WTF, that R1 is sick. Much nicer than the newer models, the colour scheme is also nice.

I would take that R1 over a zx6 anyday! :twisted: :kuda:

zx10, r1, potayto, pohtahto.
Perhaps like others on here, he's decided his license would remain healthier if he lost a few hundred cc's off his ride?
I hope they have an excuse better than "i forgot" when you rock up to pick it up.

bike is ready (finally)
but the weather is completely shitful atm :(

the zx6 stops better, it's lighter, handles better, 8 years newer, you can crack the power on in the corner, and it looks horn :D
Lots of reason to get off an R1 I'd say :D

Well picked :D
Chris had the Bridgie's removed pre delivery and the Pirelli's fitted :)
Good news is they're fixing it under warranty and hopefully he'll get it back today.

Couldn't ask for more than that from the dealer! Ive been a little tentative on the OEM tyres but so far they havent missed a beat. Hope he's as happy with the bike as I am of mine :D
