On April Fools I got a call from the dealer. They told me they got their first 2015 R1 out on the showroom floor. After the trouble I had with my last bike, the Ducati 1199 I was ready to abandon Europe (for now) and jump back on something from the land of the rising sun.
First came the Raven... Result: Stolen
Then came the Team Blue & matte grey... Result: head on collision with a Suburban SUV
And finally the 60th Anniversary edition... Result: WTF could possibly happen next.
Of the 3 color schemes I gotta say the Yellow of the 60th is extremely eye popping:icon_eek: I love everything except that eye sore number plate decal on the nose fairing.
I've never had such dumb luck with a particular bike, but these New R1's are worth the trouble.
