morning all,
thought I`d say hello, new owner of an r1, its a 4xv model that I bought after selling my gixxer, got 1800 for the gixxer and bought the r1 for 1990 , done well I think, its pretty standard apart from, very cool trick ohlins on the rear, k tech internals on the front and a micron zorst.
it`s pretty clean as well which I`m pleased about, having a touch of ocd I don't like em dirty !! I've ordered a few bits for Christmas just to make it more mine, nothing to outrageous just a few subtle changes.

now fingers crossed the pics work

sold this............




bought this..........

hmmm pics didn't work, I`ll try again

aha sussed it

Hi mate and welcome to the forum, nice intro and great pics, if the R1 has those mods you mentioned I think you done very well on the price

Welcome in mate- congratulations on buying one of the faster blue R1's - join in & have some fun

Welcome, looks like a nice bike. Should handle very well with those suspension upgrades. 99 model?

What model Gixxer did you have?

Welcome in Alan
Ohlins & k-tec ! I don't think your going to be disappointed
Have a good trawl through the 4xv & 5jj sections as there's loads of info in them .
Welcome to the beautiful world of carb'd R1s

Hello mate, good price with them suspension mods.

thanks for the welcome..

moise, the gixxer was a k1, loved it but my mate has an r1 which I tried, and I decided if I could get one without spending to much, why not? and yes its a 99 model.

jompy, yes mate I`ll have a read through the sections, I`m a shift worker so I will probably post at weird and wonderful times , mainly with questions though

on a side note, I`m on nights this week, and have just woken up to a delivery of 3 stickers, so there's another 10bhp added already

Welcome to the forum Alan, thats a clean looking r1 you have there and looks much better than the gixxa

Welcome in Alan

Welcome to the firum Alan, it's amazing what those go faster stickers will do to a bikes handling

You have a beautiful looking R1 there and yiu have come to the right place to ask questions, just font take monkey face's aka jompys word fjr anything, he knows about the same as me and I know feck all .

What I do know is this forum is made up of some really good people who are here to help us who don't know as much or have less riding experiance, whether it's help on tide outs, at the track or giving technical support here, someone will always have an answer fjr you.

You will need a sense of humour, as there can be lots of good humoured banter and General p!ss taking, but it's all ok as its amongst friends.

So welcome to the mad house
