Can anyone explain why this R1 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-352149129.htm) is worth over 30k? All I see is a paintjob and an aftermarket exhaust? A stock standard 2010 example (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-352149129.htm) from the same dealer is worth 23k.

Am I missing something? White Trash?

What the fuck... usually only $2k extra for Rossi paint scheme and even that is over priced.

The funny thing is most of these bikes sit on the showroom floor for ages and end up being sold at less than the price of the standard model.

Under the agreement VR has with Yamaha, they are not allowed to sell them after June 2011, theoretically............so I would've thought they'd be priced to sell....they are a nice bike, and do attract attention, but $31K is ridiculous

rwh
6th February 2011, 00:24
The thing that puzzles me is that surely Rossi doesn't race an R1. Don't they have a superbike rider whose name should be on it?

Though I guess the fact that I don't know who it is might be the reason ...

Am I missing something? White Trash?

Possibly, my lopsided friend.

Firstly, it's not just a Fiat rep, it's a Factory Rossi rep. There are 7 in the country, one for each of his world championships, and obviously there'll never be another one offered.

The Yamaha pricing on them is $27,000, we've added a full Graves GP system at a cost of $4K.

See it now?

Also bear in mind that the normal price for a '10-'11 R1 is $24,500 + ORC. It's not that much of a premium over the stocker. I reckon it's fucking gorgeous but would never be seen dead riding it.

As for selling for less than the stock model, Gareth, I seriously doubt it mate. Stew doesn't actually want to sell it, part of the reason for the $31K tag ;)

I like the fact that people are looking at our bikes though, cheers guys :D

Really? Over rated?

Cast your mind back to 2009. A championship rookie, in the development year of a brand new model and indeed concept, won said world championship and set the most pole positions on an R1.

Locally, a Wanganui rookie this year took the feature race against the best and most experienced street racers NZ has to offer. He's currently running with a(and beating) the best on the least modified bike in the field in our NZSBK champs. Still got stock suspension FFS.

Over priced? Quite possibly. Over rated? I very much doubt it.

well, if it sells or not at 31k will determine if it's overpriced.
overrated as in the hype that surrounded the bike when it first came out. A very good bike (yes Ive done alot of kms on one) and I do like alot of things about the bike, but I think it's fallen short of the expectations.
But you do make good points, especially the NZ case.
As far as Spies is concerned, well lets be honest a wsbk spec machine is a far cry from what we see in showrooms and on our roads, plus spies was the only one that did any good. It's not like the top 5 wsbk spots were filled with r1's.
And as far as the Rossi edition is concerned, I wonder how long it'll be before we start seeing Rossi 1198's come out?

Fuckin BINGO. Personaly, if I owned an 09-11 R1 I'd happily pay 4K for the Graves as it's the sexiest system available and gets rid of the horrible underseat exhausts. Rear shock stays cooler and you save a shedload of weight plus gain the most unique exhaust note you're likely to hear.

Interestingly though, a customer was in the shop a week ago and mentioned that he was really impressed with the quality of pics on that very bike. That being said he may have simply wanted to interfere with her and I can hardly blame him.

I'm not a fan of the current R1 at all. But that one is a collectors bike methinks.

Even taking transport costs and being full titanium into account that exhaust has quite a mark up on it.

Cheers for the reply Jimmy. As far as I'm concerned something is only worth what someone wants to pay for, and if someone fronts up 31 large then good on them. I understand it's a ltd edition etc etc but it's the first Japanese litre bike I can think of that I've seen over 30k. (maybe with the exception of the 1000RR ABS although I think that was just on 30.)

I think it'd be pretty hard to fuck up the zorst note on the big bang R1, Robertydog's Akra's sound legendary and Arrows sound outstanding too but I think the Grave's shortie looks the best so... Whatever jingle's ya jangle I suppose as long as you can justify the cost in your own mind.

But that was essentially a standard bike, where the Rossi rep is something different. Seven in the country! Three of those will be fucked in the not too distant future, two will be sold overseas. In a decade you could have one of two completely original NZ new bikes. It aint much of an investment if you're looking for financial gains, but it'll be something special to talk about.

And it doesn't have anything mechanical you wont be able to source

I love the big bang R1, but I would rather just have one in the black or white scheme. Never been interested in these replica bikes, although I do respect that they are collector bikes (or are they really) and if someone wants one then they will spend $31k. I also prefer the undertail pipes on them as the rear fairing is not designed to be open like that and looks a tad odd. Granted as WT says, it DOES save weight and remove heat from under bike and around rear shock.

Problem is that you have somehoew managed to make it even more ugly (which I thought was impossible to do).
Good to get rid of the hideous and bulky underseat silencers, but now there is a great big void there that looks plain weird... How is it that Yamaha have somehow managed to make each successive generation of the R1 uglier than the previous?

Surely when you have a replica that's valued because of it's rarity and originality, any modification devalues that?

If you're going to customise a bike, better just do it to the ordinary one, IMHO.

Not that I'm in the market for a replica - if Fiat want their advertising all over my bike, they can pay me, not the other way about.

$4,000 for an exhaust is ridiculous. I don't know why anyone would pay that much for an exhaust on a road bike.

I didn't pay for it, but the exhaust system on my bike reputedly cost $6,000.

A full system for my S4R was $7,000. It was $3,200 just for the slip-ons.
(I didn't have to pay for them either...)

That $4,000 is starting to look like a bargain.


After thunk: Yamaha have sort of missed the bus with that R1, Rossi rides a Ducati, and Fiat went with him. Yamaha don't currently have a sponsor.

True enough, and IMO if you take a replica and do some custom mods to it, it's no longer a replica.

A bit like the difference between a 65 'vette with matching numbers and original radio, vs one with a crate engine and an mp3 player.

Both are cool, but only 1 is still the real deal.

Again, only my opinion, but I think you'd find the market value would agree with me.

Chaged the price now if anyone's actually interested.

$25,289 + ORC with a free set of GYTR carbon pipes (underseat mounting), or add $4000 for the Graves GP exhaust which is currently fitted to the bike.

Can't complain about that pricing......

Oh don't worry, somebody will ....

I agree its FERY FERY Steep.. I saw a New GSXR1000K9 in Bleck at Holeshot for $17995.

And I really don't think there is $14k difference in those to bikes...

Crazy Steve.

The R1 is a lot cheaper than soem of the second-hand Harleys on Trademe .. and will be better built and go faster ...

It's cheaper than this Guzzi

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-353955742.htm

Compares well with this BMW

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-345050241.htm

Ot this Kawasaki Z10R

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-334337094.htm

Or this Honda VFR1200

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-295913589.htm

The price doesn't seem that outrageos .. even at the original $31K

Which lets not forget is a ltd edition very rare factory race bike. Yeah that's comparable...

Which lets not forget is a Euro bike with more special bits on it then any Japanese litre bike. Yeah that's comparable...


Ot this Kawasaki Z10R

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-334337094.htm


Which is a bike 2yrs newer for considerably less money. Yeah that's comparable...


Or this Honda VFR1200

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-295913589.htm

Which isn't in the same class as the R1. Might as well pull up a link to a GL1800 at over $50,000. Yeah that's comparable...

Compared to every other 2009 Japanese litre bike, yes it does.

Stew doesn't actually want to sell it, part of the reason for the $31K tag ;)

Looks great in the show room, Then when you buy it they go oh shit it needs a number plate and stick one of those ugly number plate holders on it and it is no longer the nice bike that you purchased :(

They've got a tail tidy for the plate on that one.
