Lessening of opportunities to ride the thing, being brutally honest. Think I had only done 3000 miles on it in the 2 years I owned it.
I had a few other things going on which I needed to concentrate on, including the buy out of my business partner which was a very time consuming matter (but needed doing), and was also in the middle of adoption process (3rd child), which is something we I/we had planned for a number of years.
With these now sorted, and work seemingly seeing an improvement in general trading, whilst I don't expect to suddenly have loads of spare time for a bike, I quite like the idea of owning one again for the times that I do have some spare time & can just go out for a ride, whether that be on the road or track.

That picture above looks like it was made to troll.
One bloke in a pair of jeans and hoody on an old R1. The other fella is pulling a heavily financed £15,000 new R1 wearing his sweat pants and ill fitting shoes into what is probably his Mum's house.Looks pretty genuine to me.
(I'm only kidding, obviously I'm just stereotyping for fun, know fk all about his finances and best of luck to him.)

Anyone get the mcn paper today?
I've got it. They love the new R1. That said, it's MCN so take what they say with a large pinch of salt (the cover claims that it is king of track, road and dyno, and yet when you look at the power outputs it is down on a couple of others).
