Welcome to the forum Matt, you will love your R1M they are a fantastic bike, as good as the duke..... Well you will have to let us know. Post up some pics if both bikes when she arrives and tell us a bit about your biking history, we like to get to know new members and for them to get to know us . This forum is not an ordinary biking forum, we are a community, helping each other out whether it be scouring our garages fir the spare bolt someone needs, or members who race helping new track day riders out at a track day or even rebuilding a bike after an off, Locke aka Colin on here always says you get out of this community what you put in, so join in the banter, have a laugh with us and enjoy your new toy.

Oh I won't ask what colour it is as we all know ;)

Welcome

Stephen :D

We will let you off with the CBR600RR , where on earth did you put your pipe and slippers rack on the duke .... I guess you left them on the Honda [emoji23].
