37 years old from Maidenhead, Berkshire.
My bike history is fairly short.
GPZ500. YZF600r Thundercat. VFR750fv. CBR1100xx SuperBlackbird and now the R1.

The new bike is a 2004 YZF R1 5PW (I think) in blue. 37k on the clock.

This is my first sports bike. I got it as a straight swap for the bird. I'm still not sure what drove me to do it but I think it's because I didn't want to go through my biking life having never had a litre sports bike. First impressions are very good, performance is as I expected, fast and light but what has surprised me is that it is relatively comfortable.
Below are photos of my last bike and the R1.

You will love it, the seat is better for long runs IMO, the bird seat is so fat. Enjoy the R1 and your stay here. Bike looks in grand nick
