Welcome to the forum Andrew and a couple of beautiful R1's you have there. I know from your profile that you like tanks, well the 14b steers a bit like a tank but when you get the hand of them they are great, however the 2015 model is light years ahead and a fantastic bike to ride.

So welcome to the mad house, I hope you have a good sense of humour as you will need one on here , join in with the banter, give as good as you get and have a good old laugh along the way.

Oh and cracking opening post, we love to see pics of new members bikes so 10 out of 10 for that post :clap: :clap:

Welcome

Stephen :D

Cheers Stephen, yeah i quite like the 14b for its weighty handling it was a laugh to ride but like you say the 15 is completely different sounds a bit different too but love it so far

I have been lucky enough to test ride the 2015 bike fir two and a half days, it reminds me of my little R6 but with a ballistic missile up its arse, it's as light and clickable as the R6 but the power is mind blowing and best of all it delivers it in such a controlled way, it really is a beautiful bike to ride, I have one on order fir March :D

So is the here any chance of you starting a thread in the non bike section or gallery & showing us some pics of your collection please ? In fact if you're restored any you could do a thread in the projects section ;)
