hey guys, once again I'm looking at an R1 ( I sold my R6). I have found two .....

2002 with full yosh system and PCIII, 4852 miles, blue ........ $5800 (possibly $5700) ..... about 125 miles away from me.

OR

2003 R1 pretty much stock except turn signals, frame sliders, with 5800 miles, BLUE and $6500 (possibly negotiable) ....... 275 miles away. brand new michlen pilots too.....


any known issues with 02's or 03's??

I'm leaning towards the 03 if I can get them to budge on the price a little....

Both bikes are the same save for the graphics.

For my money I would take the 02, and I don't know of any issues specific to this model R1.

thanks for the input!

<- would have chosen the '02 also. Sounds like it's tweaked already.
