Hey there names Phil and today i aquired this beaut.
Found you guys searching for R1 forums on google.
this is an 06 Lava Red with just over 21k on the clock. Only my second bike after passing my test last year at the grand age of 40 lol traded in my good ol Hornet 900 which taught me a bit about riding but wanted something a little more exciting so opted for this little beaut.
Welcome in Phil, beautiful bike and colour. I had one back in 2004 and did over 65,000 miles on it in just under three years, supurb engine
This is a friendly forum with loads of banter so don't be shy and ask any questions you want, someone will have been there done that and got the t shirt to boot.

make sure the valves have all been checked in the service history and the both TPS have been changed under warranty
Ok how will i know if its a proper 06 or just registered in 06?
will definitely check the history when i pick it up and what are TPS? i am buying it from a yamaha dealer so hopefully if its a warranty job should have been done?
Oh and thanks for the welcome, cant wait until the weekend to pick her up. I know i need to take it steady 1st as its a completely deifferent beast to my good ol trusty hornet

Pretty sure the '06 was the red and silver like yours instead of the red and black('04/'05)
And I think the fork tubes are more gold in colour

The dealer did say this was a one off colour scheme only made for 2006? so maybe it is an official 06 bike?
