Hi all.

Post by Spares »

New to the forum.
I have a Mistral grey R1 5VY 04 which I bought new in 2005. Been all over Europe on it touring inc the Ring several times. It's totally standard and still looks almost new despite having 35000 miles under it's tyres. Looking forward to getting back on the road when we're allowed out again, this virus is cocking up my plans !!

Welcome to the forum Mark, with 35k mikes on the clock your 5vy as you say, is still like new, not even a third of the way through her life, my 5vy did over 65,000 miles in just under three years, she she was still going strong she was an amazing bike.

Post up some pics of her please

Join in the banter and laugh among with us. Some of our threads are a tad strange at the moment, I think we are all missing riding in lockdown... but join in

Welcome

Stephen
