had a call from my son to tell me has been down at Brighton Kawasaki, and has booked himself down for a test ride on this
which means he may no longer have to ride this
I may even let him park it in the driveway, long as I hold the keys

Some of those pianos pass me like I
was standing still on the track.
The Big K might feel a bit trucklike after the R1.
Soon go away though
My offspring do the Pink Hyundai Exel thing what
can I say
(is he married?)

well, he rode the 14 and the 10, and is seriously considering the 10, it's 35kg lighter, and more in tune with the way he likes to ride ..... and no he's not married, his ex wife told him the bike went or she did, he decided the bike was cheaper to own and operate, and never gets a headache

That was the best paintjob for the R1... Too bad they got rid of it in .... uhm... 2001?.... Which makes the earlier bikes really easy to spot.....
I would stick with the R1 .... I like sports bikes...

that R1 even tho its 2001, the bike looks alright but the paint job makes it looks 1980's esp the fonts like "YZF" and the R1 on the back looks like a young child has drawn that on!

It's not a 2001 model, it's a 99, it's mint, it can be an evil bastard to ride, and will advertised in Motorcylce Trader very soon.
Neka, how can you say it's a poxy paint scheme, look what Honda did with the blades of the same era.
