Have been riding my 06 750 for about 4 years now, and had a junk Yamaha 600 before that. Tried out a lot of 1000's, and finally figured I would get one myself. Found a guy on craigslist willing to make a trade, so i went for it. Here are the last pics of my 750, and some (near exactly the same looking) pics of the 05 1000.
My 750 had a Akrapovic carbon fiber exhaust, BMC race filter, and a 520 -1/+2 sprocket conversion. Ran like a bat outta hell, but i laid it down awhile ago and it still needed some work even after i replaced most of the damaged pieces. Other than that it was extremely clean! As you can see, no panty lines on the back tire. We actually ride our bikes around here unlike the guy who owned the 1000!!
Traded the guy my 750 + a speedo healer i never installed + 400 bucks. The 1000 is in great shape, never wrecked, and 12k miles. It has a full Yoshimura exhaust, power commander, BMC filter and a few other small things. I think i definitely came out ahead and i'm loving the 1000 so far.
Planning on getting new tires (can't stand the 200 shinko on the rear) and a chain/sprockets and should be good for now. Would love a new exhaust but probably wont have the money for awhile.
