Re: New 5JJ owner

Thanks guys it seems a friendly forum, I've spent a lot of time over on the 400 grey bike forum as I've got a FZR track bike.
I've decided to get an R1 as I've always wanted one and thought I'd do it when I saw this one. :dance:

New 5JJ owner

Hello chaps i've just signed up after buying a really nice blue R1 5JJ last weekend.
Done about 90 miles on it so far and it's great although my neck and wrists are a bit sore as I'm used to a TRX 850..
They go well don't they? :shock:
