Classic

Nice bike...Congrats

Congrats, I can't help but love this bike, my first R1 was bought in spring of 98, I originally wanted the blue but the magazine reviews and such made me go back to the dealer and say 'I don't care if it comes in shit brown, I want one!' thus I rode away with the red seated bastard, which has now become my favorite. The money you've decided to spend on it is soo well worth it, you could never be happing trading it in for a 2020.

Absolutely gorgeous bike Blu!!! One of the best around :fact

I am new to the form thing. Is the bike pictured yours? If it is, all I can say is WOW! Reading the long list of parts is cool and all.

I just hade to take a min and say, Great job and money well spent. She is truly a beautiful bike. Thank you for sharing her.

to answer your p.m, the clear green line is ten kate racing line. i just changed it with the new master. it goes cloudy after a while, so it needs regular changing.
there are clear lines ( yoyo' brembo i think) that some say don't sweat or discolor, but i like the clear green look.
oh yeah, my fluid is clear castrol srf fully synthetic.
it is the best, but be sitting down when you research the price of it!:flex::tocoo::lol

Nice thanks bud. The brakes on my bike are terrible. worst I ever had. If i ride for a half hour my lever pulls a significant amount more than when my brakes are cold. That is just normal riding in town or highway no hard braking at all. So i think i'll start with some braided lines and real fluid to see if it helps that.

Did you come across an amazing deal on the master or find it used? Curious why you would go that far before switching out the cast gold lines?

Badass. I'm glad the writer actually captured how important this bike is and didn't just ramble off the specs and re-write a review of the 98 R1. It was really well done.

mine's "unstained condition" and has more frequent flyer miles :hammer:

Wishing I had a copy of Rapid with your R1 featured BlurR1. Would love to have had a read and dream of pimping my 98 (not to the same extent as I would need to rob a bank). Can you order back issues??

Its well worth calling rapid bikes and ask if they can get u a copy, its a vey inspiring read.

I don't think I ever mentioned Blu, I met the editor of Rapid Bike in France, Jeff Ware. Proper nice bloke and he remembered your bike well ;)

ahh, i prefer the longer sleeker r1 lines.:fact

Yup. I just meant the upper and headlights. They're both sleek as hell, but I think it would make the bike that much more unique.

na, i like the longer r1 headlights when on an r1.
the r7 stuff looks good on an r7.

Not to go OT here, but why cant I dl fotos from the forum anymore. I have to do a screen shot then use iPhoto to render them?

Showing some friend duc and MV riders and they are totally frothed over your bike and new cali's.

what system does it use?

After reviewing your bike for the bazillionth time I can finally say it has eclipsed MartinC's IMO :bow

Nah I heard that the seat doesn't fit and the subframe has holes in it... :vanish

lol. hold up on the holes as i've been reshaping the tank and seat again.

i ran out of light.

i just put in 2 long titanium bolts that hold the engine in.

Don't worry, it'll only be another decade or two before you have electric lighting...




Glad it's sounding like good news on the tank front ;) :thumbup

Question for Blur... FYI your inbox is full... But the tires have a colored Michelin Logo on them... Is that a decal or does it come like that when you bought the tire?

sorry mate. my inbox is 355 messages over 100%.
to answer your question. that is a factory released pressure sensitive transfer that they give to race teams only.
i have/had a contact here with the michelin race teamguy that got them for me.
they are the same as rossi used when he ran with michelin.
they are not avaliable to the general public.

:):):)

Hmm okay... Damn those looks sick... Are they basically a track tire then?

Hmm okay... Damn those looks sick... Are they basically a track tire then?
no. the tyres are just street tyres. it's the decal i got from the michelin guy.:thumbup
the decal will go on any tyre.:fact

Just in case anyone is still keen to hear/see this bike.

At a guess it'd be to stop random shit going down the pipe.

Looks bad ass... I like it much better than I did with blue and cf tank. It all looks like it belongs.

Just need the undertail now.

Who made the panels?

looks even better, see he also got the Ti kickstand completed and mounted, the attention to detail visible & invisible is insane, one of my all time favorite R1's :bow

The only thing 'wrong' with it would be the twill goes in many different directions. But, yes, it's a cool bit of gear.
