YZF-R1 LE
MSRP $14,500
The Yamaha YZF-R1 LE not only gives you much of Valentino Rossi's Championship technology, but also his championship look and style. The R1 us the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. The result? Outrageous torque and raw, high rpm power providing incredibley smooth power delivery out of the corners. Whike the bold Fiat Yamaha team graphics provide incredibly smooth style.

I absolutly love my Limited Edition R1, being my second motorcycle after a 1973 Kawasaki Z1, the R1 screams down the road but feels very stable even if that feels a bit heavy at times. The ergonomics should fit most people and the pegs have 2 adjustable positions. No gripes about the suspension or handling as its performed well even when I push it hard in the corners and bumps are absorbed amazingly making it more fun to ride. The cockpit offers great features which aren't overwhelming or distracting which makes it well balanced, its also very reliable as I havn't noticed a change at all since I rode it away from the dealership and shows no signs of that changing.

As for the value, well, its on the pricy side. There's no way to sugar coat that but in my mind its worth it to shell out every penny for a motorcycle as incredible as this, just going down the road will turn the heads of every single person in visible range of it. Police have stopped me just to say how "gorgeous" it is, I can walk out of a store and a crowd of people will just be staring and walking around it, saying the Limited Edition R1 is eye catching is a massive understatement. The attention this motorcycle will get you is just beyond belief which I really love that attention of being envied, to ride down any street and just know you have the best and best looking motorcycle on the road is an awesome feeling.
