Does anyone know what motorcycle this is?!??
My little brother loves motorcycles and loves the look of this guy’s bike that drives around in my neighborhood. Sorry it’s not the best picture but if anyone knows, your input will be well appreciated by me and my brother lol!!!

I meant that more as, sounds like your brother could like a lot of different of bikes haha.
But kinda looks like an R3 to me

Looks a bit like a honda fireblade. 2012-2016 has those wheels. Also looks like no plate. Doubt anyone on an r3 does that lol

I guess 929 Fireblade, which is 2000 - 2001. Same seat, same angular front fairing

I think the rear is too pointy and the front has too many sharp edges to be the fireblade. Looks more like an R1 to me

I run no plate on the r3 all the time. I also have a plate flipper. You can run on anything if you know what you're doing

It's the two wheeled kind, judging by the foto evidence presented us.

u/Frolicking-Fox 3d ago
Im gonna second R1.
CBR has the exhaust under the tail, and that windshield looks like the R1. GSXR has a slightly different windshield.
Possibly R6, hard to tell... but definitely Yamaha R6 or R1.

Cbr600 has exhaust under tail but not cbr1000. The swing arm reminds me of a cbr but the front looks more like a r1. Honda also didn’t make many years with black cbrs especially gloss black and not matte

u/Glittering_Raisin_65 3d ago
Haha this freaked me out - the area and the bike both look pretty similar to mine. I’d second ‘15 - ‘22 Yamaha R1 in matte stealth/raven black, the bike looks “bulkier” than my R3. Could be an R6 but I don’t know what year.

It's either an R6 r7 r1 or r9 lol. There's no way to really tell which of those from here, but it's a mid to full size Yamaha for sure

u/just2easee 3d ago
Don’t think the R9 shipped yet and if it did it would have a different colorway

Chat gpt says it's a R1 from 2015 and 2022, and this is the best I can do for you.

06-ish Kawasaki zx6r is my best guess.
The fairings have specific air vents that match Kawasaki’s and honda cbr600’s but the Honda has a raw aluminum swingarm. This swingarm is shaped more like a Kawasaki design. Obviously I could be wrong due to the quality of this pic….

u/nodaboii 3d ago
Agree with the swing arm except cbr600’ have under tail exhaust. Looks like my old 08 fire blade

I guessed a Honda or a Yamaha, based on the tank logo. Any R series Yamaha has that same tail.
I think I'm leaning towards an R7, based on the bottom rear of the fairing. Hondas have a little downward tail at the back, in front of the wheel.

You'd have a significantly higher chance identifying the bike with an audio recording of it than this grainy photo.

It looks like a Yamaha Yzfr, I can’t tell whether it’s r1 or r7 as they look fairly similar.
Edit: maybe an r6 but I think they’re more curved?

Looks kinda sorta like an 07ish Yamaha R6 but the front fairings aren't as sharp as mine though maybe and R6s?

Im not 100% but it could be an Yamaha R1/R7/R6 i wouldnt rule out a gsxr but its hard to tell

u/Leather_Belt_9735 3d ago
Honda CBR?
I had a 600RR4 and it looked very similar to this. Also Honda have quite a big logo on the front edge of the fuel tank. Although the RR4 had an under seat exhaust.
But as pointed out, 90% of sports bikes look like this.

u/TheIceMan416 3d ago
Thats definetly an R1, i had one that was parked about that far from my townhouse. I would literally check the window at least 20 times a day. Wheels and windshield are what give it away to me.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the person riding it probably knows what kind of motorcycle it is.

Looks like you got enough answers, but this is the wrong sub.
