Another potential R1 owner?

Post by hardatwork »

Hello everyone.

Looking at buying an R1 and came to join in and hopefully have a laugh an get some info.

Thinking of buying a 2001 R1 which looks imaculate (ain't seen it in the flesh yet!).
Will be my first Yam in years ... last was a DT crackin bike. So interested in learning abit about what to lookout for so be gratefull of any advice. (Yes.... I know what the search button is for before you say it.). :D :D

No doubt catch up with some of you along the way
