Hi all, just joined up. Am riding a 09 R1, looking forward to gaining some knowledge and having some craic with fellow R1 owners

Hi Padraic

A very warm welcome, which part of the emerald isle are you from. post us some pics and it would be real nice to hear about your biking history etc. Enjoy the site and bike of course

I'm from the West of the country. I've had 4 R1's of various models over the past 15 years of sports bike riding, have tried other machinery in between (RSVR, Sp1, RC8 etc. ) but you cant beat Yamaha for its mix of performance and looks, specially the 09 (red frame) I currently have. As you can see from the other bikes above I also like V twins, the R1 is a good compromise between the low down power of the twin and screaming top end of the 4 imo. I'll get the bike out and take a few pics over the coming days and post them up

Welcome in mate. Ignore the jealous red frame haters, you have made the right choice Sligo is as far west as I've been.
