Afternoon all

Some of you already know from the old R1 forum :greetings-wavingblue: . Finally back on an R1, 99 4VX instead of the 5VY. For those of that you who dont know me, I am Kat based on Southampton. This is my 3rd R1 and 4th bike, first bike was CBR600 and R1's ever since.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

PJC, its nice to be back :D.

POD, not far at all I am in Hedge End. But my husband is always working in Winchester so were often up there pricing etc. The 4VX is a much nicer ride, smooth and my body seems to just fit it better (if that makes any sense :eusa-shifty: ). I loved the looks of the 5VY but never really enjoyed riding it and neither did hubby.

Steve R1, have no idea hun its the pick taken when it was purchased :think:

Jompy, thanks oh she although I will be making a few tweeks...it has to be done. Matts having a bobber built at Attitude Customs which should be ready at the end of the month.

Am I that memorable :shifty: Yeah, it been a rough few yrs and being without a bike has been really hard. Nothing like getting on your bike and going out for a blast when sh!t hits the fan. Just wish the 4VX looked a bit more like the 5VY, its a great looking bike but my 5VY was :romance-hearteyes:

Thanks again guys. Jompy once its ready I am sure he wont mind me posting a few, he fancied something different after 20+Yrs on sportbikes. Its going to be quite a personal bike, both myself and Matts dad have made little contributions (his dad isnt too well).
