    Remal broke his as well :( it is easily done

    I test rode the 11 R1 as I had a 99, but as much as I wanted to love it I bought the blade it is a better all round bike

    I used to live in penrith, so know you have some great roads there :)

    welcome to the forum always good to see another HRC on here, join the HRC group as well, you dont get anything for it but at least we will have another member :)

    Did you go for the VCR rearsets and what do you think of them :)

    Welcome to the mad house Rob, Shame about the fairing, I want to fit a OE high screen but thinking I might get the dealer to do. Dont forget to check out the members map when you get a mo.

    Welcome aboard Rob, shame about the fairing. I am sure you will love the bike. The R1 is a great bike but I think the blade is more usable.

    Welcome Rob, used to have CPC myself, awsome bike but as said the Blade is more useable, did you get your HRC from Lloyds Honda?
