Welcome! The 4XV is a great bike. I've had three '99 R1s, the first one brand new, the second a cheap fixer upper after the first was totalled then I went on to '04, '14, '15 (dropped a valve and swapped for a '16) whilst waiting for the '16 to arrive from Japan I bought a low miles 99 4XV and really like it, I'm gradually making it into a replica of my original 99 R1.

Welcome to the forum Colin, in 1971 I went on a school skiing trip to Austria, lest a brand new pair if shoe store up a mountain, my mum went ballistic......
Anyway welcome to the forum

Hope no longer Colin, you've come to the right place. A wee bit limited on aRRR experience myself I might add but will do my best.
The others will take care of you!! Welcome in mate.
