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!

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

Nick, pics of the R1 please

Congrats!

[Chilli]

Cheers gents. Looks very plain at the mo, so think I'll get some Yoshi-woshi carbon cans for starters.....£700?! Jesus.

[steviegasgas]

Should have got the gsxr!!! Haha, only kidding, I have had both, they are fantastic bikes, not much between them in the real world. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.....

Cheers. A bit lively ain't they?!

Nice one Chilli and we still want pics even if it is stock!

[GreigR]

Good choice, sounds just like mine. I'd go for Akra's or Graves, these guys have recently become the UK distributor: http://www.raceperformanceparts.co.uk/

Welcome to the insanely fast world that is litre bike ownership. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun.

At last!!!!


Good choice. Enjoy yourself.

Nice one mate, do love an R1 (bit too much for a newbie like me though), stunning bikes. So what decided it against the GSXR then?
Shame it's gonna be pretty icy down her next week. Roll on spring and grippy roads.

[Chilli]

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?

[Andy OH]

Nick, congrats at last on getting yourself an R1.....it's bean a few years coming.......btw get the Akrapovic cans, you kow they are the only cans to have on an R1, of course I am a little biased

Well hoo-bloody-ray he's finally been & gawn & dunnit.

Well done chief. Now you got to park your face up to the window every day looking out for nice enough weather to take the P & J out. (actually it's a lovely winter day up here in Lincs)

Good luck Nick.


(perhaps now we can all relax)

[Chilli]

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.
