Just bought a 2008 R1

[Bishbash]

Well, I went into what was the old Infinity HQ in Farnborough to see what 2nd hand R1s were available, there was only one blue 2003 R1 for £4200 but with 20000 miles on it, so I declined, walking out the shop and I saw the new R1 and fell in love. I got chatting to the salesman, obviously, and he told me that they are on 0% finance and its the last day for that deal, so I made a decision there and then and put the deposit down and its ALL MINE....Yey

So I pick it up this week as soon as I sort my insurance out..I am so excited. I will get more pics up once I get it.

Congrats mate, hope you have much fun on it!

That saying lasts just as well as free beer tomorrow, last day today could be any day, however if you`re happy with the deal then that`s all that matters. Get any goodies thrown in? Have fun and be careful. -Jockey.

Well been out on the bike all weekend and I absolutely love it...Its awesome all round, cornering especially. I will up load some pics soon, I promise.

I was quite shocked to find out that it holds 180bhp in its depths. I thought it would be around 160 ish for some reason.

For its straight line power, I have not taken it above 10 thousand revs yet as I am still running it in. But I went out with my dad on Sundy to Brands Hatch, anyway, on the way back I was leading and he thought it be smart to try to play. He overtook me when I was in the wrong gear and I caught up, so coming off the slip road I decided to repay the favor. I heard his V-Twin open up, so it was time to test it out, dropped a gear, zoomed passed him at 150ish and made him look like he was standing still....I love this bike so much!
