Hello from R1 owner

Post by blim3y »

Hello all, just took delivery of my 2012 R1 (grey) yesterday and loving it. Shame I got caught in the sudden downpours yesterday afternoon bringing her home from W.Sussex to Surrey, I swore all the way home at the British weather ! Myself and the bike were covered in a nice brown colour when I finally got back and spent the rest of the day cleaning the cack off her. What a bike though, looking forward so much to the sunny days. Thx all
