2012 yamaha R1 in the flesh

It’s needed on this forum

Proper tidy looking bike that is. Was oggling it through the window last night with my hand down my pants. It’s the headlights that do it for me…

don’t like R1’s. they scream “weekend warrior” to me too much

I’m going to head down there tomorrow to ogle this.

If I had a money I’d rather buy the new Blade.

I have always loved the R1, but it was very over priced, oh and herr Schmidt - best description of LB ever!!

well first and formost its a fkin brill bike what ever but those stupid after thought indiecators need to go, and drop the price down then i might be instrested but second thoughts insurance is a right ass right now too plus the law target you as easy pickings for topping up the coffers etc theres still the pink frame first ones<2009> hanging about in the show rooms so there not selling so make an offer fk would i pay list price be cocky and offer 9k cash if you got it l o l

oh yeah the mirrors and mirror arms are out of the parts for all parts bin EVEN HONDA HAVE SORTED THE MIRRORS ON THE 2012 FIREBLADE NOW

p.s i like looking at my bike more even better with me on it in the mirror:D

+++++++++++++1 and you would have some change for some sparkly bits!!!

someone point out the difference to the 2011 model please

Traction control

Different fairing design

Different colour scheme

Different top yoke

And other bits
