Welcome in Matt


When you say Purple.....................i take it your trying to man up the Pink framed model

[welshmattR1]

pink/purple either way think it's stunning.

i'll be putting up pictures/videos as soon as she is in my possession should be in a few weeks.

Pink Pink Pink, its all good in my world welcome and enjoy the bike the info and of course the fun

Hi and welcome in mate. Don't listen to all the red framed haters, you've made the right choice. The white/silver/red combo is such an understated colour scheme which IMO made it an obvious choice. The 14B takes a wee bit of getting used to but stay with it. Enjoy.

Hi mate it's my first 1000cc tbh I was expecting it to be faster BUT don't think I took it over 8000RPM it doesn't like negotiating roundbouts at slow speed either seemed really juddery but I'm getting decat filter and power commander which I think will help. Plus me and the lads are off to Europe with focused events really get to she what she does over there.

I know what you are talking about, I had the exact same issues as you. Took it out for a test ride and thought this is great and a month later wanted to get rid of it! Really had to adjust my riding style as every junction and roundabout I must of looked like a learner lol. Just be easy with the clutch and drop a gear if you can and everything will smooth out. You WILL love it.

Matt there's been a lot of posts on the love/hate relationship with the 14b , I'm sure a lot have said flashing them can make a big difference , take a look in the forum

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum, don't think i've heard anyone call it purple before, its Pink man

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum, don't think i've heard anyone call it purple before, its Pink man

Only a man uncertain of his sexuality would do that surly
Welcome in bud I'm just outside yeovil shepton originally and go down to the Hunters Lodge meet on occasions

[Damo666]

cheers lads.

so south west lads do meet then, really looking forward to that. I think it could be love with me and my 14B

the purple frame. haha.

I've already got some cash for decat/pc 5 and air filter so hopefully get that done quick as possible.

not picking her up for another 3 weeks mind the wait is killing me not that I'll be able to ride it with the weather.
