New track bike at last

You used it on the road much BN? I'm considering chopping my '09 RSV4 Factory in for a standard '15 R1 but not convinced the R1 is as good a road bike. Your M looks gorgeous btw, I'll bet its a proper weapon on track!

Hello Dave

I've done 580 miles on it so far (just had its first service 600 mile)

I had fault codes on mine while I was running it so that meant the electronic suspension and power modes plus all the other stuff was stuck in a default mode which made the suspension rock hard, hard enough for me to bite my tongue hitting an unseen bump. I have ridden a 15 R1 without all the ste on it and it was a lot better on the road.

Comfort wise I thought my old 04 R1 was comfortable but swapping between the 2 the newer one is a lot better.

Oh, it goes like fkin stink too.

Time to bring this thread to a conclusion

Just fitted new Rethal sprockets and some of my old Moto 2 slicks. All being well I should have completed my first day on track with this bike by the end of the week at Croft

Be interested to hear what you think of the suspension over all the bumps at Croft.

Yep, I'll have to remember to take my teeth out or I'll end up swallowing them.

Enjoy. Can you remember which way it goes?

I'm gonna have a st time, none of the lads are going to show any mercy. If I don't get on with this then its time to hang my track boots up.

I'll give you £67.32 and a KitKat wrapper for it, when your toys leave the pram

Throw in a Mars Bars and its a deal.

Only a fun size. Anything else and I'm being ripped off.

I'll think about it.

Can't wait to see it John

Cheers Tony. Its been a while since we've "caught up", Ben was texting before asking if I fancied the day you lot are doing, its only a couple of days after my double at Silverstone so I'll not be able too make it.

Catch up soon hopefully.
