Welcome John!
I think you will love the 5VY, I’ve just bought my old one back from a mate, it now has 66,000 miles on it and still going strong.
What colour is your bike? We love pics

Welcome in mate.
Awesome R1’s. Plenty of love and respect for the 5VY. I’ve got a 2013 on the road and a 04 VY for the track.
Enjoy Her and get some pics up.

Great bike are the 5vy I owned one for 13yrs! Plenty of ooomph! If you get the opportunity change the rear shock for a (serviced) ohlins, an ohlins steering damper & you'll be well away
