I prefer them because when I open the bike and remove the tank I know what the bits are... also keeps costs down for me as I self service.... Fnar fnar.... Welcome nice bike...
Riding an R1 is a little like poking a hibernating bear up the arse with a stick, when you doing it, its great fun but when you get caught out it will f**k you up!
