get closer to the 1st one.

the limited i saw at the december 2000 dallas bike show 4 days before i got mine, had the number plate, but had all zeros.

Ninedown · 11-13-2002, 10:49 PM

I would think that either Yamaha or someone that works for Yamaha has # 1.

I got #15 which I believe is the lowest on this forum

how many miles does everyone have on their limited?

mine has 7000 and i picked mine up 12/20/00. i have two other bikes, but i didn't buy the limited to park in my garage. it has a ti akropovic slip-on, goodridge stainless lines and a k&n.

I am number 148.....
I think I have around 10,000 kilometers......

DrEvil · 11-14-2002, 06:36 AM

Just turned 20,000 on mine, don't remember when I bought it but I'm triing to put 100,000 on her

BTW I have #505 I think Todd Colbert had #535 when he had his but don't remember for sure.

I think Yamaha should put together a list to see who has what number and something like what state they are in, that would be pretty sweet!

modsquadr1 · 11-14-2002, 06:46 AM

Out of 1000...
I heard that 700 went to the states,
... and 300 went to Canada..
Is this true???

i'm in tulsa oklahoma. the other bike i mentioned earlier has been the only other one in town. his bike has the full akropovic system and he left his gawd awful reflectors on the bike.

if you knew me, you'd know i have this thing with orange reflectors....i've never liked them.....makes me want to

now, i'm going to have to go home and toggle my switch to see how many miles 10k kilometers is.......i do know 5 kilometers is 3.3 miles or so......hmmmm.......

modsquadr1 · 11-14-2002, 09:15 AM

I think ...1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
Then ....... 10,000 km = 6,215 m

i was guessing around 6200, so close enough for me. i ask about the miles because there are so many people around me saying, "i can't believe you're putting miles on the champions edition."

i really just think they are jealous because they don't have one.

champs387 · 11-14-2002, 09:30 AM

#387/1000 here. i guess there arent any except in the states and canada? i have seen two others on the road, i parked and talked to the guy, and 1 in a guys garage. so ive only seen a total of 4 in the last two riding seasons. from what i can tell the #s stick together in the state they were sold in. mine came from nc down by #388 who replied above.

yamajj · 11-14-2002, 09:45 AM

these were only offered in the states/canada. japan didn't get any because they like the standards better than the sport bikes.

ain't it kewl owning something unique?

probably the main reason i can't bring myself to sell my '97yzf1000.

rescueswimmer · 11-14-2002, 01:18 PM

I bought #989 at anderson's in pontiac michigan, 2 weeks later i roll in to pick up my plate, all proud of the limited edition r1 and guess what new bike they had sitting there. THE GODDAMN 1000/1000!!!! still i was proud of my bike, but 2 weeks and this was in october of 2001. i couldn't figure out how it wasn't sold yet, still never seen it around town?

Limited R1 · 11-14-2002, 01:51 PM

I have #815 and she has right at 20,000 on her.

young · 11-14-2002, 01:54 PM

Out of the original 1000, how many do you guys figure are left after people have totalled them? I wonder if there is a way to find out.
