No nothing died on me. I just decided to sell one of my motorcycles. I have had 3 shoulder surgeries and won’t be able to ride any time soon. Plus with having a daughter I thought I might try to stay alive for her.

So off goes my 2001 R1. It’s going to suck when I see it leave, but I still have my other motorcycle a 2004 Road Star Warrior. It’s more of a cruiser and will be a lot easier on my shoulder when I can start ridding again.

 

pffff i was going to come here and give my condolences.


but damn, sad to see such a awesome bike go bye bye.

 

She looks sexy.



You could post her in the pretty girls thread.....

 

sucks....Im about to part with my 00 ZX7-R myself, I feel your pain

 

I want a motorcycle...

 

nice lookin machine....

 

I want to get one one day

 

Gotta get rid of those 207's and get some Metzlers! ;-) Great looking bike. I'm sorry you've got to say goodbye!

 

sorry to hear that. but at least your daughter will know her father!

 

 

so uh.... how much?

 

Bike Talk goes in the Car Talk forum now...

 

Nice looking bike.

How's the shoulder by the way?

 

I wish I knew how to ride. That bike looks awesome.

 

Go learn.

 

Well they are going for $5500 to $6500 and I am going to put ity in the trader for $5600

But if anyone on here wants it I will let it go for $5000.

Here is what they are going for in my area

2001 Yamaha R1

 

What a nice bike...

Sucks you have to sell it, at least you're doing it for the right reasons

 

i miss my 03 I know how it feels........

 

LMAO ... don't pollute the minds of some minor here dude .....

 

I feel ya. I sold my '07 CBR600RR a couple of weeks ago. I'm down to one; my beloved '07 GSX-R600. I'm holding on to this one, though.

Heal up quickly and get back on two wheels.

 

sorry to hear, i sold my bike and stopped riding for the wifey and 2 young kids. recently had surgery on my shoulder as well, so i can empathize. get well soon, and enjoy your pain...err, physical therapy.

 

Between myy uncle getting killed on a motorcycle in 1986 on his 20th birthday when he hit a tree at 70mph and my wife I don't think I will ever learn. My brother bought a bike though but he does not ride much. He took the class and keeps the bike in his garage most of the time. He told me he did not want my uncles death to stop him from at least trying to ride.

 

That is a beauty for being a 2001. Very nice!

 

I used to ride a lot on the streets then just started doing track days. Took the R1 to Laguna a couple of times, but I ended up just buying a track bike. It was Yamaha R6. That thing could could around the track so damn fast for a 600.
