Hello from a long term 5vy owner.

Hi,
I'm William from clydebank.
Owned my 5vy for the last 10 years. It's been up for sale for the past week, hopefully will be collected on Monday.
Only ride on the track these days, mainly the UK but sometimes I venture to Spain.
Will be looking for a new track bike, hopefully a 2015+ R1.
Was a member on here years ago, but didn't post much, come back to brush up on my 2015 info and hopefully contribute this time!

Welcome William, that is a nice looking 5VY. The 2015 R1 is a classy bike I hope you get hold of one for the spring/summer.

Cheers guys.
Was hoping to get the new bike sorted this week but the guy who was supposed to collect the 5vy tomorrow has not answered my last couple of messages. So looks like I'll have to wait.

Finally found this place then mate. There's some good info and knowledgeable lads here.
Not to mention the track scene is pretty busy here too. You've already met a couple at Aragon I believe

Yip he's on here as PJC. I'm sure he'll be along any minute.
Are you going to try and get a test ride on one?

Tempted to just buy that one I sent you. But really want rid of the 5vy first as there'll be no room to move in my garage with both them in there, plus if I do buy it I lose the option of trading the 5vy in so I have to sell it privately.
Someone else asking about the 5vy this morning, said I'm asking too much, he sold one for less 4 years ago apparently [emoji23][emoji23]

You don't half get some chancers mate. I'm still having the same carry on selling bits from my 4C8.
You can always leave the new R1 at my place...

It's going great mate apart from the time wasters over the current bike! Is the new one as good as it sounds? I'm guessing so by the fact you want one!

Good to Hear mate, yeah its good, turns so easily and you can take the piss. Was told b4 I rode it i'd want it and also that it makes a sh!te rider look good and a quick rider look amazing
Even aqfter 1 ride I can see that
