Hi from Birmingham

Post by martR1 »

Hi all, just bought a 2010 R1 14B.

Traded in a 2010 1050 Speed Triple (had no intentions of swapping but i saw the R1 in my local Triumph dealer and it was the right colour scheme for me, right mileage, right mods and after a test ride...well here i am!).

Mods are Akra carbon cans, flush mount indicators, integrated indicators/rear light and since i've owned it it's now got an R&G tail tidy and a Termi de-cat pipe is in the process of being installed (ECU is also en route to be flashed by Mike at VeloxRacing).
