100 yen approximately 1 usd.
2004 red yamaha r1 starts at 650,000 yen
2006 black yamaha r1 starts at 790,000 yen

I am thinking about bidding on these, are they decently priced or kinda overpriced compared to what you guys get in the US? I was wondering if I shud go for an R6 and use the money saved from getting an R1 into getting a TV.

I love the R1's in black, they are HOT bikes. Only Yamaha I like is the R1

 

if your exchange rate is right, they're priced about the same as they are in the US for used R1's.

 

too bad its a grip of money and a pain in the **** to ride in japan

 

I say Yay, because I've owned two, 98 and my current 05. They're one helluva bike.

I've never been to Japan, but from the videos I see (of urban areas) it looks like it would be pretty scary.

 

Understood. I don't live in the city though, I am out in the suburban areas. Everyone here owns a car and there are plenty of parking spaces.

Parking space would be the least of my concern in Japan. Usually, you can find parking for a bike almost anywhere.

I would think the R1 would be overkill in Japan. Especially, in the narrow streets there. Other than the highway, when would you need to the power of a liter bike? Personally, I would go with a more smaller, more manuverable bike like 400cc.

In Jamaica, bikes are limited to 600cc, because there are no roads that you can use the power of a liter bike. The roads are too small and curvy.

 

I just sold my '07 to my buddy and picked up an 08 r1. I love it.

 

Im about to pcs to japan, still cant decide if i should keep my sv650s or get a 600 before i go. Im thinking about upgrading because im not sure if the sv is gonna keep me happy for 2 more years, and ppl tell me bikes are more expensive over there.
