hiya guys/gals,
Soon to be the owner of a MY11 Black/Gold R1 with a few upgrades- Akras and adjustable levers off the top of my head, currently sitting at 4600 miles.

I havent ridden for a couple of years, my last K4 750 was stolen, and i ve been doing the fast car thing for a while (gtr/r8s), i have previously owned a 2001 R1, which i wasnt a fan of tbh.

After missing out on a couple of Bikes this past week, i managed to get a deposit on a bike yesterday before it was even listed for sale, the bikes located in wales so will be abit of a mission considering i m in london, seems to be a continuing trend that my purchases come from far and wide.

Looks like i m going to need to replace some of my gear, but my lid and gloves/boots are good to go.

i m sure i ll ask lots of silly questions, so thanks in advance.

fido
