Ugliest R1 EVER!!
Saw this beauty while surfing E-bay. What do you guys think of that wonderful exhaust? That thing must make 25 hp over stock!!

That looks like a Hotbodies exhaust. They made(still make?) them for several other bikes as well.

It is good that you and the seller are in agreement on that

I like the cleaned up look. Talked with one guy that has this done, seat gets really hot. No more keeping candy bars or gum in the trunk.

OBTW, here is the ugliest R-1 on the planet. Guy should of been shot for doing such a thing to any motorcycle.

Re: Ugliest R1 EVER!!
Gotta agree with Mojave. That Kawi green R1 with slightly large hugger is the ugliest R1 ever.

Funny how the eBay guy is selling b/c he needs quick money, but will trade for a 2001 GSXR 750

I don't understand what the owner is thinking. He went to all that trouble including removing the side view mirrors, but left the front reflectors on the bike.

Selling because I need some quick money, I really hate to see this beauty go.
I would be interested in trades for another sportbike and cash, I would ideally like a 2001 GSXR 750. But I would gladdly listen to any trade or cash offers.
I actually like the bike. However, I wouldn't be able to trust the seller with a comment such as this. He has no idea what planet he's on.
