Hello Yamaha Owners. I am new to the bike scene, I just purchased my first bike which is the Yamaha R1. No, it would not have been my first choice, but funny story. I went to Colorado to help my best friend move. 3 weeks prior to the move, he had purchased HIS FIRST bike, the R1. He had never even sat on a bike in his life, Myself I had some experience. Get to the point, I tried teaching the kid how to ride, it just was not working out. I decided to purchase the bike from him, and the day after the agreement, I rode the bike from Denver, Colorado to Minneapolis, Minnesota.. It was the best yet worse experience yet... So here I am.

Hi Minnesotan

First bike R1, 900 miles by google maps still in one piece, sounds like frying pan vs fire to me

to the YOC. So you don't like the R1 or you just didn't see yourself getting one?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
