Hey,

I tend to browse Craigslist from time to time and today I came across a 2005 R1 Raven for 3400. I thought it was a joke, so I emailed found out the bike is real; the product of a divorce. According to the owner, it hasn't been down and has 9753 miles.

Your advice got me onto Ninjette, which I love. So I know you won't steer me wrong! I'm really considering this to buy low now and ultimately sell in the spring, but I don't know a lot about Yamahas or the R1. Does anyone own a Yamaha or speifically a 05 R1?? Is this a bike I could resell easily? What should I look for or any other questions I could ask the owner?

Thanks for your help!
