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

[Qkchk:Me]

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


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) And no, I did not buy this to match Custard's bike either so




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

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.

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

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

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

[Coyote]

Very very nice bike

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....
