    Hello chaps. Just joined the forum. Got a black 2006 rr5 model. Lovely bike which i bought after a stint with Harley XR1200's. Owned loads of bikes over the last 20 years including 900 fireblades which were nice. The 1000 certainly goes like stink though!;) Honda Fireblade.jpg

    Nice, i reckon the gamma was a much better bike than the RD. RD was a bit crap really.

    Thanks Chaps

    Thanks everyone. Just doing the valve service on my blade at the moment. Bit of a long job, but easy enough up to now. I've taken photos and when i've done i'll post a write up which might help anyone else contemplating doing it. ;)

    Bit late from me but welcome anyway, check out my pics, Black RR5 and I previously had a 929 only one though, lol

    Mines only done 3000 miles so no major jobs yet, looking forward to your next tread?

    Cheers Folks. I'll start a thread with the valve info. Just got some new plugs after realising the work needed just to get to them. Its not worth the hassle of doing it all again at a later date. Bloody expensive those iridium plugs though, EEKS!
