alexk R1

[alexk]

I saw this section, and I would like to share with you guys the information and some pics of my beloved R1.
I bought the bike in greece and when I moved here, I took it with me.

So...

My bike is an R1 2005 Yamaha blue.
The parts that are installed.

Ohlins rear shock YA-343
Ohlins front forks FG-327
Ohlins steering damper
BST carbon wheels
Braking front disc (full floating)
Braking rear disc
Brembo extreme racing carbon brake pads
HEL brake lines
TSS slipper clutch
YEC AIS kit
YEC oil catcher tank
K&N air filter
Termignoni titanium racing exhaust (slip-ons and Y pipe)
AFAM (520 racing chain) (sprockets 15-42)
Valtermoto weights
Carbon fiber rear hugger and various parts
Yamaha rear seat

I am forgetting some small details now.

I didn't focus in the engine tuning, but the handling, braking and weight reduction.
I dynoed many times and the max horsepower is 157 on the rear wheel.

And some pictures

Very nice Alex, some good choices for addons there! I'm debating about a slipper clutch but the next move is to try racetecs to replace my corsa IIIs...
:thumbs:

Very nice. I remember seeing a few bikes with a similarly placed numberplate when out on the Continent last year - very discreet! ;)

[SMD]

Should be on the track not the road!:thumbs:

[Curly]

stunning R1 you've got some great kit with it:thumbs:
do like the new 09 R1

[shimmy]

look stunning Alex

R1 is my favourite but i'm not a biker:bigcry:

[alexk]

Τhank you guys.
I mainly use it on the racetrack.
Not often lately, switzerland has no racetracks...
it's waiting on the parking, behind the csl.

[Bealo]

Very nice Alexk....

Looks very mean and purposeful, i like it... :thumbs:

[dave1]

sweet,im getting an 09 r1 end of the year have you heard one yet? awesome:thumbs:

[Mark CSL]

I do like the R1 it looks quick standing still :thumbs:

[alexk]

Mates, they stole my R1 today :bigcry:

It was sitting behind the CSL, in underground parking.
Some feckers took it away from me.

I am very sad.-

Bye R1

[Bealo]

No way Alex.... that fuckin sucks, so sorry to hear that.

[J.D.]

Gutting. Shoot-em if they find them.

[Mark CSL]

Not good Alex good job the never took the CSL
I hope it was insured :whistle:

[jonv]

Gutted mate, I hope you are fully insured!!

[alexk]

Unfortunately not.
Greek plates abroad... no such thing as theft insurance.
30k euros gone

[glendog74]

Sorry to hear this Alex - hard luck mate :banghead: :goodman:

[AlexGTT]

Alex, absolutely gutted for you mate! Have you had any help from Swiss Police? Surely there could have been some sort of insurance cover available? :bigcry:

Make sure you keep a good eye on the CSL dude.

[alexk]

Thanks for your support guys.
The Swiss police have been very professional and helpful. I don't have any complain about them.

Alex, I was thinking to switch to swiss plates this winter, so as I can have full insurance... but the thieves were faster than me.

[DazBlackCSL]

Mate thats proper shit ... gutted for you... hope there is a slim chance that you might get it back...

We will beer you to the full in a few weeks ;-)

After a test ride today, I think the next 2 wheel baby is going to be an Aprilia RSV4 factory :whistle:

[Curly]

Quicker than the R1 more nimble?

It's a 2008 Yamaha R1 with a few racing bits.
