hello from devon

Post by carlos1982 »

not one for introductions! but here goes
been riding for about 3 years now, and just took delivery of my newest bike last night, a 1998 r1 in blue, and in almost original condition.
This is my third bike, 1st was a 1996 suzuki bandit 600n, 2nd was and still is my honda vtr1000 firestom (i do love the twin) and ofcourse now to keep her company, the r1 :twisted:

Welcome Carl, inline 4 screamer will be a nice change from the twin, hope you enjoy the top end thrill and ride her at 8k and above. Ride her like a manic 2 stroke to enjoy the best she has to offer

hope you get the right clutch lever as when i got my TiTax levers i was sent the thicker lever but had the thinner perch , so in case of future problems i just bought the thicker perch off Ebay so now i have both :)
