[@ironj03]

Oh ya some very $$$ bikes lol

[@Sanchez631]

Thanks for the vid, what you do w yours?

[@ironj03]

No prob man! And video later on shows that I got hit by a car bike got totaled :/

[@TopherIsDaMan]

I know this is a old vid but I’ve got my eye on a 02 R1 with 11k miles on it super fuckin clean and the guy is wanting to trade for my supermoto have you had any issues with it?

[@ironj03]

Mine got hit by a car but these motors are workhorses! My buddy had this gen r1, still does, over 120k miles. Still fast and only had to change 2 stators and one water pump. If it’s clean and in good running shape it’ll last!

[@Master-nv2db]

I travel in my r1 for 3:30m ima tell you that will never ever in my life do that again and I’m only 24 but after does 3 and half hour I felt like I was 70 everything hurt and I couldn’t even walk I had to put gas on the gas station it was a cop he literally look at me laughing and he told me is a nice bike but that’s why I don’t get a sport bike I try to play it off but I couldn’t look like that bike fuck me good 😂🤣 I promised by next summer I be riding a chopper but I will still keep my r1

Bro I’m 39 and rode mine for 2 and a half hours you just got to know how to position yourself and don’t ride upwards lay on your tank rest your hands on the tank it’s a smooth ride

[@somu9821]

Does the bike vibrates?

[@ironj03]

Smruti Ranjan Das it does have some but not a lot. Only time you can tell is when you are gripping the handle bars to tight. But shouldn’t be doing that lol so it lets me know to let go a little

[@somu9821]

thanks i am thinking of buying the same model should i go for it?

[@ironj03]

Smruti Ranjan Das cool! And it’s a great bike, reliable and should last Lon if you treat it well! Just make sure the bike wasn’t treated poorly from previous owners, it is a 17yr old motorcycle but it’s a great bike, I love mine!

[@somu9821]

@@ironj03 its going for around $4000 i think that's nice any suggestions?

[@ironj03]

Smruti Ranjan Das make sure there’s no engine knock. When you go to check it out ask him not to start the bike before u get there. You can learn a lot from a cold start. When ya get there touch the engine to make sure he didn’t warm it up. What’s its mileage? I’d say Try to get him into the 3’s though

[@luiszapien6604]

Is a 24k miles 2004 r1 worth it

[@ironj03]

How much they asking?

[@luiszapien6604]

@@ironj03 asking 3800

[@ironj03]

@@luiszapien6604 it’s not a terrible price, ask for proof of valve clearance check

[@arixramirez3701]

@@ironj03 I’m looking at a 03 40k $3600 what’s a valve clearance check? Do the valves gap end up closing?

[@ironj03]

@@arixramirez3701 I think every 32k is valve check in these. My buddy had one from 3k--> 110,000. Back roads and track days. Only ever needed two valves adjusted and a couple water pumps and a stator. If the bikes been treated well so far, And you take care of it, def worth it, will run forever ! But probs should have valves checked since it’s at the 40k mark

[@venomizpoison]

I got mine three days ago all black and it my friend blew my socks off it’s the fastest thing I’ve ever ever rode it’s so fast I can’t hardly hang on 😊

[@venomizpoison]

Get mine in two weeks can’t wait
