It is obviously a 1st gen R1, but more specific it is a 00-01 R1. How can I tell? The nose is slightly more pointy, the outer edge of the upper fairing by the headlight is skinnier and the lower part where it mates to the mid is more squared off. Last thing that I noticed from the crappy video was an extra air vent in the lower fairing right below the riders knee.**this is comparing the 98-99R1 to the 00-01 since they both use the same frame, they are both 1st gen bikes**
Might also note that front end has been slammed. Typically done for drag racing so you don't wheelie as much on launches, however a lot of squids do it cuz they think it is cool. So this guy is either 1. A serious drag racer and that car is a monster, or 2. Squid that can't ride and the car is still fast.
BTW the bike is painted yellow because it's probably been wrecked and repainted...Any more R1 questions
