I currently have a 2001 R1 but am looking for a newer one and then also looking for a R6 for my girlfriend. We live near Milwaukee, WI so if you are within say 250 miles or so of us let me know, shoot me an email with pics, price, details ect to turbochargedLexus@yahoo.com thanks!

I am already working that angle with her, but some jack*ss she works with that used to "ride & race professionally" is telling her that the R1 would be too big for her, I am trying to convice her otherwise!

i hate to sound like that so called jackass, but did she ever ride before? 2001 R1 is pretty torquey down low and definitely not a beginner friendly. If i was to pick R1 year for someone to start on (not that i recommend any at all) it would be the 04-08. The earlier carbed ones are too much and so are the 02-03. So I agree with the "jackass" at her work:fact. Good luck on your search tho man
