Hi guys!

Post by Cataclysm »

Just picked myself up a cheap R1 4XV track bike, originally registered in 2000. Thought I would sign up here incase I need any useful pointers later on!

Be careful what you ask for! 8-)

You'll get so many useful pointers on here that you won't have time to ride the bike! :mrgreen:

There's no such thing as a "normal" biker.

That's great! I've been riding bikes since I was 16 owning a Honda CG125 :D and passed my test in 97, I've owned several bikes including a YBR125, a couple of GSXR SRAD 750's one of which I still own (It's a minter!) a CBR600F, a Bandit 600, Fazer 600 and now this 4XV track bike! I've not done any track days for a little while now and wanted to get out and wear through some more knee sliders in the relative safety of a track! I didn't want to risk damaging my GSXR (kinda scuffed my CBR600 a bit at Donington Park in 99 arsing about a bit and letting my confidence overtake my ability!) so wanted something purely for this purpose! Came across this fairly locally so picked it up. :dance:

Cheers mate, Very little to be honest other than race fairings, seat unit, a Predator exhaust and some decent tyres! It does have a weeping fork seal so those are the first job to sort! :roll:

I like to tinker with bikes (and my cars too for that matter) just as much as I enjoy riding!
