2005 Yamaha YZF-R1 review from United States of America
"Way more than most people could handle!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely nothing!!!
General comments?
Unbelievable dream to ride. This bike is such a head turner, especially in the "shift red" color that I got.
I bought the bike brand new in 2005, usually I would never buy a brand new anything, but when this body style came out, I had to have it. I got the bike at a really good price here in Michigan after shopping around in Ohio and Chicago.
This is by far the best looking bike out right now. It smokes everyone in its class, yes, even a Ducati. I could have bought anything and I chose this bike. I went from a 94 Katana 750 to this, I really wish I would have kept that as well. The bike was way too comfy.
