Got the R1!
The one I was going to see that sold this morning, was simply stunning. Makes mine look rather plain, as it's bog standard. Now on the look out for cans, carbon, and black things!

Cheers for all the advice gents (and Mitz!).

Right.....what cans??!!

All Yamahas are imports to the UK, they all come out of the same factory. so aslong as you have a full warranty i can't see any difference
Then it doesn't matter if I mention it, does it wink

I'll see if the mrs will put her best kit on and jump on the bike!

Ah, a fellow Essex man. Well, the mrs suggested that the GSXR looked a little....plastic-y??!! Plus I just couldn't learn to like the cans on them....even the arrow ones.

Weather is looking ste for a while, not that I'll have much time to ride in due course. Are you still riding?

Cheers gents....Went and checked it was still in the garage this morning!
Andy, I know what you're saying, but would I be labelled a raving homosexual if I said I prefered the triangular Yoshi ones?! Actually, there's a set of those Akro ones on ebay for £600.

Hmmm, they do look good. I was told that putting those on is the easiest choice...no re-map etc. Does that sound right?

It won't need a re-map with only a set of cans, maybe with a full system & filter a power commander would be worth it.
Got ya, ta.
Pics? I'd have get up out of the comfy lazy boy, and also move the car....I'll do it next weekend!
