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!

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.

i dont see how this would help

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
Lots of reason to get off an R1 I'd say

Not considering you can loose you license on the ZX6 before you even change to second

First trip out today..
and with 160km on the odo it's blown a fork seal (and we were taking it quite easy )

oh no! that sux...

back to the dealer we go

after all that waiting!

hope they give him a loaner

160km, wow... Talk about premature failure.

Geez that sucks!

Either way that bike is haawwwwt!

they coming stock with pirellis now tanya? or did you guys get em put on as special?

Well picked
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.

Back today - that's really quick!

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

You should get a matching one Tanya!

you shithead Dave
I have to test ride yet, contract is subject to that
(chris won't get his back till tomorrow now )
