IIRC the LE bikes did, however there were some bikes that just had the plastics and were not the LE bikes, therefore no ohlins.

 

wa wa wa WHAT!!!?? so my LE isnt an LE at all? i was wondering why it wasnt numbered.

 

:saw:

 

If you are talking Yellow 06's then there was an Anniversary and an LE/SP
The Anniversary was a standard R1 in Anniversary Yellow theme (like mine ) and then there was an LE, same color scheme but with Ohlins suspension, Marchesini wheels, slipper clutch and numbered plaque (?? of 500) on the top triple, the SP was the European designation in a Black and Gold color scheme

 

Hey Red, I thought the SP was the other LE edition that the U.S.A. didn't get.

I Really want this LE SP!!!

 

Yeah I cocked up what I was trying to write, amended :thumbup

 

Yeah, we got that as an SP in Aus. The frame was the same blue/grey colour as the fairing, and the tank was black. Looks shite to me, I much prefer the US yellow version. If they'd made it in blue, I would of been interested. As it is, it reminds me of Ayerton Sennas' F1 car..

What car was that????

 

wow so that's strange, but a friend of mine has a 2005 r1 that he claims is a special edition. It does have all of the body work, including the black wheels with the yellow stripe, and it is also numbered on the triple tree?

 

There is no special edition or limited edition in 2005.

That doesn't mean someone couldnt' have switched the plastics and tripple form an 06 though.

 

besides everyone knows yellow R1's are slower from the factory, all the speed is poured into the blue ones

 

:2bitchsla :no :no :no

 

they are all nice

 

ok so do you this this is a 50th anni? The forks look ohlins gold and might be picking it up tomorrow if the weather holds up.

Not sure what you are asking. That's a standard 06 with the "anniversary" yellow plastics. The forks are stock R1 forks.

 

After some research there were 2 yellow versions, the normal 50th and the LE/SP with the slipper , rims, and ohlins bits.

 

Um...yes. That's been said five or six times in this thread.
