I'm interested to see if he actually likes it after thrashing an 09 R6 around.

I am more amazed at the used part, the liter part doesn't really surprise me.

The used one is really the best deal for me. I do prefer new, but just can't afford it right now. Just needs tires and removal of the stickers he put on it. The fact I don't have to buy an aftermarket exhaust is a HUGE plus.

I'm sure I'll be thrashing the R1 around on the streets before long. I don't think it'll ever see the track though. I might even sell my street R6 stuff and make it track only. But the thought of having two street-legal weapons excites me too. On the other hand, I could sell the street stuff and beef up the suspension on the R1.

This is assuming that this guy's legit. I'm getting pretty fuckin' excited right meow.

Both work, the r6 is a bit more extreme than the r1, like 1/3 instead of 1/4

Everyone wanted the HRC tubes back when I rode Honda, the Yami tubes were cheaper though.

I think the hrc setup requires the two peice style switch/throttle housing too.
