Qkchk's New Baby YZF-R1 50th Anniversary Edition

[Qkchk]

Okay after all the nagging about pics of the new beast, I got off me bum and got the bike out for some photos.....

Just excuse the Suzuki in the background (Custards Gixxer), it's just there so you can compare the quality build of the Yamaha :bleh:


This is a 2006 YZF - R1 in the 1970's classic race scheme. It is a limited edition only released for this year only........ hence the '50th Anniversary'. Has a label on the front above the headlights and a sticker on the fueltank to commemorate this. (Plus the retro colour scheme:wari:) And no, I did not buy this to match Custard's bike either so :finger:




BTW The bike is a bit dirty from riding in yesterdays downpours...........

[DemonWolf]

That sure is a beautiful bike... how does it compare with the hayabusa for riding?

[Back Fire]

They look better in blue.... nice bike though

Like riding on rails............ sometimes it doesnt even feel like there's a bike under me, it's so smooth.

[Motoracer]

Very tasty.. Me like. Me like it very much! :yes:

[Qkchk]

Yep, I would love to be a sheep. NOT.:stupid:

Everywhere you look there's a damn blue one, yes they do look good but I think it's time Yamaha got more creative.

[Maha]

Primo pic's big 'D'........ nice cropping in the front on pic, squeezing out the Gixxer.....:laugh: could always run with Peaches, custard and peaches go together rather well............:killingme

[Coyote]

Very very nice bike :2thumbsup

The YZFs look really nice in that colour scheme and surprisingly the YFZ quad looks damn good too

Atleast they didn't change their most common colour with glittery flames....

[orangeback]

[Qkchk]

how about the only SP in NZ, burnt blue ,
I was told by a Yamaha dealer that they are NOT being imported into NZ. I can see it but I cant beleive it.

[orangeback]

he got one out ove Oz, as a shop in Brisban had a cancled order , Yam NZ didnt order any so they missed out , by the time they tried they where all gone , now there only 25 in Oz:doobey:

[Qkchk]

I think the only difference between the LE (SP - called the LE in overseas markets) and the standard is the Ohlins suspension and the Italian wheels. No power change.

[boomer]

how about the only SP in NZ, burnt blue ,


Very Niiiice :D I like it. Is the frame/swingarm powder coated blue(burnt) too??

Ps.. Nice bike Qkchk :second: only to my Buwtiful Hondaaaaa :scooter:

[orangeback]

from what i belive the SP came in (yellow black like yours in the USA only )the rest ove the world got the dark blue SP, if you could get one , and then came the LE
but what would I no im a gisxr man

[Mental Trousers]

The 50th Anniversary paint job is the best ever. Be great if they left it as an option on all models.

[dss3]

So you are saying we SHOULD have gone through the flooding at Kaukapakapa last weekend cos Dawn was riding on an engine developed for marine use! Sweet.

Sorry Custard, some of us have jobs to do and don't get ACC for masturbation related injuries!!

[WRT]

You should have, I've heard that Suzuki are good at vehicles for tough conditons. The vitara's for example, or the jimnys, or the sj's.

[SixPackBack]

she dont get home to 5 :whistle: :sweatdrop

I wish:rockon:

[The_Dover]

Don't knock the SJ, you can fit a box of beers under the seat and they are easy to ride pissed!

yamahas 50th anversery model is all bullshit , the first 18 years of those 50 were spent making pencils ,pianos ,sewing machines and looms , the 50th aniversery model should have been a flash pencil with a sporty paint job

It was a fast pencil, would always leave black line on paper.

Nice Bike Qkchk, would be like riding a 250 after the busa, but with a hell of alot of power
