2006 R1 - Limited Edition 50th Anniversary 6,000km pristine condition

[nigele]

Yeah there is an LC and LE model but they both came in limited edition. The LE came with Ohlins and all the works but at a very very big price tag of I believe over $30+k!! - Alot for a bike. This is the LC model with all standard R1 bits but the paint job. But what a bike!!!

This one was bought new from Red Baron and I dont believe it was an Aussie import as suggested unless they meant they all come from Aussie into NZ but then you would say that I suppose.

And thanks to everyone for the comments re the bike...it is painful to hear all these comments about how good it looks - very sad time for to let it go but anyone who buys it will get an awesome bike that stands out from others.

Cheers guys

Untrue!

Check this one on Ebay if you don't believe me:

The LE shouldn't be confused with the 50th anniversary paintjob (though they were both available on the same bike).

The LE in yellow was only in the states. Aussie/NZ spec LE bikes are only black.
Beautiful bike, Nigele, good luck with the sale

Hi, I am selling as I am really struggling with my left wrist and only able to ride for around 30 minutes before I get pins and needles and numbness running up my arm.

Its probably the wrong time of year to sell the bike with all this great Kiwi weather but someone who knows this is a rare opportunity and thinks about the sweet summer days around the corner will buy and appreciate.

Thanks for the comments

Hey mate, have you consindered LSL offset match clipons, or helibars, or convertibars? Changing the height and/or angle of them might be just what you need to be able to keep your ride Worth mentioning anyhoo

Yeah, I looked at risers etc...but I am getting pains on virtually any bike I ride. From tourer to sports tourer. But thanks for the suggestion I really appreciate that. Cheers
