Ha Ha, then you need another one, they are plentiful enough on Ebay and not too expensive. You don't need to kill anyone to own it, just spend a few hundred $.
I'd kill to have my R5 back. Out of all my bikes, the R5 was the most exhilarating. it looked stock except for the JR Power pipes, but it wasn't. Spending any time in the power band, in any gear, wasn't legal.
My R5 does have an air filter, it is a big K&N fitted instead of the Yamaha air box and filter. I think it helps a little and in 3 years riding it has not damaged the motor. Sounds nice too, I think.
I recently fitted one to my Avenger too and it makes a bigger difference on that bike.

HI, Great R5. Do you still have it? I just acquired one in BK as well. Where do you get it serviced? Trying to find a good mechanic in NYC. Thanks

Hi.
Thank You.
Your bikes are better as is your R5 video.

Oh what a great video! Nice sound from the Yam. But that sounds riding without air filter? Nice bikes you have; fantastic!
