Hi and welcome.

Great bunch of guys and girls on here you will find it better than most forums. It's a bit quiet this time of year though.

What R1 do you have and we need pics🖒

Hi jompy
I’ve ridden a couple of bikes the R1 and the M. I take it the 2CR is the standard one? Looking forward to tracking it. Don’t mind Andy or Andrew.

Welcome to the forum Andrew, you won’t be disappointed with your purchase, the 2CR and M are both excellent bikes, a real joy to ride.

Post up some pics when she arrives

Oh and join in the banter, have a giggle and if a thread gets hijacked just join in.. we are always going off topic on here... actually I think we all have difficulty concentrating .. or something like that... what was I saying....

Oh and pictures help those of us that can’t read

Anyway welcome

Stephen

Nice bike, the black ones are the fastest :D

I have the same bike and did the same as you are.
You got anything in mind yet what you're going to do yet??

To begin with Brembo master cylinder and hel lines do away with abs. Decent set of brake pads. Gb racing engine covers etc. Domino quick action throttle. Fairings probably crc. Pipewerx link and can. Maybe a k-tech shock, might ride it first with standard or are they not upto much?
