I was looking for a new bike this week and really looking at the ducati 848 and the ktm rc8. Neither of them really looked right for me due to various reasons but the dealer had a new 2010 r1 sitting in his old warehouse that he hasnt been able to sell. We took a ride to the warehouse and there it was sitting in the corner untouched. just been sitting there for years. i think they were asking too much for it initially and it just sat till it was so in the way in the showroom they just moved it further and further away till it was forgotten.
I had them detail it and i picked it up for a good price. They really didnt want to budge on the price but they also didnt want the bike sitting for another year. I took it home yesterday were itll sit in my shed for the next few months. Cant wait to actually ride it but the snow here is getting bad.
Im new to r1's but not to bikes. I have about 7 right now and this just adds to my collection. I was a diehard gsxr guy but they just dont do it for me anymore. truthfully i dont even like inline 1000's, im more of a 750 guy. The R1 was close to what i wanted in a bike so i took a chance on it.
Im trying to nail down what i want ot do to the bike and how to go about it. All this flash and pvc talk has me doing a lot research. All i really know is i want to open that exhaust up. Maybe just baffles and de-cat or maybe slip-ons to full system. There arent to many Current gen r1's by me to listen to so its youtube and reviews for me. Ill also do the ais delete, air filter, and some sort of frame sliders but i havent seen any i really like yet.

Here are some pics i took yesterday:
