Hi All,

I Have just go myself a 2004 with 7500mls on the clock.

Looking forward to the nicer weather coming to get out and enjoy her and hopefully using your guy's experience if/when needed.

Thanks. :D

Thanks for the welcome, never owned yamaha's before so hoping I've made a good choice, previous bikes were a fireblade and zx9r.

Hi George, welcome, love the lava red 5vy( sorry I asked you which model you had in your post re furry nuts, what a dope I am, didn't see this post :roll: ) the 5vy is a cracking bike, I did over 65k miles on mine :D

Liking the garage floor, more tasteful than mine, fir some mad reason I used red tiles fir my yamaha speed blocks, but the white, they are a bugger to keep clean and the car tyres stain them... humm.... how do you keep yours so white?

Anyway welcome

Stephen :D

I'd love to take the credit for the floor and the garage but that was where I bought the bike from I'm afraid :)

Thanks for the welcomes.

Thanks guys, now just to read this forum and see what I can do to improve the looks and performance and sound.

First on the list will be to change the screen for a black/dark tinted one, then possibly look at exhaust options.
