Hey guys,
Well after going away trying other bikes, I return again to Yamaha, I decided on a 4C8 R1 as I didn't really gel too well on the crossplane, I managed to find myself a stunning 2007 Haga Rep with low miles in superb quality. Looking forward to the summer!
Heres a few pics...
Cheers!

I've been on a few forums from gaming to bikes & this has goto be the best , if you put a post up & no one answers it's because the don't know the answer lol
They had a forum track day at Donington the other month & two of the experienced track day guys stayed with the novices to help them improve

Awesome, cheers for the welcomes guys! looks like there could be some good banter in here.
@Jompy... Yeah I'll chat to him at some point! Sounds like it makes a massive transformation to an already awesome bike, this is actually my 3rd R1 so far, went from a 13S R6 to a 4C8 R1 then a 14B R1 and now back to the 4C8 again. Yamaha blood! Although I did have a GSXR750 K7 and 2009 Blade (me in avatar).. All awesome.
I just love the 4C8 model though.. that nose and light arrangement with the ducts.. too mean!

Barry I agree re the looks of the 4c8 it really does mean business and I think Yamaha got that one absolutely spot on.
I think you have hit the nail on the head with your comment Yamaha in the blood.... Because a lot if us on here feel the same way about Yamaha, someone who has never owned one can't understand what we mean, but wine you have.....we'll your bitten by the bug. Enjoy the site mate, it's as good as the bikes

Cheers guys!
Nice motors you got there Donny! That colour R1 was the same as my very first one too!
Steve, aye my father had an absolute pristine W plate R1 pre-injection, that was the first litre I rode and it was nuts...shame he got it stolen from Donington park. I get the Yammy passion off him I think.
This is day 13 for me anyway so I'll be heading home tomorrow, hope to god there's gonna be good weather at home whilst I'm off!!
