value?
Hey guys and gals...
My sisters boyfriend is selling a 2002 Yamaha R1 with ridiculously low miles, and no one has even called him about it. It's listed in the newspaper and possibly even CycleTrader but I'm not 100% sure about the trader.. Anyways, he's only asking $6900 for it. I'm curious to see what the average R1 with that low of miles goes for, especially now that it's becoming riding season again. He's 30 years old and has never even actually ridden the bike hard; I think he bought it just because he could, to be honest. Never wheelied, never dropped, etc.... and it has a Two Brothers carbon fiber exhaust on it.
I realize it's an '02 and maybe that's what's stopping people from buying it, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Is the price too high or something?

HOWEVER, no one has called about it and it's been in the paper for several weeks. He's got a parrot for sale as well and ELEVEN (yes, literally.. eleven) people have called about it. LOL! Isn't that ironic?

I'm working on getting pictures of it but there's really nothing spectacular to see. It's never been dropped, it's the blue color scheme, and it has a carbon fiber Two Brothers exhaust on it. As far as I know, the exhaust is the only mod on it. Believe me when I say he's never ridden it the way a liter bike should be ridden!
Ohh, and it's always been stored indoors.. He won't sell it to me, unfortunately, but to be honest with you I don't really think it would be a good idea for me to get a 1000cc bike anyway. I'd be happy on a 600 or a 750 at the most. This, however, is the ideal used bike. Low miles, low price, previously owned by a 30 year old who never rode it hard.

Re: value?
Good bike. Good price. If it's still around in the next month or so, I will recommend a buddy of mine. He should be coming back from his deployment soon and he wants a bigger bike. When and if your friend sells it or not, let me know.
