Haha Toxicnerve & Nemesis... I'll have you know I ride like a lady... Side saddle n all jester

Honestly feels like all I do is work on bikes, track bikes, ride my road bike and repeat

Wife said this looked sweet while I tried to cure the bog on my boys bike coming out the corners today at Wroxton. My daughter is showing me clearly what's wrong

Daughters dont ever stop doing that, it only gets more sarcastic as they get older...Great pic BTW.

Very nice indeed. IMHO apart from the 2006 SP colours that has got to be up there for one of the best looking R1's ever made

That looks so clean! Has it done many miles?

Yes I'm learning that very quick! My 14yr old son is so chilled but my 2yr old daughter is mad at times!

It's only done 3000 miles ... 1 owner bike as well. Bit of a find in that colour too.

Looks great. Enjoy racking up the miles on it.

One thing though. Surely the mixture of Matt and Gloss paint surfaces will create havoc with your OCD ?

3000 miles in 3 years is almost criminal! Still their loss your gain!

Is that colour really that rare? Always seems to be a couple on eBay whenever I've searched, even more with the gold wheels.

The gold wheel version is 2009-2011... this is the one with the updates (2013) and with the gloss black wheels which aren't common.

TBH I'm not arsed ... I just like the colour and it's a mint bike.

Still not ridden it yet!!! frown

Ah ok, I wasn't taking any notice of the years, I just flick through daydreaming of which to pick hehe

Certainly looks clean though, get those Akro's on to get it singing, enjoythumbup

My bike really chose a very picturesque spot to break down this afternoon, and my iphone battery died right after I took the pic so couldn't call for breakdown assist.

Faulty kickstand cutout I think - starts in neutral but as soon as you put it in gear (first or second) engine cuts out. Managed to get it going long enough to get home (not sure how beyond a bit of kicking and swearing) , thankfully as a dead iphone and dead bike is not the best when you're stuck miles from civilisation

Ignoring the upside down photo, there's a common novice mistake that gets made. Did you try to put in gear with the side stand down? You'd be amazed how many people make that simple mistake.
