Newbie R1 Rider! 😁

Post by Up4fun1966 »

Hiya all

Just picked up my 1998 completely remodelled R1 naked street fighter!

Just rode it home from Yorkshire to just outside of Brighton and boy what a bike! I bought a brand new Yammie MT-09 4 yrs ago, so I appreciate a fast naked street fighter but need some help as have a few concerns.

Will have plenty more to this post and would really appreciate your input!

Just want a great weekend, dry weather awesome ride!

I like it, and I'm not usually a streetfighter fan.

As Mike said, wait until Jompy sees it!
