Hey guys, not long had my new toy, picked up a mint 04 5VY. 8k on the clock, full history, tidy cans on her, Nitron shock, CRG levers, tail tidy, and not a mark on her. Bought off ebay, seller was a really nice bloke, was up for £4.7k, I offered my budget of 4k, and after the seller chewed it over, He agreed. Over the moon with her smile

Nice bike. Probably the best of the R1s looks wise.

I agree, really not a fan of the latest iteration especially.
