My new '04 Yamaha R1.

Only went for a nosy around DK motorcycles at Stoke on Saturday as I was bored. Somehow brought this. Then had to break it to the handbrake (misses). Pick it up Saturday
Traded my old 1 in

The new 1




Happy days

 

SICK DUDE

 

Very very nice

 

i love it
i am going to be a "born again" biker when i can afford one
always loved the R1 but never owned one

 

very nice

 

So you can combine bikes and VW campers, phew.............. :-

Mines a 1300 Pan so more pipe and slippers than head down ass up, but she can get a move on when pressed

 

That is sweet. Already been a born again biker once, not sure what comes after that

 

As a youth I had motorbikes and did all the meetings and rallies, after a few close shaves I knocked them on the head, two years ago three of my middle aged mates turned up on big powerful modern superbikes, we all said your nuts and to be careful, two weeks later there was only two of them left and they sold their bikes immediately

 

Until I bought the bay I used to be a track day addict, went all over Europe looking for my next fix, haven't done one for a couple of years now, but I am getting the itch again.

Thinking......

 

Thanks chaps. It is abit of a monster. Dyno'd up at 197bhp. 47bhp more than my currant R1 and that still try's wheelie in 4th gear..... Shhhhhiiiiiiiit

 

That is stunning dude.

Here's my old one. Taken the soft route since, I now have a speed triple 955i.

 

My bike.

 

Real sweet, that IS clean! Always liked the 12R.

 

WARNING!
Stay away from DK motorcycles. There is a force field around it that wont let you out without a bike. I got caught by it a few years back and was forced to ride bikes with a silly grin for years. You have been warned.

 

Bike shops are dangerous places for wallets. My mate has been trying to persuade me to test ride a BMW S1000R for over a year now in the certain knowledge that if i do i will have to buy one.
