He probably likes the older R1 better because of the more prominent grunt at lower RPMs. The 04-08 R1s don't really produce their power until much higher in the RPM range. Tell him to go down one tooth on the front sprocket, and up one on the rear. This will give him the low end pull that he wants.

Styla, they don't make a Movistar Yamaha. His bike was dressed up with decals to look like Rossi's M1.

DI48LO, tell your firend that isn't a real SP Edition (the immediate giveaway are the wheels and suspension). I hope he didn't pay a premium for it. If he did, have him go back and give the seller hell.
