With my 06 Yamaha OOC, I've been trying to find an 07/08 R1 - and it is quite the pain in the arse.
- The motorcycle forums seem to be full of wankers. I had 2 06 units lined up, but now both sellers don't return my calls. Others don't respond to questions about condition, etc... etc...
- I almost got scammed on Ebay
- No one from the dirt track community is responding to my calls and Emails
- Sal at Superbikes has some, but his reputation seems a little low here
Brandon is not ready to make a Suzuki pan, and I'm not financially ready to swap to that unit yet. So Suzuki is out...
The Honda sure looks good, but it seems the ECU issues are too much. I found one with 200 miles! at something like $1,500.
Sooo... I've written George inquiring about a 07/08 R1. We'll see what he says.
Have you guys ever gotten so mentally consumed with something that it effects everything else (like work)?
There! that venting helped. Maybe I can go a couple more days before walking away.
