Got my new R1

Well I picked up my new project on Friday for $8,000. I found a 93 Vintage Red R1 locally. It is totally stock with 49,200 actual miles. It still pulls pretty hard. I have to get it painted as my first step and then start the reliability/performance mods soon. I will post some pics as soon as the snow melts!

I was happy with the deal, but don't get me wrong...it needs some love. The window tint is peeling and I am having that removed soon. I have to get a catback since the muffler has a huge hole in it. And the paint is pretty bad. I am looking to add about $2800 to the amount I paid for it with these three alone.

It's a shame that you MUST get a catback... (Just messing with you )
