Well, it's obvious that you have no taste what so ever. I mean just look at you sig :D

[MattB]

Nice! The paint scheme reminds me of the old Yamaha RZ350's from years ago. Any idea on how much more the LE is over the standard R1?

[joffer00]

looks fucking bad ass but i am not a fan of the new rims they put on it. but awesome colors scheme and im sure its only faster thanm the last. Its propbably the fake computer generated copy given off by the maunfacturer isn't it, but hey no reason to hate its still bad ass. and i am sure that is the way it will look in person except you know for it will have a shadow

Go read the other thread that had the black R1 in it. Bottlerocket claimed that it was a fake because the stand didn't say Yamaha on it.

Yes I was kidding :rolleyes:

yeah, i did claim it was fake. how hard would it be for someone to take a raven, put some ohlins and marchesinis on it, take a nice HQ pic Yamaha style and "leak" it? its just in EVERY pic I have ever seen on yamaha's website, they use their stands, why stop now? and btw, that is a yamaha stand, the one on the other pic wasnt

[BottleRocket]

Oh damn, just checked out R1-Forum.com, looks like that color scheme ISNT real. Not the yellow one, but the one I said was fake. This year they will keep the Raven, Blue, ditch the red and add the yellow.

Ok, so the limited production models have exactly what I said they had on them.
If you read my post from the other thread, I said I'M GUESSING <--meaning I don't know, about the color schemes.
You were arguing that it wouldn't have all the fancy crap on it.

I give up. Going out to ride now. Goodnight!

[BottleRocket]

So now Yamaha can have all that fancy shit on their SuperStock bikes? good play by them
