Well i finaly decided to do it, so i have!

I collected my 2004 R1 tuesday and it's fantastic!

Had full titanium akrapovic fitted, gilles rearsets and an ohlins damper.

Can i still stay in your club or do i have to go now

Have been quite tempted by the black/silver myself - very, very spaceage and very, very trick. All that black anodising really does look sexy!

Orf with his head!

New R1 does look great, but another Ducati rip off with those cans.......

Thanks

I just appreciate the design of the bike for what it is. Every so often you get something that comes along and you think "hey, that's nice", even though you might not ever want to own one...

I've gone off the Gixxer Thou now that they've redesigned the headlights to be more Eye-Abusa like. The old (original) ones were much nicer and more racer looking.

There are some nice aspects of the new Blade, but it just seems to be watered down *again* from the original Urban-Tiger paint-worked hooligan machine of old.

And the ZX10 is that god-awful green

Don't wanna p on your bonfire but I have seen few posts about a gearbox problem with 2004 R1s on the MCN site. Don't know if there is anything in it. The problem is allegedly with 2nd gear and causes the box to seize!!

If i had to defect it would be to the green ZX10...very sweet

...and thankfully K resisted the temptation to produce a dogs dinner of the underseat pipes unlike the rest of them!
