Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 18, 2018 Share My old man sold his immaculate one about 6 years ago for R80k Many regrets now.Damn!!! They tend to change hands at around the R250k mark. If you can even find one.Know of one standing in an old ladies garage in the Cape. Has 4500KM on it, she wont sell as it has sentimental value apparently........

Sidersky Posted November 19, 2018 Share As mentioned previously I’m not very knowledgeable on motorbikes. Had coffee with a mate at the Yamaha building and spotted this. What do you guys think? Would this make a decent daily commuter? Not too much for a newbie to handle? Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymann Posted November 19, 2018 Share Commuting on an R1 will be like commuting on a Dimond or a P5x TT Bike. It's doable, but eventually you are going to realise they weren't designed for that! Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted November 19, 2018 Share Surprisingly, there were a few guys back then who insisted they wanted R's to commute on. In the end we actually recommended the R1 over the R6 - purely because the R6 has a taller first gear so if you are not concentrating you end up stalling it. But yea, if you like boiled nuts, and aching wrists, commute on a superbike..... Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this make a decent daily commuter? Not too much for a newbie to handle?Had a friend who did this for about 3 months. Realized that he is always in 1st and 2nd. Went back to using is I20 because it was more fuel efficient. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain, sunshine, hail... doesn't matter. Not even a rain suit when it's wet. Hardcore m'f'er... Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Spokey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
