2004YZFR1 - The engine failed at 500 miles - I think it spun a bearing, but not 100% sure, the dealership never did a full post mortem, they just pulled the oil pan and saw "a lot of metal". The new engine suffered the valve spring failure (which I specifically asked the service writer to inquire about before they put the motor in). After that I kept finding problems with the car from the shoddy quality of work - parts damaged, parts missing, exhaust leaks, etc. I ran out of patience having to take it back every few days to have some new issue fixed so I lemoned it.

Thanks to everyone else, I think I'm sold on the PDR. I found out a local dealer is getting a 2022 1SS 1LE with PDR soon, and its in the color I want. As long as they don't have some BS market adjustment I'll probably end up picking it up.
