i got my bike used so i didn't pay much for it,
06 R1 $11,399 (Raven) $11,299 Team Yamaha Blue/White MSRP
05 R1 $11,099 (Raven) $10,999 (Blue) MSRP
did they change anything between 05 and 06, nope but the price went up. so if you can get an 06 for 9,499 for a blue one and 9,599 for Raven new from a dealer that would be a trick. yamaha doesn't work with you much on the super sport bikes because they don't have to. and no i don't pay that for a car, i work at a dealer so i pay less then you could even get close to because there not doing the GMS for everybody anymore
