Ok so this is the deal....
I had to(pissing and moaning) drive my Girlfriends son 4 hours drive to lake tahoe for a court date.
While i was there i (board) get on line with my phone looking at craigslist in the area and find a 2004 R1 with 9.640 miles listed for $2.000!!!
And im thinking this is too good to be true or it's mangeled, so i call and a female answers, i tell her that i have $1,600 in my wallet and i would need $100 to get home so if she would consider taking $1.500 i would drive the xtra 2 hours into nevada to look at it.
She says hmmmm..........hmmmmm.........hmmmmmm.........hmm. .........
ok we just had a baby and we need the money,havent got any calls on it yet.
So im petal to the heavy metal!!! rockin to a town called fernly nevada
and no wonder why nobody called...can you say DESERT!
Anyhow the bike had been wrecked and needed side plastics and their dog chewed through the wiring harness so the bike couldnt be started.
I Happily give her the cash and loaded the bike in my truck, drive home
(not bitching and moaning anymore) and next day splice all the wires together and click....start...VAROOOOM.........prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr.
So this is my delima....
I know these bikes are great roadracers but ive done alot of searching on this site and havent found alot of info on the
04 R1 pro's and cons as a stunt bike.
What i need to figure out is keep it and cage it up or flip it and put the money into my.... road hard and put away wet....929.
I would like as much advice as possible about (pro's) best cage for this bike as well as the (cons).....Thanks guys
Heres a pic....

fix it sell it

spend money on building a stuntbike

R1 is not a standard stunt bike. u can stunt it, u can circle it, u can stoppie it. but if u dont know how already u will not learn very easily on a 2004 R1

good luck

 

Flip it

On another note...Lake Tahoe is gangster, I will move there one day. Squaw Valley area, had the best time ever when I was out there

 

i would make it mint as possible cheap as possible and sell it , check and see what an 04 r1 sells for and i think you will be happy...lol

 

Is the front wheel a little close to the radiator there. Is it tucked possbly?

 

even if it is a brand new frame is under 1000 bucks

 

Darius used to murder an R1 if my memory serves me right... but he can murder about anything... My friend has one its a street killer interstate wheelies for days and you can break it loose so easy...but its so twitchy I dont think I would wanna stunt it if the damage is purely cosmetic I would slap some fairings on that thing and you could make 3g's easy of that bike.


or screw it 1500 bucks stunt the bitch

 

Flip it.

 

dont those things go for like 5 or6 g's????
sell it and get a 636 with all the goodies.....or go gangster with a SV....jk

 

yeah dude id flip it

 

yeah flip it my buddy just sold his for 6500 and it had 12000 miles on it

 

Yes 5.500 to 6.500 and that makes this the best deal EVER! that i've ever got on a motorcycle...with clean title!!!
My gf has an sv6fiddy and were stunten it out too!!!

 

Nope, the forks are strait as my pecker in the morning after a wet dream!!!!

 

Yup i think thats the way im leaning, waiting to hear from vandal34 also since he rides R1.

 

flip it or fix it and keep it as a mint piece, not alot of good stunt parts and it would probabley end up being nothing but a headache as a stunter

 

flip that bitch, you'll make a grip off of it for what you paid for it

 

sell the 929, buy a cheap stuntbike and keep the r1 for a street killa.

 

Ya i've taken the R1 out a few times and its quite a blast, thing is a fun machine with some ***** but i still think my 929 track bike will kick its a**
The track 929 weighs only 383 pounds and i think that has a lot to do with it.

 

you lucky bastard! thats a hellva deal, mabey your right about the whole praying thing,haha, keep that **** for sure,make a great street killer or track bike

 

ya i can honestly say i've been blessed
