    There are two other members I know with R1s on here and I have a love for them after having 2x 1999 R1s

    I now have a 1098s and they still tolerate me (I think)

    So welcome to the forum :)

    Sounds like your bike is a beauty ..... Where's the pics ????? Quick or there will be angry pic hungry hordes after you ;)

    We don't mind what you ride, most people are considerate and wait/hold back for the R1's on a ride out ;)

    Welcome mate. I've only just joined and am just 2-3 miles from you and I too have an R1. In my defence though, I have recently ordered a new Blade!

    Welcome, I couldn't decide R1 or Blade when I bought last year, it all came down to the test ride ! That's why I have a shiny new Blade.
