    well I've bought a new r1 today in blue. Comes with a tail tidy and akro . Picking her up Friday. Sold my Road blade and trackbike so feels odd. Going to be using the r1 on the track and road but primary will be track so slowly ill try and add some nice bits.

    Got my sp1 and low mileage 954 which will get the odf run out to keep me Honda :).


    I'll try and give some honest reviews of the bike as I use it. Write ups are phenonminal and if I'm honest I've been blown away up to press and still not thrown a leg over of it

    Fantastic, wasn't too keen on seeing the first pics of the new bike, but it's a great looking bike in the flesh/metal.
    Enjoy all the new fangled electronic bits :D

    Ok ok... Leave the dash off. But I want ktech God damn it!!!! ;)

    On a serious note, awesome mate, can't wait to see what folk say about them in the real world...

    I was zx10 bound for 2016 but with new front end in mine and few tweaks, and being off the pace a bit this year... I might squeeze out next year on a blade (sorry folk but it's a better bike than me still but showing its age imo)

    Then wait till the new R1's filter through superstock and bag a prepped one.







    Or your that hasn't even been raced ;)
