Featured Hello All

Hi Everyone

As most of you know my Speed Triple was taken out back in April :-(

I have now purchased another bike BUT not Speed triple. Let me explain before I get any abuses

I am in the process of selling my property. Got an offer and a week before completion the buyer pulled out on me. This caused the whole chain to break. So my property is back in the market. I couldn't justify spending 8k to get the speed r at the moment just in case I need the little extra cash for the house. Hence I got this R1 to keep me going temporarily until such time I sell my property. I'm have lots of goodies for speed n the idea is once I managed to get one to use all the goodies on her ;-).

Yesterday was the 1st time I took the R1 for a blast. Bloody hell.....she is fast. I felt speed had more torque upto 100.

I'll still be lurking around here

Thank you All

 

There's nothing like a good lurk

 

I wish I could afford the cross plane. This is 2003 fuel injected model

 

Always thought the 02, 03 years of the sportsbikes were the classiest. These years of CBR954, the R1 and the ZX9R (02 model which I had for 8 years) were all excellent bikes.

 

Thats the best colours aswell.

 

Yup, go-faster red.

 

Thank you all for the compliments

 

Hey up R-1000
That's a seriously nice looking bike.
Now when you say 100, just remind everybody that is only when you're getting chased by bike jackers or on practice days with the 'Dunlops'
Hope all goes well with the house move, its a bloody pain is moving, right up to the final hour.

 

Did I really say 100 .....I meant to 70


Cheers buddy

 

Errr.... I think you'll find its YELLOW that goes faster.


(Just done a "disagree" on ya mate. Hope it's not like a de-merit or owt)

Much appreciated buddy

 

Well i suppose it has 3 spoke wheels

 

^^ And same BHP as the Speed . Maybe lacking in the torque dept regardless she is fun pushing around the countryside

 

Here are the crash Pics :-(

Yeah tell me about it. I am so glad I was in full gear even though it was a proper hot day

Lesson learned: Stay away from Range Rovers / Be very very vigilant at round abouts / And ofcourse always ride with the full gear on

 

Daymn, was that a Shark Spartan Carbon Anthracite!
I have one on back order since march, bloody difficult to get hold of!

 

Hey buddy. Yep it is the Spartan Silicium. Lovely lid. Shame got busted

Try sportsbikeshop for the lid. Online orders, hassle free returns.

 

Ordered it earlier, not the Silicum bit the carbon black.
Helmetcity.co.uk didn't have hte Silcium either.

With this helmet ,Helmetcity.co.uk had an offer of free Oxford bike cover and Oxford tool set...woth about £50.
Ordered Mon and had delivery confirmation on my mobile just this morning.
