I think you will love the 5VY, I’ve just bought my old one back from a mate, it now has 66,000 miles on it and still going strong.
What colour is your bike? We love pics [emoji6]
Old enough to know better.

Welcome in mate.
Awesome R1’s. Plenty of love and respect for the 5VY. I’ve got a 2013 on the road and a 04 VY for the track.
Enjoy Her and get some pics up.

Great bike are the 5vy I owned one for 13yrs! Plenty of ooomph! If you get the opportunity change the rear shock for a (serviced) ohlins, an ohlins steering damper & you'll be well away [emoji6]
