just sold the superduke as I wanted to go back to a sports bike
... believe it or not but the duke was 9yrs old and 4.5k on the clocks
I like the v twins but it was too much wind blast at speed ,
from memory the blue r1 was a 99 , with 3" off the screen top , bar raisers and straight bars due to the previous owner having a bad back .

welcome in mate...
Riding an R1 is a little like poking a hibernating bear up the arse with a stick, when you doing it, its great fun but when you get caught out it will f**k you up!
