I looked at removing the DD pipe and replacing with Stock,Amazing Yamaha want over $300 for it! I found a brand new Stock R6 take off in our tech dept,Never used,matches up perfectly and is WAY lighter,Paid $30 so that will be the first addition,Got new Dunplops being put on Monday along with C/S kit etc.....

Looks like it was abused a little. I only say that because of the "burn-out" rear tire. I know nothing more than what I see. But hey, I like it, looks almost identical to mine (minus the rear tire situation :poke ). Including the D&D.

Ya,Abused is the word....Shame really as the bikes only done 15k!


The last owner came in looking for tires and he was wanting cheap tires so he could sell it,We settled on a grand so ive got plenty of room to invest :)

Ya a grand!

The bloke had bought it from his brother to help him out,He had a grand in it and was trying to buy tires from us and basically put some $$'s into it to fix it up,I Persuaded him not to and asked him what it owed him,He told me $1200 I offered $1000 cash there and then,He took it!

Funny really cos I hear of these get lucky deals every day,Rarely get em myself but this one looks to be a winner :)

Gonna get our Yamaha tech to service it next week,Check the valves etc,New tires going on Monday and I reckon 2/3 weeks worth of detail cleaning should change it a little....
