You really change your type of bike don't you?

Yeah. I've yet to own the exact same road bike twice. Have had 2 EXC 450s but that's it.

the marmite bike
some ppl love them ... some hate them

That is certainly the reception I've had so far . It has to be done now for that alone

wasn't a reference to colour... didn't see that post 

the marmite bike is the the sausage .. the big banger
a
R1 2009 onwards
some love them.. some hate them

2010 R1 in black are renown for blowing up   

Do you mean renowned???

Hope mine doesn't blow up.......

...fished in.....? 

keep an ear out for a noisy CCT (although i think ths only really effected the 2009 models, grabby clutch.... thats a feature and by design... throttle response.. a flash tune transforms the ycc-t)..


personally the r1 peaked with the 4c8 
(sausage may work better on track  )

Bitten.

The UK forum seems to support a re-flash. I'll see how it goes.

The bike I am buying is a 2010 registered on an 11 plate so hopefully it'll be trouble free. I won't keep it long anyway!!!

It's totally bog standard so the fat arse will be the first bit sorted!!

Set of Akros is a stupid price but Al's Quills sound nice.

Thinking Leo Vince but we'll see. If I can find a used set I'd rather have Akky carbons.

Very loud though...Akkys is the way forward....look and sound just right.

Short train ride and she's a minter.

Wrists did not thanks me for my first sports bike rideout in a couple of years but have to say, sausage is an epic road bike.

Just need to source a couple of cans and a tail tidy and that's the extent of my fucking around for now.

Stick some pictures up...I found the Big Bang engine quite strange...quick but uninvolving...good space on the bike though.

Pics soon. I am away.

I love the Big Bang engine. Open the taps in A mode and she sings.

I didnt mean to sound negative....and my blast was short...I just compared it to my 2007 R1 and that was a missile...perhaps more time would alter my initial thoughts...anyway enjoy....what colour is it...Black?
