Hi dan,
That's very brave of you
. The r1 is my second "big" bike. I started off with a 650 and can say with a 100 percent confidence that I would have had a massive high side if I had made the mistake I made riding the 650 on the r1
That said, you have a great bike....enjoy

Re: newbie
haha, yeah didn't really want to get a R1 as a first bike. The bike was my dad's and its been stood in the garage for the last 5 years!!! managed to talk my dad into letting me have it as i didn't have cash available to purchase an R6. Been riding for 2 weeks now and really have a feel for the bike. Just taking it steady for now as there are so many clueless drivers about.

Re: newbie
Welcome in Mate, you are braver man than me. That said closest thing to an R1 when I passed my test was probably a GPZ900R
As others have said just take it easy.
