only took 14 months to find.......

 

[Chris666]

Doesn't stay clean long

Took mine to car and coffee. One of the guys there took a photo of me on the way out, strange to have a photo of yourself on the bike!

It was colossally brown after this though so it got a damn good bath and tucked up again!

They're a great looking thing on the road for all I saw of it

That would be doing my head in... Does no harm to experience the conditions, generally.

Early birthday pressie for upcoming tourings. Looks handy enough to fit so it may become my commuting mule. Comes with a lovely fluoro yellow condom for wet days and a shoulder strap for the "man bag" hipster look

Gave mine a clean and a polish at the weekend - put shorter levelers on it but that was after i cleaned it lol!

Already my favourite sound of any bike on the road. It must sound absolutely epic with that exhaust.

They're a nice colour when they're stripped beside the bike. But they don't seem to tie in well with it when they're on it. Lovely bike though

Yea exactly my thoughts just hope I’m making the right decision only time will tell.

ThNks guys, hopefully nicer after I get the wheels back

Rode it Some lovely resurfaced coast road to play on but loads of people in those 4 wheeled cage looking things got in the way

 

[warren]

Also went on mine! First time the R1 has been out since October.

Forgot how ludicrously ballistic it is. What a machine.

 

[Chris666]

Cracking day for it(TF for inner sun visor), forecast looks to pick up next week

 

[warren]

Happy days! Might even take it into work then

I'm still in shock about how quick it is. Ive owned the bike almost 4 years now, and every time I get on it having not ridden it for a while I'm just in awe. Its literally like having infinity horsepower on the road. Pulled out of the petrol station onto the carriageway today, just let it smoothly sail unto 70mph in 2nd like its not even trying, then just click it up into 6th and cruise up the road.

No one needs a thou superbike but I feel its important you try one at some stage Theres just nothing like it.

Ah I’m itching to get home and ride this BMW ffs! Less than 2 weeks to go til I’m home!

Have bought a few bits for the bike an all so it’ll be coming into the house to get them fitted and a coat of wax before I hit the road(hopefully not literally this time)

Are they going gold? I hope so, would be a good look I think.
