Yeah, I was enjoying the Greenlane life on my XR400R for a while but opportunities to use the bike were getting fewer and fewer with family and work commitments and I couldn't even use it for station commuting as its not the hardest of bikes to nick, kickstart and away!
So went searching the internet for something more useable, comfortable, good for the occasional commute...... And here it is on the trailer on its way home today!

Only had about 10 miles on it but it feels great. And I could honestly look at these things all day, one of my dream bikes and now I've got it, hurrah! ____________________ Joined the off roaders an green laners with my XR400R |

Nice bike, congratulations.
Similar to mine, though mine has much fashionable road rash graphics in abundance unfortunately, yours looks very clean.
No steering damper? be careful |

R1s are excellent bikes and I enjoy my 5JJ immensely.
Yours looks like a 4XV though,as far as I can tell,because of the squared off pillion seat,as against the 5JJ seat which is slightly pointed.
I do not have a steering damper on my bike and have never felt the need for one as I am quite used to the enduro bike being out of shape
As has been suggested,taking the R1 abroad for some sport/touring fun is something to look forward to

Nice bikes, had a 99 a back when I was 20/21. Bit underwhelmed after hearing the hype but plenty capable and more than you'd ever need power wise. Paid about £1750 in 2009 for a slightly tatty one, sold it for over 2k I remember seeing over 170 on the clocks a few times...
That looks very tidy though.
Preferred my b1h I had before it (and had another b1h after!).
K6 Gsxr 1000 stomps all over it though :p ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

Well as my cbr600rr could achieve a genuine 162...
It can't overread when it stops. Gearing commander plus revs and limiter says it hit 307kmh. |

same site gives a reading of 179.2 mph on my stock ( with de-cat) 2006 R1 5VY ..
so that would be a speedo reading of 191.1 mph ..
it is all very well imputing figures into a program but it is no substitute for a test run..
there is only one way available to ordinary people to record their speed accurately and that is with a GPS...
but any such file would be deleted.. ____________________ Whatever I post I have no citation and no intention of providing one..
