your just an angry mexican lol. I hear u thou - but I dont think the guy is going to budge much more on the price. The bike needs nothing except an oil change. I guess I have to decide do I want an R1 which has more power than I'll ever use & will NEVER outgrow or get something smaller like an R6 which has more usable power, that I will eventually out grow.

your exactly right - no one ever uses any bike to it's 100% full potential & Im looking for something with more power. I have to decide rather quick thou bec the R1 might be sold by wednesday. I am looking into the R6, I have found a few thou. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3904744463.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3889106271.html < - salvage title thou :-( http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3841067231.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3832886412.html < - rebuilt motor, salvage title :-( http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/3853016325.html -seems like a good deal

Your just not getting it, I understand how BBV works, it's the starting asking point. that fact that he's asking 1k less then BBV and the bike is mint w crazy low miles....how is that over paying? Do tell bec I gotta hear this!

delicious, makes me hungry, only bad part is getting the chunks of corn out of my teeth

i also find if i jizz all over the bike before I ride, it helps with tire grip ;-)

i know its worth more than my bike, i thought he was being a smart ass, plus w that Ducati there's a mot more upkeep needed, Hoblick has one

new oil in it, and bec thats what u do every riding season ? lol

umm, no im good lol

I was on their site a few days ago and it claimed 3,8xxk,maybe I put something in wrong idk? lol I was going to say 3.5k is what I'd sell it for seeing how it has new sprockets, chain, and oil. But if it's only work 3.2k retail then 3k is fair price. I'm not even sure I'm selling it thou, I kinda need a new bike 1st and Idk if I'm going to get this R1 or not.

Book Value for it is 8k ish and it only has 3,9xx miles....I dont think thats a bad deal.

Perceived abuse? How do you figure that? I'm OCD about my bike and take very good care of it. And my listed mod's bring it down? Please enlighten me...

3k? NADA claims its worth 3.8k. Plus I just put new chain, sprockets, oil etc on it. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4 Beta

And u can't compare a gun to a motorcycle. I have a 1911 45. That's a bigger caliber gun, in which I am very proficient with. Does that mean it makes my "cock HUGE" too? "If you didnt think you were honestly making a possible mistake, then why the hell ask us what we think?" - what I thought? That I would get some feedback that wasn't all extremely negative and one sided. Is the R1 a bike I can get myself in trouble with, sure it is...but hell that's true for any bike. This is turning into an "OMG that bike is way too fast for you" speech. As for how fast it truly is...who says I'm going to try and do 180 in it? Hell I've never had my current bike to its top speed of roughly 120-130.

No one's ever made fun of me bec I ride a 650....

So now I have the mentality of a 19/20 year old? Are you kidding me? Your only 27, I'll be 27 in about a month.

How much you willing to offer $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ NADA claims its worth 3,8k i believe and it has HID's, custom blue LED's installed with a 12v distro block that will handle 4-5 more add-on's lol. At any rate...I'm not going to go out and do wheelies or do 160MPH. If I do end up buying the R1 and I feel it's way way way way too much for me, I'd sell it. Would it be a waste of $$? Yes but I guess I'll learn my lesson. I'm pretty confident that I have good throttle control and wont push it too far, baby steps lol

its not totally about the speed, do it want a faster bike than the sv650? Yes, but the next bike I buy i want it to last me a good long while - as in I dont think I'll ever buy another bike, at least not for a very long time. Could I be skipping a step? As far as going from 2 extreme's...yes..but for the money I dont think I could get a nicer bike. Unless I were to go the route of getting a chromed out Harley - which I refuse to ever own one of those!

I gotcha - I'm 26 ging on 27 I already called my ins company, I straight up gave them the VIN. Would be roughly $30-40 month more than the SV. My friend "baggyp" is going to let me ride it, but just got his forks re-built and is waiting so he can get the suspension set up properly. As far as comfort thou I can always get the seat modified by the greatdaytoride guy. Using the http://cycle-ergo.com/ looks like the only difference is the seat angle of the R1 is 38 degree's vs the sv is 36 degree's and also get bar risers potentially to assist with that. Beyond that thou - the bike would need NOTHING (sides tires eventually and oil change right now) as far as I can tell. I am bringing my friend w me when i go look @ it so I can get his take on it. Once I figure out if I truly want the bike the only hurdle I have to jump is to see if the bank will give me a 6.5-7k loan for 60 months lol. I work for them and my credit score is in the 770's - but who knows.

One of my friends (that i highly respect his judgment) went from an sv1000 to an R1 and swears the R1 rides better in every aspect and is more comfortable etc. The only reason I guess why I am stuck on the R1 is bec the guy is asking 7k for a 2007 and it only has 3,900 miles! All it appears to need is new tires and an oil change. I have yet to find one this nice for that price. I get what your saying though.

I feel as if thou I am starting to outgrow the SV. Anything above a 500cc IMO for street is fast enough. But I do know that I want a nicer bike w/a smidge more power. Granted the R1 has like 40%+ more HP/TQ lol. If I wait till after I get a house...financially i think it will be much harder to afford. I can buy a bike now and have it mostly paid off in a years time. I might just keep the SV and give it to my gf & have her pay me like 2k for it - even thou it's worth more than that lol Shes going to go thru the MSF course. decisions decisions.

I've had my bike for almost two years and have rode it 1 and a half riding seasons. I put 5k on it last year and am set to put way more than that thus season. I ride it everywhere. I am planning on buying a house after the 1st of the year and was considering buying a newer bike before that time frame. I found a very good deal on an 07 R1 w/ 3,9xx mi http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/101916-fs-2007-yamaha-r1/ Being that said I'm aware my current bike is more of a "sport touring" and the R1 is more of a well...blazing rocket. I'm not really wanting to haul some serious ass, but at the same time I want a fast, dependable bike. Also the next bike I buy I will have it till the wheels fall off & I want it to be a nice one. What are everybody's thoughts????

laughing their asses off is probably what they were doing, that and taking pictures lol

I never really thought that far into it haha

shut it guard rail lol
