SW London Newbie

Post by andysw9 »

Morning all - accidental newbie here. Called into Infinity Clapham yesterday afternoon for a new rucksack, have a new R1 in matte grey being delivered in a couple of weeks... how the f#ck did that happen :think: :think:
Trading in my beloved FZ1 (6 yrs 32k) and think I'm in for a very new experience :D
Andy.

Welcome in Andy..... Very impressed..... Did you get the rucksack as well? Believe me you are going to love the R1 and you have also found a great forum, peeps on here support one and other and what they don't know about R1's ain't worth knowing.... I'm the exception because I know f all. .... I even struggle with typing..... So welcome, enjoy the forum and your R1

Hello Andy and welcome to the forum.
Congrats on your new purchase fella the impulse buys are always the best lol even when they are just shy of 12k :lol: :lol: .
The 14be has traction control and the led strip in the lights, it also has a dip in the fairing above the lights like a frown..

Welcome in mate. As hash cakes says the Matte Grey is a 14BE. Very nice choice indeed.
