So I just bought a 2007 R1. Must say it handles amazing, power is good, but really cant test it out till 600 miles are on it. Really shocked because im a suzuki guy but love this new yamaha. :tup: ---

Gone up since the old 3.9-4.9% days… Today it is 8.9% for 24mo… Best thing to do, IMO, if you’re going to buy new with credit is sign up for their card, get the 0 down, 0 payments, 0 interest for 6mo. In 6mo sign up for a credit card that offers 0% interest for 12mo on new balanace transfers for signing up. You can keep doing this and pay 0% interest til you pay it off in 2-5 years… ---

Congrats. The 07’s are so nice. Haven’t gotten to try one of those out yet. Wish I still had my bike so bad right now. LOL @ 600 miles though. MOTOMAN, and 50 miles FTW for me… (but lets not start please, you do what you think is right its your bike). Enjoy and ride safe man. Damn that fuggin bug keeps trying to bite me. ---

[quote=“Willybeen,post:11,topic:31031"”] so when do u wanna head up to NYIRP and see how close you can get to that time? [/quote] after the 600 mile break in period would be good for me. im guessing 10.50-80’s because i will have a tough time launching good, and my time will be slower than the guy who test rode it to get the time of 9.93. he’s about 160lbs, and im 215. ---
