    Black 1 looks ok. Just wish they would leave the red gas charge for the forks as they have them green on the black model.

    A good friend of mines got that one coming in a few weeks! the joys of working at a Kawaski dealership! They already have the TT bike being prepped! ... Let's just say it's making some amazing power and some real good gains from the previous model! .... Will keep you updated with some pics anytime soon....

    The problem i have with Chris "The Baron" is that he isn't a very good track rider so take his advice with a pinch of salt...

    He's not that bad Matt, but to be fair he was slowing me up at Oulton last year as can be seen in this Vid but I chickened out of passing him in case it all went Tits up and I ended up all over Youtube as the 'TrackDay Hero' who took out the Baron!
    Alistair Faigan was there too that day along with the Barons GF Joanna F Benz on her BMWS1000RR!

    Just been speaking to a few friends including Chris, Arthur and Steve.
    Getting seriously tempted to place the £500 deposit on the R1M !!!

    Just spoke to a dealer today who offered £1300 off the 2016 RSV4 RF, which makes it £1750 cheaper than the R1M.

    Is the R1M worth an extra £1750 over the RSV4?

    Never thought that this would be such a difficult descision.

    If only I could test ride both bikes!!!

    Got to think about what it'll cost long term and trade in though mate? I'd bet M still be cheaper....

    Must be a tough call though, think I'd really struggle with the choice and spending that much without being able to test em o_O

    I'd be persuaded more towards the R1m but after watching this vid of the RSV it makes a hard decision.

    Must watch... The sound is unreal!
