2018 Yamaha R1 - Just bought!

I posted some in my other thread but thought I could drop some here as well. I plan on removing the yellow wheel tape, and I ordered new tank grips since these ones are peeling off. Apparently an issue with this brand.

Looks lovely mate. For future referance, when you upload images, can you select full size and not thumbnail.

Nice!

I like the wheel tape. The stripes make it pop a little vs just a dark wheel.

That is a gorgeous bike! Glad you went with the Yamaha Blue!

Thanks mate! It was the best deal I could find, but I wanted blue honestly.

Nice!

I dont think it looks terrible but I'm not a fan of aesthetic stickers in general. Just my personal opinion.

Looks mean as hell! very nice. What's the situation with the lights/indicators are they just small/out of shot?

I keep hearing this.. maybe I should leave them on? You dont find them kinda tacky? If they were painted on i think it would be cooler imo

The color of the striped matches the fork tubes, and you don't see many bikes with stripes on the wheels like that so it's kinda unique in my opinion.

Yeah and the levers as well. I dont think it's terrible honestly. Havent done anything yet so I'll take some more photos and video before I make that decision.

I actually like it! I would say it's my favorite exhaust for the R1 only second to the GP Austin Racing exhaust. To each their own

Love the color combo (especially the wheels)! I have an Akrapovic exhaust too and find their quality/sound to be great.
