Description

Hey guys,

Up for grabs is the aforementioned girl, one of my most favourite bikes I have had the pleasure of owning. I'm posting out of this base very soon, and as much as I love this bike I don't believe it to be a viable future option for me anymore, plus the car scene down south is a lot better then where I am going.

ITEM:

2006 Yamaha YZF-R1

CONDITION:

Very Good

REASON FOR SELLING:

Post Out of Navy Base

Get back into the 4 Wheeled Scene

PRICE AND PRICE CONDITIONS:

$9500 Negotiable

OR

Swaps for something of interest with cash your way.

EXTRA INFO:

Righto, start from the front to the rear, hey?

Brand new front pads.

Brand new Michi front tyre.

Braided brake lines f/r (yellow to suit bike).

Pazzo adjustible levers.

12000km service about 150kms ago.

New Michi rear tyre (about 600kms ago).

Rear pads about 600 kms ago.

Power Commander Ver.III.

Yoshi Half Pipes.

Fender Eliminator.

Have owners manual and original pipes back home (in Townsville).

LOCATION:

HMAS Cerberus/Frankston/About 1 hour south of Melbourne

CONTACT:

John Gallagher, either on (and in this order, too)

PM here

(yeah, sorry, we were all young once)

I bought this bike about 2 years 8 months ago with just under 9000 km's on her. In the time I've had her about another 4000 have been slapt on, so please don't think this has been a daily thrasher. She has only been ridden on sunny weekends and never as a 'track weapon'. It would be stupid to say that I have never opened her up, it is a sports bike, but it would be all I am against to say she is thrashed.

If I can add anything else, don't be shy and ask away. Am after a reasonably quick sale, so price is negotiable, just don't be a lowballer. Am looking to give her a good home.

John

REGARDING SWAPS - A car of interest would be a later model 180SX, or more preferable, a R32 GTR/Nice 34GT-T. Car would preferably come with a RWC, and would be better if it was a more local car (ie - VIC). Please, no 'Sik R33 that I raced my cuz in, brah, I totally smashed him!' type requests, I have allready owned a modded R33 GTS-t, and do not wish to own another one.

Anyway, if you have something up for offer, send me a message and I will surely check it out. I have a good bit of cash on the side if something nice comes up.

geraus,

nice cars bro. I had a S1 R33 GTs-T pretty much the same as the silver one, except black with a plazaman intake, kazaa 2 way diff and a GT-35r, and yours kinda reminds me off my old one. Except I think I'd have a lot less trouble getting a RWC with mine :laugh:.

I don't know if the R1 is what you would be looking for at the end of the day though man. Compared to a 250 Ninja, it would be like upgrading your Skyline to a McLaren F1, and please don't think thats an overstatement. It is a stupid, scary bike, that shouldn't have been made, let alone doing the little things I have done to make it even faster.

Still not sure why people mod the likes of R1's.

There are probably only a small handful of people in Australia that can extract anything like them on the race track.

Anyone even trying to approach limits in the street are crazy. And as far as opening it up in a straight line... man... last time I rode an r1 and tried to get it off the line it was more a challange of keeping the print wheel anywhere near the ground.

Anyway, sweet bike. I always loved the yellow Kenny Roberts theme that yamaha released. My fav R1 of all time.

I'm sure it will find a good home.

MY 33 GTR is up for sale or swaps getting back onto a bike. So if your interested shoot me a swaps cash offer and we'll have to work out the particulars.

Swoopdown -

Kinda the same when it comes to high end cars, I guess it's just bragging rights at the end of the day. But unlike cars, when it comes to supersports (even in standard trim), it all comes down to the skill of the rider, very rarely the bike itself. I still am quite baffled why they even make bikes like these, I know for a fact I could lose my license for a long time just giving her a go in first gear alone, let alone the top speed I have reached on her.

EAT26 -

Love the GTR, mate. Absolutely love it, everything that I would be looking for in a GTR. But the problem is the distance between us still, and I would be afraid to ask how much cash you would want thrown your way. I have a budget of $12000 - $15000 on top of the bikes value, and I get the general feeling I would be a little short on what you want.

Why is it everyone that has actually sent me an offer with something I want lives in the state where I used to live only a year ago. The military really does suck sometimes...

RAFFY -

Nice example of a 33 GTST mate. Looks clean for what you have done to it. I have owned 9 bikes in my life so far, and this has been one of the most reliable, balls-to-the-wall bikes I have ever owned. Gets a lot of attention from everyone on base here and cruising around, yet I have only ever been pulled up once for a RBT. Definately beats the SWAT teams I had to dodge everytime I took my old Skyline out for a spin.

Id be looking at about 17-18 on top of the bikes value with it sitting on the exact 9500.00 that you have on it already.

Yeah interstate selling is always an issue, but ride it up drive back ;):P hahaha all you need to do is deregister the bike or deregister when it gets back down south and then I deregister the car and you drive it down on a permit to travel interstate.

If your interested I will help what ever way I can other than the price lol. I have spent quite abit this year alone on the old girl.

Hey Raffy, yeah I got your message, it's just still a bit too difficult for my liking sorry.

Time is a big thing with me, as I work atleast 5 days a week, and generally do cashies with mechanical repairs on cars or electrical work on homes for many of the blokes here on base on that spare day. Plus I think I have -(negative)0.934 days leave or something up my sleeve, so I can't even get any time off till Christmas, where in I have to go back home (Queensland), so I just can't find it feasible to work around those constraints sorry.

For everyone else though.....

But, in breaking news, BUMP

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
