Welcome to the forum Paul, cracking opening post :clap: and congratulations on getting an R1M, a few of us on here are also waiting for ours, with a bit if luck I should be picking mine up on the 12th April :D . I'm not too far from you, Warrington, so I guess we have the chance to see another R1M on the road :D .

We are all getting a bit excited now, and buying up all sorts to personalise our M so come on, start a new thread and tell us what you are planning to do to yours and which YRE you are going on :D

Welcome

Stephen

It was good fun, until it oiled the plugs! Lol
Then you spent the next 3 hours taking the skin of your knuckles changing the plugs :(
When it was on song, the noise was pure 500 GP + a hearty smell of Castrol TTS Fully Sync :D
