picked up this 2009 yamaha r1 last week. got tired of searching for tibs only to find them dented or rusted. so in the meantime i'll enjoy her. belive its about 154hp and 454lb's wet. redlines at 13,500RPM.

best i can say is its faster then what i can put into words.




sorry for crap quality my digi is outta batterys right now.

but yea i forsee myself with enough money for another tib in the spring time. but at least im back in something.

 

^^^

congrats

 

I would be so scared to ride that thing.

 

nice pick, i had an 05 R6S 2 years ago...that thing was sooo fun, till i almost died.

I sold it soon after lol

Whats your plans for the ohio winter? you got a beater?

 

well for now the plan is stay home. but i had a buddy who said he could sell me his old 240sx for a grand. so that could be one way to go.

 

Bikes are fun as hell. I'll be upgrading to kawasakis zx-6r next summer. My dream bike

Just keep your eyes on the road. I looked away for a couple seconds the other day and when I looked ahead the cars were stopped.... I went side ways when the back tire locked up but managed to pull it straight enough to turn and dodge the car stopping just past their driver-side door. Scary stuff.

I would kill myself on a 1000cc bike like yours lol. just be gentle on the throttle

 

P.S. watch out for them turtles fing02.gif

 

hell i'm watchin out for ohio drivers, damn the turtles!

yea the 1000cc bike is alot to wrangle. i'm still having trouble getting comfortable to run thru the gears. mainly because its possible to hit 100 in second gear....
