2005 R1, USA import.
Has some decent mods on it, and it's stuff that I would do anyway, which is good. Has been commuted on so it's a bit tatty, much mechanically seems strong.
Ti Akra cans with de-cat, K&N filter, goodridge braided lines, ALTH discs, MCT revalved suspension, Zero gravity screen and the most squared of tyres in the world.

Different tyres are going on ASAP, then oil change and ride it. Will be getting tidied up over the next year or so I would think.
Yes it was photographed with my favourite potato. ____________________ My Flickr |

I was helping out Chris scope out his R1. I recommended it after I purchased mine. Considering that both of us rode CBR929/954 FireBlades, it was only fitting that I recommended him an R1. I viewed the bike and it was an honest & genuine bike.
To be fair, it was me that noticed it was a US import after he had won the auction. The reflectors and the fact that the original owner had1 purchased it from Taz superbikes was the other giveaway. Other than that, an honest bike for a decemnt price.
Parallel and grey imports were BIG back in the mid 90's - early noughties, where you could have saved up to 2k on a brand new litrebike. As long as you had the headlights changed to RHD beams, they were fine. Taz and DK were big importers, but then the market dried up when UK official dealers were driving prices down to match grey imports. ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

My Bros was imported from Japan, I chose it straight from the container. It was a grey import, but it didn't worry me in the slightest. Owned and rode for 4years, no issues. ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |
