Hi all
am new to the forum my name is Mark.
Been riding big bikes for about 14 years and had a supersports for 12 of them
4 different Fireblades including my current 17 plate, I also had a dedicated track bike which was a 2003 R1 ex BSB Superstock. I worked as a trackday instructor for a year, unfortunately the company went bust.
Up to now I have preferred Honda's for road bikes but recently bought a Yam MT 10SP as I no longer need a full on touring bike, just something's to commute on and take the wife as pillion, Honda had nothing that floated my boat but the MT10 certainly does
I am so impressed with the MT10 I'm looking at selling the blade and getting an R1
I have some questions you might be able to help me with but will start a new thread in General chat

Welcome in Mark
I do like the look of those MT10's
I take it your after one of the newest model R1's ?
Enjoy the forum buddy and nice intro

Hi Mark, MT10 are quite a bit different to the R1, they’re like distant cousins in comparison, but test ride and you’ll see for yourself

Welcome to the forum Mark, nice introduction

We have loads of trackdayers on here, indeed I used to be one, and an ex racer now riding coach in our own PJC .

I have the latest R1 and she is a beautiful bike to ride, indeed, perhaps the easiest one I’ve ever had, which is good for me as I no longer commute on the bike, so don’t ride it regularly.

I used to have hondas years ago, great bikes, but sadly never a blade, R1’s caught my attention and I went down that route.

I’ve tried the MT10, great bike as Red says. See if you can blah a test ride on an R1 for a day, you might like it, then again you might not.

Anyway welcome and it doesn’t matter what bike you ride, all bikers are welcome here
