Hi All,
I Have just go myself a 2004 with 7500mls on the clock.
Looking forward to the nicer weather coming to get out and enjoy her and hopefully using your guy's experience if/when needed.
Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome, never owned yamaha's before so hoping I've made a good choice, previous bikes were a fireblade and zx9r.

Hi George, welcome, love the lava red 5vy( sorry I asked you which model you had in your post re furry nuts, what a dope I am, didn't see this post

) the 5vy is a cracking bike, I did over 65k miles on mine
Liking the garage floor, more tasteful than mine, fir some mad reason I used red tiles fir my yamaha speed blocks, but the white, they are a bugger to keep clean and the car tyres stain them... humm.... how do you keep yours so white?
Anyway welcome
Stephen

I'd love to take the credit for the floor and the garage but that was where I bought the bike from I'm afraid
Thanks for the welcomes.

Thanks guys, now just to read this forum and see what I can do to improve the looks and performance and sound.
First on the list will be to change the screen for a black/dark tinted one, then possibly look at exhaust options.
