GOT MY R1 BACK

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I felt the same way when I picked my FZ1 out of storage about the same time you made this video. I'm like "I knew it was fast, but I don't remember it feeling THAT fast!" Lol. Felt so good ridding again. Same here, stored since November. NE Ohio Winters.

[@VroomVroomDana]

Awwwwwwwwwwww so good to see that blue and gold beast once again!

[@bingofish1204]

Hearing my engine after I spent weeks rebuilding was better than sex

[@TheAK47s]

+RevVin Dude it really is. Its crazy

[@Hpynos2010]

I still miss my blue '04, even though it had nowhere near the sheer grunt of my K6 G1K (which I still own BTW). But it was, and still is to me the BEST looking production literbike out of Japan, hands down. Sexy curves, underseat pipes (higher CG I know, but...*shrug*), and FOUR headlights! Loved almost hearing cagers' retinas sizzle when I hit the high beam switch lol. If I could afford a small fleet of bikes, a clean minter 2004-06 (with an '07-'08 engine transplant for a wee bit more midrange) would be right in there.

[@uBooldog]

It's a great bike! I also have like this one, just in another continent. I love it. Keep pushing!

[@dry509]

Does this still have a 2006 engine? I am shopping. Do you recommend a 2006? What gape end to the engine? Sounds great!

[@djatfullthrottle]

great to see you back up and running, i know the feeling...

[@cstephenson9223]

Congrats man, happy you got her back!! Beautiful bike too, I love that color! Nothin like being on a bike...... All your problems melt away when you fire that bad sounding machine up and go for a ride:) what's gonna be your next bike choice?

[@phatcyclist]

I pass by that shop on Sam Bass several times a week, do they have a showroom with accessories, or are they mostly sales and service?

[@TheAK47s]

+phatcyclist Its just service, consignment and sales

[@phatcyclist]

Good to know. I wanted to personally give you a thanks, because without your videos I wouldn't have ever found my way up to Central Texas Powersports. I just bought a bike from them less than two weeks ago, and they are a great dealership to work with.

[@TheAK47s]

+phatcyclist Thats awesome man! What did you buy? And yeah its gotta be the nicest dealership to deal with in Central Texas man. Theyre a fantastic group of guys and gals

[@phatcyclist]

A 2015 CB500F. It was still in the crate when I bought it, and it was built and ready to ride home the next day.

[@TheAK47s]

+phatcyclist Awesome dude! Hope youre having fun on it!

[@FreeWorldAllDay]

What did you do to the engine to make it more powerful or faster?

[@Surron_Dave]

Damn dude i'm surprised you rode in that. The wind was bad even here in Houston. Going back to SM?!

[@TheAK47s]

+SuperDave The wind was HORRENDOUS dude. Goodness there were some times that I would be blown into the opposite lanes

[@ShizzBeatsmusic]

Great videos, if possible what mic setup you have for vlogging

[@TheAK47s]

+Shizz Beats Just a mono microphone from ebay or amazon, and then the gopro mic adapter. My camera is mounted in the front of my helmet, and the mic is wired into the front of my cheek pad

[@ShizzBeatsmusic]

+TheAK47s true thanks I set my up like motonitsy and it's similar to use. I think I muffled mine from my freezeout mask. I'm using a Sony mic gonna try it without the mask lol. Appreciate it ride safe bro

[@DieHardSteelersFan88]

How did you do up that GP short exhaust?

[@ArthurSperotto]

Why are you selling it?! I know you kinda mentioned it in the video but I didn't really understand it.

[@TheAK47s]

+Arthur Sperotto Personal reasons really. Mainly money related

[@stevemack389sm]

what year is the motor and what year is ur frame cause you said you have a new motor in it?

[@TheAK47s]

+BIKES BLADES/GUN'S Everything is 2006. Got a 2006 motor

[@arealscorpio1]

What happened? What caused you to get a new engine?

[@RideWithRhett]

Nice color tastes ;) My R1 is white/blue with gold accents

[@banginpadr]

+Ride With Rhett i have this same bike. come check my videos, subscribe too. because i post videos every monday

[@martiner4051]

I can't wait to see the next bike *.* .

[@ashrafsururi2937]

hey just wanna ask. you're still okay with motonosity? cuz i think maybe you could do dual vlog with him. you know double r1 double the fun.

[@TechT1999]

Glad your back on the road bro. I thought that was your bike. lol...I pass that shop everyday. How r they over there? The had a zx 10 and black cbr over there the other day.

[@TheAK47s]

+TechT1999 nice!

[@TechT1999]

We gotta ride man before u sell her...8)

[@flute136]

why was it gone for that long? and did it used to have gold trimming?

[@TheAK47s]

+Meade Helios Had to find out what all was wrong, had to find an engine, had to buy and ship the engine, had to wait to get it into the shop, had to switch shops, had to get the work done, had to go pick it up. = 3months

[@flute136]

Ah so it was an engine replacement

[@maomaniarocks]

nice. i just got my first super sport. very excited

[@TheAK47s]

+maomaniarocks Congrats man!

[@tonietayborn4168]

I kno how ya feel. My 09 R1 been down since October 2nd n I jus got back runnin yesterday. Replaced the whole electrical system.

[@colton7608]

Tonie Tayborn what happen I got a 09 to

[@krisyoung4378]

why do some r1s sound like v twins while other sound like a typical liter bike

[@NOORYOUNIS]

09+ has crossplane crankshaft.

[@justinraines336]

Kris Young like this guy said the 09+ has completely different motor that sounds different

[@jakebennett15]

still have the ninja 636? or did you get rid of that for the r1?

[@TheAK47s]

+Jake Bennett I got rid of that a long long time ago. I sold that and my DRZ for my 2008 WR450 supermoto build. Sold that for this

[@jakebennett15]

+TheAK47s ohh ok. so you selling the r1 now or keeping it?

[@TheAK47s]

+Jake Bennett Selling it

[@jakebennett15]

+TheAK47s so what next my friend? great content by the way. been subbed I think closing in on 2 years and love the videos but for a while there were some I couldn't watch. still watch all the stuff though. keep up the good work bruh.

[@TheAK47s]

+Jake Bennett Thank you bud. Whats next is a secret. Lol. We'll see how everything progresses.

[@yzfbalis]

just because you blew up your engine so what, you have a new one whats the problem? please respond because i want to buy a 04-06 r1

[@TheAK47s]

Because the new motor I put in t was sketchy as hell and my car had 215k miles on it and I needed a new car

[@colton7608]

TheAK47s you said it was running smoother then ever haha what was sketchy

[@arch417powersports]

She sounds so good!

[@TheAK47s]

+archinuk417 One of the best sounding bikes in the world

[@seanviper99]

Lovely bike, can see how you missed it, why do most riders remove the mirrors, isn't it safer than taking your eyes off where your going and relying on shoulder checks all the time

[@DoubleT90T]

How much money did you throw into her for the engine?

[@TheAK47s]

+DoubleT90T I said it in the video bud

[@DoubleT90T]

Damn... That's alot. Hope you can recoup some of it when you sell her.

[@hanford_adventures]

+TheAK47s queue the music "You... You got what i neeeeedddddd"

[@Chaserpollard]

Good to see it

[@ClutchFirst]

What happened to it? If you're so happy to have it back, why is it going on Craigslist? :/

[@TheAK47s]

+CLUTCH1ST Because Im getting something else due to personal reasons

[@ClutchFirst]

+TheAK47s Fair enough. :)

[@dannyphantomvision]

yesterday you said march and you got it back? nice! how bout that wr450

[@TheAK47s]

+Danny PhantomVision The dealership I worked for was going to have it done in march. I took it somewhere else so I could have it installed before the engine guarantee ran out

[@Krusty-]

+TheAK47s so you dont work for the dealer anymore? i enjoyed your review videos

[@nick9006]

1st and cool when are you selling it if you are

[@TheAK47s]

+Nick Robbins Going up on craigslist tonight

[@yzfbalis]

i blew up a gixxer 600 k2 and i found a motor with low kilometers and its ok ,now i will only sell it because i want a 1000

[@eQui253]

[@TheAK47s]

+eQui253 I lost it when I was editing and actually saw what made the noise

[@TheJoePoeShow]

I'm in the austin area as well. I'd love to do a vlog/meetup with you some time.

[@TheAK47s]

+The Joe Poe Show Id be down for sure. When I get my next bike though. Selling this one and Im gunna be out of commission due to wisdom teeth surgery in a couple days

[@TheJoePoeShow]

Sounds like a plan dude. I'm relatively new to the motovlogging scene, so I'd love to get some pointers and hit some twisties. As far as wisdom teeth surgery goes, at least they give you some decent pills. haha

[@TheAK47s]

+The Joe Poe Show Yeah well see haha

[@yzfbalis]

why the hell do you want to sell it this is a masterpiece the nicest r1

[@HALFBREEDMUGEN]

[@yzfbalis]

sketchy?

[@TwistedIntentions79]

where was she

[@TheAK47s]

+time for some fpv action In the shop.

[@jaymed5228]

I love that bike dude. I used to have one. Mines was a 2005 raven edition but i sold it to get me a 2004 hayabusa but honestly i like more the R1. I regret the day that i sold my R1

[@chocolatetampon4492]

jonathan medina why do you like the r1 more? Ain't the busa a bit faster

[@jaymed5228]

Chocolate Tampon oh yes its alot!! faster trust me it is! But the R1 its more aggressive when it comes to the looks and the RPM’S its my favorite part the engine sound its so freaking beautiful. Im not going to lie to you i love the Busa because of its power and it also good looking. I upgraded to the Busa for one reason only and its because its a more comfortable bike for two riders cuz my girl love riding with me and ting is that we both tall and we didn’t fit well on the R1 but if I would have been single i would had still have the R1 💪

[@chocolatetampon4492]

jonathan medina nice man I've always wanted to try a busa, I have the 05 rn12 r1 and love it as well and I believe I can keep up with a busa I have a nice tune with micron full exhaust and power commander 3. Stupid fast and I actually think the r1 is really comfortable lol

[@jaymed5228]

Chocolate Tampon im 6’ tall and for my self the R1 was perfect. Yeah men from what i’ve read you got some good mods done to your bike you can be a competition for a busa for the first 4 gears but from 4th gear forward grab yourself tightly cuz the busa its gone to bypass you like a lightning strike there are ment for high speeds but it’s very rare for people to be racing so high on speed so you have enough to have fun. For my taste. I say the R1 is and its gone to be my favorite bike probably ill get me on other one but the 09 i love that one so badand the engine sound melts me. Definitely the bike its from on other world 😍

[@chocolatetampon4492]

jonathan medina that makes sense to me, I definitely think a busa would have me after 4th and 5th for sure, but I can't wait till I race one. I haven't lost to anything as of yet. And man I actually don't like the cross plane sound personally, sounds just odd to be me but I'd definitely need to ride a 09+ r1 and hope you get one soon my friend

[@yzfbalis]

do not sell it man just dont ,you changed the motor just to sell it?

[@laynenichol4860]

Can u answer?

[@TheAK47s]

+Layne Nichol I did

[@BattleField360]

fuck ya whataburger for the win!

[@TheAK47s]

+BattleField360 hell yeah, it was delicious too

[@BattleField360]

+TheAK47s lol .congratz on getting that beast of a machine back on the road man she doesnt look all that dirty

[@TheAK47s]

+BattleField360 She just needs a wipe down and a wash

[@kelpoyeet1036]

2nd Hii

[@brakes940]

Get a room smh. But yes getting on the bike is fun.

[@TheAK47s]

Get a life

[@user-xo1uy6rs6c]

+TheAK47s Why are you being rude AK?

[@WallaceBandeco]

#R6 on the way 4:28

[@TheHappyRiderX]

y put all that money and sell?

[@TheAK47s]

Because it's damn near impossible to sell a bike that needs major amounts of work done. If I put the money in to fix it, then I can sell it for more money and a lot faster.

[@TheHappyRiderX]

TheAK47s maybe your market is diff... that bike goes for around 7000$ Cad over here....Thats about 5000$US thats y was wondering

[@rahilhasan9095]

sitch off the bike in long traffic stops man

[@gggg7213]

It look it's a r6

[@clarknawrocki9718]

I'm 53 and own a R1 it's a great motorcycle

[@ericstout23]

Don't deserve that bike. Selling it cause it has 13k miles. Wow. Gay boy

[@chocolatetampon4492]

eric stout you sound jelly bruh lol

[@mhiscott4925]

Chocolate Tampon how's he jealous? He owns the same bike.

[@chocolatetampon4492]

GodSpeed yeah same here lawl but just cause he wants to get rid of it means he doesn't deserve it. Okayyyyyy

[@brad2141]

[@therowdyrue7768]

But isn't this the same guy that said liter bikes are useless and dumb?
