Welcome, Aidy

5VY?

[jompy]

43 old ! You'd best piss off to another forum mate

Welcome in Aidy
Hope you enjoy the forum and the R1
Which model is it ? Is it the 5vy first of the twin underwear exhaust or is it a late registered 5pw first of the injection models ?
Get some pics up

[Rasman73]

Yeah it’s the letterbox model with side exhaust but registered on 04 I’ll put some pics up when I’ve worked out how to lol is it still a good bike or am I missing out on the 04-06 upgrades and power

Welcome Aidy, we need pics of your new ride!

It's still a fucking great bike mate , yes it is different to the 5vy as the 5vy engine was a different beast but you will love the 5pw .
If you want to post direct from your smartphone then Tapatalk is great or I use postimage.org to host my pics but you don't need to have an account with them although it is handy , upload your pic and copy the direct link , post the link and then highlight the link as if you were going to copy it , while it's highlighted click on the Img tab or it maybe a little pic of a tree that will sit above where you type your thread .
To see what your image link should look like before you post , underneath my post with the pic click on QUOTE and you'll see how I've posted my pic

Old git

Age has some advantages, just can't remember what they are

If you call pain and lack of tolerance advantages thereof be it
