You know, at this point, you could have bought a Base R1 and been fine.

[@abirabedin6016]

Who cares what it cost? This is your bike. From top to bottom, it is exactly the way you wanted it to be. It is beautiful. As someone who transitioned from custom road biking to motorcycles, I found this series fantastic. I can't wait to see this beautiful beast in more of your videos.

[@sash328]

That is correct, I also buy cheaper "projects" that end up being more expensive in the end but at least there are new parts on it and made for my taste 🙂

[@xani666]

Well if "the way you wanted it" is stock with some fairings it's kinda waste of time. Good YT material, but waste of time.

[@Snicker433]

Exactly, I rebuilt my Yamaha XJ6 I bought from a wreck for $1,500 AUD, spend about $2000 to repair it and I love it.

[@Lou.C59]

That colour is absolutely beautiful, don't hide it with stickers. What a great combination, the blue and silver looks fire. Great project!

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Tip for drilling holes to a certain depth: if you don’t have a drill with a depth gauge, just wrap a piece of sticky tape around the bit, and stop drilling when you reach it.

[@avothfis]

Priceless is the fact that you enjoyed building the bike to your liking. Nice.

[@Mr_Penguiin]

absolutely love this series, i was waiting every day for the next one xD

[@doodskie999]

Is it worthwile saving a couple of thousand dollars? Hell no! Is it an awesome informative journey? Hell Yes! What you gained from this project is knowledge and experience which you probably cant get if you just bought a regular stock R1, so yes, this process was worth it! Knowledge is priceless!

[@george99247]

thats the fun thing of fixing something yourself instead of having someone do it/buy something thats alright

[@OneZoNinja]

The fact that you worked on it from the state it was in until now makes it that much more special than just buying it already finished. By now Im sure you know that bike inside and out which will make it that much easier for you to troubleshoot should you run into any problems later on down the road. Keep the videos coming. We are here to watch, and I love bikes so it is entertaining.

[@blacknight7201]

Your hard work and dedication is enviable. Your R1 looks amazing! I can’t wait to see the final final results. The blue fairings look great!

[@SRaven1]

i was like oh cool another episode and at the end i was like aw shit this is the last episode

[@snoozzzyy]

so so so so so clean, i really love the painted tank too, looks better without the tank cover. i bet it feels so good to finally have it basically finished after a long process to bring it back to a street monster. enjoy and ride safe!!

[@shankar_padmanabhan]

Not gonna lie, kind of addicted to this series.

[@Bams0n]

Don't you dare add black stickers to that gorgeous paint job! The bike is beautiful and even though I have little interest in a R1 I love this bike and thoroughly am enjoying this series. Keep up the great work!

[@GewoonJelleYT]

One of my favorite series on youtube currently! Keep up the content man! 💯👌

[@vitty5995]

So happy to see this project finished, it really looks awesome! Also very entertaining to watch from the beginning to the end, can't wait for new projects like this, channel def deserves more and more subs

[@brycegaming3910]

I think the work behind to transform the R1 is worth every penny. Building (or customize) your own bike is an experience like no others. Cheers mate!

[@Gladd0s]

Loved this series, hope for more like it. That color is absolutely stunning, great job!

[@precludeneco]

Thank you for sharing this journey with us, it's been fun and expiring to follow your project. You should be proud of your R1, it looks amazing 😎

[@vindeagle7382]

I absolutely think that this whole process was worth it. I can tell you I have bought bikes just to fix and sell, and also bought bikes to keep. Whatever the circumstances, the ones that I worked on the most, I felt a greater connection to and therefore felt more comfortable riding them. Your R1 looks great and I feel like you have a stronger connection to it because you know its ins and outs, you can't buy that and I hope you really enjoy it.

[@ProphetAndLoss]

I love what you did, the content and achievement. That colour rocks too!

[@EricLeePiano]

out of all the bike channels yours is my favorite ❤ that r1 you used for fairing inspiration is also one of my favorites too!

[@AgricUltra]

Have been following all along. Brilliant. Amazing job. Totally worth it. Well done.

[@inter-]

i thoroughly enjoyed this series. imo, of course it was worth it. not only did you save some money, but you learned so much about it in the process of rebuilding it, and that is priceless! cheers!

[@diyeveryday67]

Bike is beautiful! Great job! Love the DIY aspect of any project.

[@jaistanton4062]

I love every episode of this series !

[@heyshreyas9]

This series was so good, enjoy your awesome bike mate

[@simemo75]

It looks amazing. Well done about leaving the silver tank. It mixes really nice with the blue. Big thumbs up for this project. Enjoy your R1!!!

[@AYYOFLOCKA]

Just to say hats off to you, I never knew I wanted a R1, but your enthusiasm was infectious! Congrats I hope you have loads of great memories with this bike, I hope you do another!

[@matthewkenny4135]

To know your bike the way you do… absolutely worth it. Loved this series.

[@bikerin4281]

You did a really amazing job and let it look pretty easy. I wish nice time with your new baby now. Hopefully you let us see more of it soon. Well done Chaos!

[@greatkingrat]

That’s the most beautiful colour I have seen and the journey and customisation that you got to choose makes it all yours and even more special.

[@OneZoNinja]

Oh man. That bike looks amazing! Awesome color and the pattern on those fairings really make it look premium. Great job. I wish I had half as much enthusiasm to work on a project from start to finish.

[@bear_moto6749]

I have an 2015 R1M, I have to say been following this build absolutely love this mate. Good on ya.

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

OMG Finally !!! Congrats woohoo 🥳💪❤

[@iamziim]

Bro this is so dope! Was it worth it? The smile on your face says it all. It’s yours so you enjoy it! Happy for you

[@jonathandavies6862]

Absolutely worth it for what you learned from it and we got this excellent content!

[@spartanx169x]

Absolutely worth while. You now know the bike inside out, you know what you have and I'm sure you have gotten a great feeling of accomplishment from doing everything (priceless).

[@charliepyle1626]

I converted my old one from street to track, raced it for years and kept changing it. I would never try to change it back but having said that- race bikes are serviced pretty much every weekend. Unless a stress thing happens from being flogged or crashed it should be a sweet ride for many years.

[@branislavcesljar8711]

I believe that satisfaction of working on it and slowly rebuilding it adds a lot to joy after, when its able to run perfectly. So even if you didn't save some money, its absolutely worth it! Hopefully you wont run into often reaccuring issues as sometimes happens with this type of rebilds. Worth it for sure ^^

[@Arabeon]

You're next level dude, I don't know how to do half of what you did. Great job putting it back together. The bike looks amazingand the color is sick, well done. I'll put some stickers on for added spice.

[@vic.d2__]

love this series so much

[@AzureCloudCowboy]

Dude , as long as you are happy. Well done on getting it this far. Nothing sounds like a cross plain engine.

[@mrpeacelol4496]

The Drop I've been waiting for weeksss...YOU DID IT BROTHER KUDOS

[@barrydailly2091]

Your R1 looks fantastic! Well done. Doesn't matter too much what it cost. The experience has been amazing. Thanks for sharing so well.

[@industrialkhaos]

I think it is worth it. You have new parts everywhere and a very good understanding of your bike. It looks 100% better and should run sweet. Well done

[@HashtagFelix]

i loved this series. please keep doing this stuff :D im myself are planning on getting a project bike of some sort to build throughout my apprenticeship

[@leonardoastegiano4267]

Totally worth it, love the color and this build series !

[@ashokboroAB]

I was waiting for this video honestly🤩

[@samirshukla9342]

Well done man, it looks amazing!

[@MuhammadHammadAshraf]

Congratulations on getting it together man. That bike def needed some TLC. Enjoy your ride and stay safe!

[@pochonks]

knowing your bike deep down will save you more bucks in the future. i think that alone is so worth it already. really awesome job and thanks for sharing this with us!

[@deltafrost4976]

The combination of silver and blue is so good

[@Guenny9961]

Great work man! Cheers 🍻

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

That silver and blue livery is sharp! It’s a stunner! You’ve now got a bike customised to how you want it and haven’t spent a fortune. You also know the bike. Priceless! I like that fastener kit too. Hard to get all that including the windscreen mounts in one. I’m on the lookout now. Please consider posting a link.👍🏻

[@kieraz10]

Great series, I done this with a street triple r earlier this year to save myself money but getting the bike I wanted. It is surprising what you can save if you never plan on selling the bike. Hope you do more series like this.

[@zilch3791]

ive beeennn waiting for this videooooo!!!!

[@Noisemak3r_ke]

definetly worth it.... factor in the amount of knowledge and understanding about the bike that you've got as well. currently in the exact situation as you with a CBR1000rr here in Kenya.

[@_zoromt09]

Finally! I was waiting for this video

[@flippingcars101]

Stunning 😍 bro 😎 keep up the good work. A big shoutout from the uk 🇬🇧

[@bearwolffish]

Wow man, real inspirational job, from the start. 20:41 - 20:45 is of value beyond any marginal savings.

[@beborodner930]

Wow man!! Enjoyed this R1 series. All the colors, even with the fake carbon.. looks great!

[@TheDitch45]

well done dude loved every step and it looks awesome with the tank

[@davidboda46]

The bike is beautiful and unique. And you had fun fixing her up. It's truly your bike, and that's priceless. Cheers.

[@joek81981]

I think the Bitubo suspension is the bike's cynosure. You never see Bitubo in the wild here and its such a process to install *properly*. So sweet to see those particular doodads on top of the forks.

[@kylebarthus5817]

Great job 💪🏻 bike looks beautiful!!!!

[@vivekjain01]

I am from India and I randomly came upon the first video in this series 2 days before and I got hooked to it, seeing the final version of the R1 in this video which you just released feels like fate. Nice work man,keep it up.

[@TwoWheeledHepkat]

Love that color. Leave the stickers off. Plus, I’m glad you went with the silver gas tank and wheels. Such a beautiful bike. Nice job!

[@zilch3791]

i loved it!!!!!! Currently rebuilding a crashed r1

[@markpineda1977]

Here we go!

[@the_sun_ray]

congrats man. i feel like you have built yourself a keeper.

[@LowQualityPigeon]

Can't get over how good it looks. Especially that silver tank and silver wheels over that blue fairing. Hope you don't go for blue tank cover over the silver one since that makes your bike look unique compared to that other blue R1. Can't wait for the next episode to drop.

[@dragonsupersayan]

I would congratulate you but you haven't fixed the horn yet

[@ChaosCauses]

Hahah that's fair!

[@Jagknorr]

Lol you’re telling me everyone doesn’t get free thousand dollar fairings on their rebuild projects?! 😂

[@ChaosCauses]

Hahah everyone's an influencer these days so I'm sure they do

[@alexmorgans5635]

lol are they even that good

[@123456jdt]

great videos, i am also converting a 2015 R1 from track to street, couple of small parts that where missing but overall it has everything. might repaint the tank and wheels also, looks sick in the silver.

[@DrKampfpudding]

gorgeous bike ! That baby blue looks amazing on it

[@The5118]

Great build mate. Looks great in that colour.

[@housekeys9768]

Vf designs makes a great rear indicator replacement that looks amazing for these bikes

[@Evo_Spec]

Definitely worth the journey of learning the bike and repairing the bike as you go, all along with saving money on top.

[@danileichenkovv]

Oh, common! That start up sound... The best music! 🎼

[@michelledeluisa6200]

kudos my friend, you made a beautiful bike, loved it!!!

[@thejoyofskating]

Absolute beautiful restoration job mate

[@otlndsh]

Loving the blue. Nice job!

[@xpantz]

Looking great. Nice work.

[@bdalasile4476]

Love the colour combination 😍🔥

[@crashman3150]

Well done, it looks fantastic 😊

[@flyaroundyourfire]

Really well done mate! You must be chuffed 👏🏽

[@TonyD_za]

Definitely worth it, it looks awesome! And it's individual. I would forego the stickers too.

[@lennnart]

i love this series

[@dmedina6835]

Wow that is so nice but I would replace to logos with your own !!! Solid ride

[@Dootsauce]

Amazing work , like damn

[@PEZ1514]

If you are worried about drilling to far in the radiator measure the length of the bolt then tape the drill bit so when you insert the drill bit and the tape starts or about to enter the hole stop drilling.

[@DYNOSRR]

It turned out amazing!

[@ilmangiamandragole7857]

Beautiful end result, I love the original style but pls, change the mirrors. Get some Rizoma ones or something more sporty, and install end bar turning signals. They look Soo clean and are pretty visible

[@greyanaroth]

The journey is totally worth it. Get that suspension tuned pls. And find your local bitubo guy and see about the right spring rates and a potential revalve for your riding

[@HD_Motovlogs]

You've done a great job on this bike mate 🤩🤩

[@yeahdark4282]

you did a great job!! Well done mate

[@hafo1979]

Its real worth is in the watching.. which is hugely entertaining👍

[@valon212]

Totally worth it! Great job bud. Im considering getting an older bike to fix up myself - eventho having a Panigale V4 is pricey enough to keep in a crisp state😅

[@jasondunn8313]

Your bike your way mate. Looks great with contrasting silver tank and blue fairings.👍

[@tripod6406]

Cracking job my friend, I would have definitely done it the same way, 8m not just saying that to kiss arse, but those racing parts that were already on it are worn in, where as if you had bought the parts to put on the $12k bike, you would have had to learn the set up, where as most of that work had already been done. If you add the cost of those parts and add to the $12k bike, you would have to add the time and energy spent to fit and dial it in. Therefore by the time you're finished you would have a bike where you would never be able to make your money back if you ever sell it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to what you have coming next. 🇬🇧
