Very nice, not just one R1M but two smile
They do sound great with exhaust sorted out. Think i really just like any non standard inline 4 bike or other type of bike engine now, like these flat plane r1, v4, twins and triples. I've owned so many inline 4s but never a v4 or flat plane crank yam... Yet!

These R1s on are cross plane cranks, not flat plane. At a quick glance, all of the 4 cylinder bikes in your profile are / were flat planes.

Congratulations John, quite a wait but I'm sure it will be worth it once you get out on track.

They'r brilliant, when you get up close to them, they've got stuff on them you just don't realise from photos etc, and some of it I could not work out tbh!

IMHO the very best of the super exotics at the minute, all things considered, and almost a bargain at £18k.

Well done BN, and well done using it as it was meant to be, be interested to see what you are planning with it transformation wise. It's got to be anniversary yellow!!

Nice one John.. An M to boot!! thumbup

I know you'r e a fully paid up Yamaha fan but they are cracking bikes. There's a ton of them here at Phakisa today on all manner of pipes and they sound lovely.
Just not as lovely as the V4 you understand wink

Enjoy mate, she's a stunner

Its still freezing up here Tony and I've been waiting 6 months for it so as stupid as this sounds I am not in the slightest excited, I was for a while when I had the conformation I was getting one.
