There are two other members I know with R1s on here and I have a love for them after having 2x 1999 R1s I now have a 1098s and they still tolerate me (I think) So welcome to the forum Sounds like your bike is a beauty ..... Where's the pics ????? Quick or there will be angry pic hungry hordes after you
We don't mind what you ride, most people are considerate and wait/hold back for the R1's on a ride out
R1 owner joining !!!!!!!! Just say your thinking of buyin. Blade and we will all feel better And welcome to the forum
Chinny ,your on a slippery slope to Bladeness,you don't know it yet but you will defect.....look into my eyes. and count backwards... Mwahahaaaa !!!
Yea, a pic would be interesting ,I dont know what they look like from the side, only ever see them in my mirrors.
Hello to you all & thanks for the warm welcome, Here's a pic of the bike , but its an oldish one , but ill post an update one 2moro as I'm at work
I'm good thanks James , weather been crap as you know so I've been out locally when it has been dry. How's you & how's the bike doing??
I see them all the time, on the roadside awaiting recovery trucks. Seriously though, welcome to the forum Chinny
Welcome mate. I've only just joined and am just 2-3 miles from you and I too have an R1. In my defence though, I have recently ordered a new Blade!
Welcome, I couldn't decide R1 or Blade when I bought last year, it all came down to the test ride ! That's why I have a shiny new Blade.
