I heard that Yamaha was going to produce a YZFR1LE made in limited numbers I had to have one. I've always liked R1's because they were the closest thing to a Ducati 916 in looks that a Japanese manufacturer made. I my opinion the Ducati 916 is the prettiest bike ever made although the 1198 Duc is very very nice too.So I called my buddy Scott at Berkley Yamaha and told him to hold one for me but he wasn't sure what they were.
I get most my information from the Internet so when Yamaha said they were going to make the YZFR1LE dealers had no idea until days later and that's when I got the call "Oh you want one of those". It's a sweet bike and the great part is you don't see one everyday. I've won some tickets to some really hard to get in to MotoGP dinners with pics of the bike. Here's one and I hope to
keep getting more.I like this bike but it's a lot faster bike than I am a rider. I prefer twins. I loved my RC51 and my Superhawk because there easy to ride and you don't have be so perfect as with the R1. I don't think I've taken this bike anywhere near it's limits but it's a lot of fun anyway. I'm getting old. Only a few heydays left I'm affraid.
