Hello from sunny Scotland!!
Hi all,I'm Andy and I'm the proud owner of a 2011 r1 big bang. I have been into motorbikes for a lot of years and the majority have been Suzuki but always loved Yamaha. [emoji1]

Cheers guys for the welcome. Really loving every moment on the crossplane. I'll dig out some of my pics and get them posted. Yamaha defo has the advantage over Suzuki without a doubt for me anyway guys.

Welcome in Andy. Where are you from, I'm just outside Glasgow. Like yourself I was a Suzuki man but made the step up to Yamaha. Loved all my Suzukis but the 14B is something else.

Cheers guys. I live in Montrose,wee town up on the east coast. First time i ever heard a 14b let alone see one i told myself i need one of those haha. Yeah absolutely correct pre tc model as its 2011. It's an absolute pleasure to ride although it has almost caught me out on a couple of occasions [FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR]

What a gorgeous looking bike you had there [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]. Originally wanted a black/gold one but ended up with the one I've got and a much better deal too.
