Its now worth 10% more when it gets traded in due to being 'magazine featured' lol.

Nice work, carbon is lush

Its a fun track to ride, but you don't get out of 4rd on the R1, no long straights or long fast corners, more suited to 400's or SM imho.....

...instead of dragging the 4XV out, having one of these is the most fun you can have under 60mph on twisty back roads....
