Welcome in dude, buy a fully loaded bike and enjoy all that is on offer here and on two wheels. Scum bags they are but at least your now heading for Yam heaven 8-)

Couldn't agree more, however I would have em shipped tae Helmand first and dumped right in the middle off it, if they make it too a safe base then they could be given too the Afghan Polis tae em PUNISH haha, fuggin ragheads love a bit off ass so they do!!!!
Welcome too R1 world mate, im sure you will love the 14b its one individual bike so it is!!!

Welcome in mate. Take a 14B for a good long test ride first. Once you to grips with it you will love it. Get one with cans on it as the Akrapovics are over £1k! Wish I had. :(
