My new R1...finally

[Unit:Me]

So. Is the 14 on the "soon to be sold" list? Knowing how much you like this bike, would an R1 be able to replace it?

The 14 is on the keep it till we kill it then rebuilt to whatever we like list. There is no point selling the 14, I dont want to realise the depreciation, and next year I can affort to add another bike to the garage. The R1 is also a keeper we believe, and the zx6r is in the garage to stay too. All three bikes are awesome in their own right, now we just want to add to what we have, which we will do next year.

I also have a kwaka 6hundy, but in my case it is all over the garage, not in it!

Superb!
Great to hear all of this. It is certainly good news to hear that sportbike owners will hold onto a loved bike.

Might sound like an odd question but what's it like on fuel consumption? My FZ1 used pretty much the same as the 14 does, hungry wee pig it was, just wondering if the big bang set up has changed the penchant for 1000cc Yamaha's to drink gas?

TBH it's a hard one for me to comment on as I've run it in in an assertive manner. 1st set of tyres lasted less than 1500kms
What I do know is that it's a shit load cheaper on gas than what the 1098S was
I'm off on a week long tiki tour next week and was hoping to take the R1 but it looks like the ZX14 may be a better option as I've just thrown some SC1 and SC2 tyres on the R1 which would last all of 1000kms
