Hey guys, bought my brand new 2016 R1 a couple of months ago, in my country (Argentina) import taxes are ridiculously high so I wanted to check if anyone from any other country of the world payed something similar or even higher (not probable).

Here's Yamaha's official price in Argentina:


34.500 USD

This is for a R1, not R1M. An M costs around 44.000.

holy crap...! I originally was going to import my R1 from the USA but I got such a good deal here in Panama that it wasn`t worth it. I paid 17k out the door which was almost the same people were paying in the USA.

The retail here for the regular R1 is 20.5k though. I just had a good relationship with our local dealer.

On the upside I doubt insurance in the USA is cheaper than Panama... so I think my R1 in the end went cheaper than what folks pay in the US.

Wow...I was under the impression my Norwegian neighbours - with all of their additional environmental taxes, luxury consumption taxes and other bullshite added to the price - were expensive with the base model just north of $ 30.000...
