Well as the title says and some already know I sold my 03 cobra a little while ago. Even though I have read it from multiple people on here that they wish they never sold theirs I still did.... And I also wish I hadn't :bash: Anyways I wanted a C5 z06 real bad but after the cobra was gone I figured maybe I would get something a little cheaper and still lots of fun, plus a friend needed somebody to ride with (his bike is pictured also). So since the GTP grand prix was just not cutting it for me I ended up with this.. 2009 Yamaha Raven R6
I have always had dirt bikes and have riding those for over 13yrs so this one hell of a first street bike. I have been very careful with it, and have just over 520 miles on it now. Got it two weeks ago, and I must say I LOVE IT!!!!! :thumbsup: Its just amazing to me just how easy it is to get around on this thing, just gets up to speed without any issues whatsoever. Also I do not have any pictures of it within the past few days but the rear fender has been fixed, like all of the stock bikes the rear fender is a joke. Anyways here are some pics, also in the pictures is my friends 2009 R1. Both got them on the same day, must say that R1 is a bad machine as well. Crossplane crankshaft is flat out insane. Here are the pics :beer:


First off the car I sold

Someone could probably ask him if he ever got off of it. All he does is ride now! But I would too if I had one.

...I hate both of you!

Nice bike man. I love the technology in the new R1, but I'm still not sold on the looks. I don't like the front end of it at all.

i clicked open this thread just because i had no clue what so ever what a 09 Raven was. I know squat about bikes but it sure does look cool.

LOL! I did the very same thing. I'm like, what is a 2009 Raven. That's a cool bike.

OP, do you miss your Cobra? And just out of curiosity, what kind of gas mileage do you get with a bike like this?
