Hey all, Just joined, thought Id say hi :D

Bit of history, I went from an FZR400, to an R6(2000) to an R1(2004) to another R1(2009)
Tracked the '04 R1 which I sold a couple of years ago and bought an '09 Blade trackbike (sorry!!)

I still have the blade, but have decided to sell it and im now looking for a 15/16/17 R1 for track only.

I'll be asking loads of questions soon about what to buy (track ready or road and convert myself) so thought Id best join and get involved

Couple of pics
My old R1 (The Mrs riding it, she wont ride hers on track, doesnt want to scratch it!)

My current bike, hopefully to be replaced by a new R1 very soon!

Welcome Paul

You have come to the right place, great bunch of people here and a large knowledge base everyone is happy to share

I'm sure we can forgive the blade since you are going to sell it ;)

Shame the 04 had to go but all's well that ends well. Good luck with the new buy.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum,

This is a great forum with great members so you should like it here.

Nice Blade mate - nothing wrong with a decent Honda but i do prefer R1s and i suspect you do if you are thinking about getting shot of a decent Blade like you have.

Anyway hope you end up with what you want mate.

Welcome in mate. The blade looks good, but a new R1 will be fun.
