Sweet! Mine ain't authentic, an originally cadmium yellow 09, but still a real looker.

Found - 06 R1 LE
Well I’m finally here (and back, after about a decade of no R1). I cross posted a WTB for a 2006 R1 LE and I found my mate. #26/500. She arrived today by way of an incredible motorcycle community member Juan (the delivery driver). I bought the bike sight unseen from CycleTrader site. Seller was fantastic, brokered the deal 100% remote, a bit unnerving but I had the title and a key in my hand next day once the money was transacted. She’s a 1 owner, all documents, tool kit, extras and OEM bits. She arrived today as expected and lives up to expectations.
10,089 miles
here is what’s on the docket this week:
Oil/filter
New shoes front and rear
Coolant flush/fill
Clutch and brake fluid flush/fill
Possible new gold chain and sprokets
Spark plugs
Air filter check/replace
I took her for her maiden voyage in New England today and I have to say she’s a gem. I forgot just how insanely fast these bikes are. Ear to ear smiles for days.
Happy to be here! Enjoy the roads my friends!

I feel bad for the first owner that kept this lemon for 20 years to still lose money.

#413-VIN ends in 3888
#244-VIN ends in 3427
Both manufactured in November 2005
This would suggest that all "Limited Edition" bikes were manufactured early in production however they were not manufactured in numerical order.
