Well... OK, just 1 more... just one last R1 hey.
I was looking over R1's, mostly 5VY's for Mrs Weeksy recently for her track bike and my garage beauty. But to be honest, despite the fact I love the looks, I never really got on with the last one as well as the earlier models. Add to this the fact that the older ones are more 'me' and the 5VY's are £4000, the decision was made to purchase an older model.
After an extensive search and a few decisions, chats and ideas... I've bought this....
The kind and ace Mr OCD is going in tomorrow to give it a once over and pay the remainder of the cash.
It needs a valet, but as you know, that's my thing anyway, so I'm not worried about that.
Have to say, it's properly exciting to again be having the old school R1... I really shouldn't have flogged the last one I bought from Couchie.
Due to the crashing at Wales yesterday I won't be picking it up for a while, but i'll be really interested to hear what OCD thinks of it when he collects and test rides it
