    Hello everyone. Just got rid of my Yamaha R6 (do I need to spit immediately after saying that name round here?) and have put the deposit down on a 2004 1000RR.

    I'll post pics as soon as I actually get my sweaty mitts on it and am looking forward to poncing lots of free advice and tips from you all :D

    Is is free........right?? :(

    I'd reckon that I'll have it by the end of next week. I bloody hope so. I'll be sure to give it a wash before presenting it to the forum.

    .......and the bike as well :D

    Certainly are, mate. That's kinda why I've gone down the RR route. I want something that doesn't require having its neck wrung and a cup of muscle relaxants after every ride.

    Shit front end too. Mine was a 2000 model and no matter what I did I just couldnt get any proper feeling from it. Went round corners ok, just blind faith, lol. Read an article that said if ya get the (standard yammy) can down, you've crashed. It was true! Excuse for a scorpion one tho...

    Same as mine. Well mine was a 2001 but yeah, same bike. I've found the same problem. It's really flickable and it feels fine in the corners IF the road's smooth. Any slight imperfection in the road surface and you cross your fingers and pray :D
