Wow is a good word to describe that!

I just looked at the pictures, but that is raw talent with great patience.

Hope he puts the stickers on.

Those headlights. I've been wanting to put projectors on my bike since I got it.

Nice build! R7 is bad ass.

These were taken by me at the Barber Museum.

Well............no one could afford them......... :no :rofl:

supply and demand...

maybe if they made alot they could have dropped the price!

1098R is $40K...and people buy those.
i think people could afford the R7...

maybe if they had a "S" version that didnt have ohlens forks and stuff, then it would have been cheaper...


I DEMAND A START IN THE PRODUCTION OF MORE R7's!!

One 1098R was on display at the dealer, but there was 2 sitting outside that people owned and were there for the dealers monthly BBQ...there was also a 848 that someone owned, and I think 3 1098s that people owned...
There was 5 ducs (sport gp class) inside for sale
1098R ($39K
1098S ($18K
1098S ($14K --this one didnt have the ohlens forks or shock
1198 ($21K
848 ($12K


what was the price tag on the R7?
