Well...finally

[wari]

Well wkid ... a good scientist is always prepared to change his mind ... a teacher told me that so it must be right eh?

Too flash Wkid!

It always amazes me how someone can buy a nice brand new bike like that, then only do 8000km on it. Get out there and "Clock em up" I say!
What colour are your leathers? Good excuse for a new set?
I personally arn't fond off black rims with black tyres. I'd paint the back rim blue too. Or maybe find some blue tyres. Would bring new meaning to the term " Off in a cloud of blue smoke"!

How about giving us a comparision between the R1 and the VTR?

Are you going to manfield this weekend? racing on 30th. Could be good excuse to go for a ride.

You need a good excuse to go for a ride ....?????....!

Comparo - well in all honesty there is none.  I must admit - Rubber Shredder was right when saying the R1 was a gr8 bike.

I rode the 954, GSXR1K3, ZX9, Daytona, Buell, and found the R1 to be the most wicked ride - it seemed faster and quicker to steer (not as flighty as the =<01 R1's).

Comparing with the VTR - well it does everything quicker - steers, accelerates, brakes, etc - plus it looks better.  The Micron pipe makes up for some of the lack of VTwin noise - coming down the 'Taka's yesterday it has a wicked drone.  Had to compare as they are chalk and cheese in essence.

Yes I am going to Manfield - I posted an event to ride up on the 30th.
