Old R1 rider!

Post by mikef4uk »

Hello,
I'm new to this forum but not to R1's, I have owned 4 R1's, one of the first 1998 bikes in blue, a 04 bike followed by a charcoal 08 and a Xplane 09
My recent bikes have been two RSV4's and currently a 1100 Aprilia Tuono Factory which is a quicker road bike than an RSV4
However, I still fancy a sportsbike and may look for an R1M :)

Welcome mate, having owned 4 R1's previously, you obviously should buy a new one!

Would be interested to hear what you think of the different models. I love my 4xv but it's not going to last forever.
