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.
