Hi Guys and Girls,
Its been almost 14 years since I last owned a Yamaha having passed my test in 1999, my first bike being an R6
I can still remember the near misses to this day.
Since then I have mostly owned MV's and Ducatis with my computing bike switching between the ZXR1400 & the Busa.
One bike thats been niggling at me for sometime was the beautiful R1 Crossplane model (14B). I generally ignore the inline 4 screamers
and only turn my head when I hear the 'boom' of a Twin but one summers day that all changed and the love affair began so............. today I went a purchased this little beauty
With 1600 miles on the clock and the mandatory carbon cans it was simply too good an offer to turn down.
I look forward to reading, learning and contributing to this forum.
Thanks for having me
