Sold my 954 last week. Picked this up in Ohio last night. Was a long ride in the rain but well worth it.  
2006 Yamaha R1 Anniversary Edition  
4k miles and the only Mods I know for sure are the turn signals (flushmounts up front and mini-stalk rear), powercommander, and tank pad.

bike looks good? a power commander with no mods? might want to check to see if there is at least a k&n drop in. very rare that ppl put a PC on a bike with no mods.

Thanks everyone.

Ya, i’m sure the orignal owner had atleast slipon’s on it. I’ll eventually check to see what else might be done.

Nice bike. I got to ride an 05 R1 and it looks very similar (same maybe?) to yours. It is awesome. Such a lovely power:weight ratio that even with my fat ass it wanted to go.
