Another newbie

Post by SimonR115 »

HELLO everyone :D

been lurking here for a while until my new Yamaha Purchase came through, but will say hello now becasue deposit now paid on a new R1, lets hope it doesn;t get to many recalls ;) picking up Dec or early Jan

will be first Yamaha since 1976 RD200 lol :o yes I am an old fart (50's) but hey, once a biker, always a biker :D

Coming from a few years on a Honda Firablade, will be good to see how the Yamaha's compare.

I do lots of tracks day a year (when possible) and will be nice to see how the Yam R1 is on track :D

my last ride was this Honda (RR5) so the new R1 will be a nice increase in power.

Hope to see some of you on track or the road at some point?

Welcome to the forum Simon, don't mind Bub, he is a short arse and he always gets everyone's name mixed up. Quite a few of us are in our 50's so I guess that makes the R1 the mature riders choice :lol:

Anyway welcome and enjoy your new toy when she arrives, your blade is a good bike, but the R1 will blow your mind away :D

Oh and :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: for posting a pic in your first post, nice one :D

Welcome
