Hi and welcome to the forum, as you have seen they are a great bunch on here - hey they even made me feel welcome when i joined :lol:

Ive made some very good friends because of this forum and there's not another forum out there like it :clap:

The 4c8 is a great bike fast as fcuk but cofortable at the same time - recon one of the best R1 made. I had the 5VY and this is similar to the 4C8 and i loved it. I would have any one of those models again from 2004 - 2008.
Me too Polar!

Welcome in mate.
See you’ve started them off on the blue, other lesser colour debate. Other questions do get answered but you'll have to ride this one out for a few weeks. Orange however, is the way to go once you’ve got a blue one!! ;) After you’ve done that flash that Dan’s on about of course. 👍🏽
Enjoy.
2012 & yellow - must be one of those anni's.

Anthony, the ackras are definitely the way to go and to also remove the cat, it sets so dam hot it can melt your leg... plus the sound when the baffles are removed... pure music...

And she will pass a quiet track day noise test .. coming out at around 100 dB so not offensively loud Image

Your right for once Steve :shock: the akras and cat only blow about 103 even without the baffles and sound sooooooo good.
