Let the eBay lottery commence.

That's one helluva lot of bike for £25...well done.

Nice bike..

Always liked these...

Gold wheels FTW, minus the horrendous rim tape of course..

rear pegs off too perhaps and the subtle application of some black paint in some small areas and job job'd..

Rear pegs need a backing plate and rear resevoir hanger that one of the R1 forum guys make so I'll order them, rim tape will go and I really fancy black wheels but need a photoshop to see what it might look like.

I'll go for a Melotti tail tidy I think.

Ridden it 300 miles to work already this week.  I LOVE the engine - its fucking awesome!!!! I don't like the handling, needs setting up to me when I have the time.

A mutual friend rode Big Als two weeks ago...and he wasn't complimentary on the handling...said the front was vaque at best...did like the turn of speed...and adores the looks of the R1...and liked the size and ergonomics.

I'm going to attend an Anglesey trackday and use the suspension man there to see what he says. He supports our airfield trackdays too.

Very interested to see what the new R1 will be like next year. If it's ZX10R sharp with the crossplane motor in it, it will be a very desirable bike.

How are you coping with the riding position....?

How are you coping with the riding position....?

Not too badly. No thumb pain, wrists getting used to it. It's pretty comfy.
