When Marty and I went and had a look, that's what he said too! :lol:

I've been a fan of these since the 98 model. I love the blue, reminds me of my ZX2R I used to scoot around on :lol:

Well, here's a bit of an update!

Some of you may know or may not know that I had a small off a few weeks back. Anyways, long story short, apparently there was frame damage to the bike which I didn't see. So, after going through all the BS of insurance claims etc, I now have another brand new R1. Just in time for WSB too!

Only thing this time, is I got a little something extra...


All I can say is that it sounds awesome! Goes a bit better too!

See you at PI!

Those cans are certainly good to look at - and to hear. Mate has em on his and the pop and crackle is like nothing else! Good score.

No thanks :) I quite enjoy riding this bike, it's more comfortable for me to sit on for longer distances than the 10. I should've taken a pic of the actual damage, there wasn't much. But, if they wanna give me a new bike, then why not! :lol:

Bike looks sick congrats. I prefer the black, but yammies always look good in blue. If you only do one more thing to it, make sure it's a fender eliminator. Sweet ride!!

Cheers! Yes, a fender eliminator is on the way. Just need to sort out a few other things first! I LOVE the way the pipes sound, and I'm sure most of the Sooper Doopers mob heard em too :lol:

Do the pipes come in a mens version ? cause the R1 is a girls bike and mens accessories must be hard to come by .. :P

BTW, where is your matching blue handbag with racing stripes ?
