Aged so well for the time. I also got an R1 for 3k but it needed only new tires and its a 2005. I couldn't believe my luck so jumped on it and will finally be enjoying it now that its getting warmer out.
If anyone ever want's an R1 but isn't a huge fan of the power band, get the R1's street brother the yamaha Fz1, basically an extremely underrated bike with the same Engine tuned for the streets and a more upright position, can be found for pretty cheap too, my brother had his with nearly 70k miles on the clock, extremely reliable if taken care of
PistnRods indeed, with proper maintenance and care, you'll get a lot out of it. Just don't forget to consider Readjusting your valves whenever you're concerned and actually hear them tap more than usual, some people have different intervals according to how they ride...some people say every 25k miles, others say every 15k miles, don't want to have another SV650 moment, #RIP Sv, gone but never forgotten
Might wanna get that thing tuned or see if its been tuned, could be some burnt valves in that bike future. Check the plugs, if the tips are white or light brown, get it tuned asap.. Edit: just saw that it had a power commander, check the plugs any way, make sure its not running lean. Better to be safe than sorry.
sv650 rider it's awesome traveled 2 hours away for it and it only had 398 miles on it so it was still in break-in period. It idled at 5k!!! I rode it home that way hoping that I wouldn't ruin it. Im for sure gonna have to get in those carbs....
Bro, This era of sportbike is forever my favorite. I look forward to seeing how that bike rides.
- The illestrator - I’m excited for it
I couldn't find the video to comment on it so I will post it here. Thank you for what you did for Eff-Zee! You sir are a good person!

Good to know these engines can take a beating and keep going.
