Ultimate Yamaha R1 + complete package

[Nonbeliever]

I'd say it was either his first bike or he is seriously gay.

Haters unite, not my idea of the ultimate R1 either but the guy was just putting his bike up for sale, the thread wasn't titled "is this the ultimate R1". If you don't like it don't buy it. Bit like seeing a for sale sign on a house, ringing on the doorbell telling them you don't like the colour of their house and its not worth what they're asking.

No, it was advertised as the ultimate R1 + - complete package.

It was also claimed to better than any other bike on this forum.

It was originally pointed out that these claims were bullshit, and the price was a little steep for mods that were truthfully only to appeal to one person's aesthetic tastes, rather than any improvement in handling or performance. Then the OP pitched a hissy fit.

It's all been rather amusing.

+1. And I'd have no problem saying in face what I say online. If someone makes certain claims that you don't agree with it doesn't mean you're an arsehole.

You're probably right, the same thing that turns normal decent people into aggressive morons behind the wheel of a car or handlebars of a bike turns otherwise decent folk into overly opinionated arseholes when they get in front of a keyboard, putting their views across and saying things in a way they would never do in a face to face conversation.

So what you're saying is that, in your posted opinion, we shouldn't have an opinion and post it?

I'm sure I'm just as guilty as the next person.

Acknowledgement of your own hypocrisy isn't mitgation of it.

So, no bidders then?.

What was said before. Put it back to standard as possible - sell the goodies separately.
You could get $10K for the bike, and $7K for the goodies (if they are worth 15K).

Not my taste of bike - and easily worth 15K for the person who's taste it is...... but that could just be the current owner....who knows.

I just sold my 2008 ZX10 with over $13k worth of accessories blah blahs...for $12,500.
You're right in saying the R1 owner could/should take it back to stock as the 'extras' don't make it 'worth' much more...at all.
Things are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for them eh

No just saying there's no need to slag off someones choice of bike if your not even remotely interested in buying it, post was an advert - not hey what do you all think of my bike. If you saw it with a for sale sign on at the servo would you all tap him on the shoulder and tell him what a POS you thought it was? Its only the internet so I guess its Ok to be an asshole.

Can you please link the posts where someone calls his bike a pos, or slags off his choice of bike. Some people have questioned the price, some have questioned the 'bling', but no one has called it a piece of shit or slagged it off directly.
