Default Too Nice To Ride? 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 LE

As I said earlier in my posting of the Graves Racing Yamaha R1 LE... these are some of the best looking bikes out there. Ever since I saw them in the first brochure back in the day... like it was a long time ago but I remember when and where I saw it.

Ohiomike has just come across a hot LE that has all sorts of goodies all over it. Being a deal that was too good to pass up he gave it a great home. Nice to see someone taking care of it.

Here is a fat list of mods that came included on this particular bike:
  • Full Termi TI exhaust.
  • All yamaha GytR plus after market Carbon fiber Parts.
  • PC3 USB plus Map 172Hp and 87Tq
  • 520 gold Chain kit and 2 up in the Back.
  • Piaa Bulbs and Integrated rear blinker lights, Flush Front.
  • Colapsable levors. Never seen these before.
  • Wave Rotors. All Three.
  • Braided Lines I have to install.
  • Titanium BOLTS Every where
  • Frame sliders and rear stands.

And that's it for now. Maybe when the snow melts down we'll get some more pictures of it out in the wild. Thanks for the pics Mike.

Here is a page with the full specs of this limited edition R1 LE. As far as I know they are one of the only models of Yamaha motorcycles to be given a production serial number.

I need to get some better pictures of my local friends matching Roberts Arai Helmet...

Wow. I didn't realize they came with the Öhlins fork and shock.
I've seen those collapsible levers before. Hopefully he won't need them!

Yeah they come equipped with everything you would need from the factory. They are really rare to see. I'm going to be buying a new front brake master cylinder and I'll be picking up the collapsible ones. It's a little extra insurance.
