Yamaha Other description

Up for sale is the baddest R1 on the planet. It has been meticulously and painstakingly built over the past 3.5 yrs. I have some good connections in aftermarket industry and had to pull all the strings to get this bike built right; this setup cannot be replicated! I have paid dearly for this level of exclusivity. Of all the turbod or SCd toys I have owned this is the only 1 that has and still does scare the daylights outta me. Ive finally dialed in the suspension and trail so that there is zero wheelspin and the bike doesnt want to stand up unless blantantly enticed. Its wicked fast - 1 ride and youll be hooked! A true masterpiece: one-of-a-kind Raven R1! Insanity in the flesh.... more than $30k invested without adding the labor and fabrication. The price is fantastic $11500....

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place.  Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series.  Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing).  The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
