Cycle World has a short article about the 06 Yamaha R1-LE with all sorts of trick stuff. While it is pricey compared to a standard R1, it is not out of line for what you get. Sweet bike and likely to be a collectors item in a few years.
Holy Öhlins! One look at the yellow-and-black Yamaha YZF-R1 Limited Edition and you know something special is up. It’s not just the fancy Kenny Roberts-inspired retro paint scheme, either, because you can get that very same pigment treatment on the standard R1.
No, Yamaha graced the LE with some pretty special racing-oriented components to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, and along the way happened to build what will no doubt be an excellent platform for production-based racing.
