New To the Jap Bike World

Post by t4laggy »

Hi all ,

Arr I've finally shaking the Ducati Habit after owning many Dukes over the Years . Decided it was time to change to something different but still wanted a different sound. So I Decided to get myself a R1 Big Bang 2010 . . Shes Just coming up to 0800 miles and i must say I love it.

Have a Carbon set of Yoshi's on there and I think its Time for a De cat and tweek..

If anyone is close to Guildford always up for a ride out.. :D

Welcome Christopher, hope you enjoy the R1 as much if not more than the Italian stallions, we love pics no matter what bike or bird for that matter.

Enjoy the site 8-)

Welcome to the forum Chris, it's a great place for advice and getting the p!ss taken out of you, but hay we all share one thing... We love Yamaha's. Nice looking R1 and the colour matched ps the car.... Cool. Love the cans btw bet they sound great. I would get rid of the cat, you will get third degree burns off it in the summer, but it is nice n warm for winter riding.

Enjoy your new toy.
