Re: just ordered a R1
very nice looking bike, be sure and get her well protected fella, always carry a chain and lock and even a disc lock.. thiefs out there and i can tell you it hurts to see that empty space where it was parked....
if you get tracker be sure its very well fitted and i would suggest a secondary unit from ebay pay as you go type that you can hide as a back up..
enjoy her and good luck with the akros fella

Welcome in m8, love that colour of sausage, enjoy the bike and forum.
Lots of pipes for sale on evilbay, reckon the titanium ones look kewl. Mind you IMO anything including a 3" drainpipe would look better than the standard pipes

Re: just ordered a R1
Thanks for all the kind comments guys, already a better experience than the GSXR forum lol
In terms of security, she will live in a brick built garage with a sensor linked to the house alarm that is on 24 hours a day and also chained down to a ground anchor than i used for my MotoX bikes.
The bike is purely a Toy and is never left parked up away from home, if its a park and walk mission we go in the car lol

Re: just ordered a R1
Welcome in mate. Beautiful bike and good deal. Trust me the R1 will be like night and day compared to the GSXR. I like the TT paint job on the 750.

Re: just ordered a R1
Thanks mate, I hope it's not to much of a handful.
The TT paint job is nice, only down side is getting replacement parts when you have a off, I would never buy a limited edition bike again lol
