Fucking hell, I hope its just a case of not being a teenager anymore or something. I can insure a Thunderace for 360 even with just my 2 years ncb as i stand today, but an R1 of any era is grands and grands

£350ish to insure the CBR1100 at 20. Renewal is looking to be around £500 though

Hopefully if there is a funeral, it won't be until at least 2066 and it won't be my fault if its earlier!

Insurance is going to be an ass, have to declare my claim as ongoing, which makes it £1133 fc :'( something to do with being very high risk, plus I live between 3 pretty crap places for theft (plus here isn't great, small farming village, quite a few thefts of farm equipment)

I've had a look for if I didn't have a claim etc, £650ish fc with a couple of extras (riding other bikes etc)

Decided to have a look for a steering damper, braided front lines and a stock or clear screen, and will probably leave it there, its almost perfect as is

Seriously jealous mate, honestly, nice find.

Bit pricey on the insurance front, my non fault claims seem to have no bearing on my insurance my 3 points however

(Points actually make my car insurance cheaper, technically a win win...)

[Fizzer Thou]

That is in nice condition.It does seem a bit strange to replace the rear brake hose with some Aeroquip and not the front though.

The Brembo master cylinder on the rear brake is standard as compared to the standard front Nissin master cylinder.This is the same setup as I have on my '01 R1,although I now have fitted a Brembo adjustable front master cylinder,which gives far better feel to heavy braking.

Have a look see at www.yamahar1.co.uk

Also, having been advised by several people (some of them being owners, some being very good racers) to get a steering damper, I got one on eBay, as new Ohlins with Harris fitting kit (916 style) for less than the price of a new Sprint unit

Fuck those bikes are sexy.

You can't beat the old skool r1's. Always my faverite bike.

You will only find it twitchy if you bang the power on coming out bends or roundabouts.

Cheers

Hopefully won't find out just how twitchy they can get, but will obviously be very careful not to wang it one

Here's what I'm hoping will stop any moments like that being too bad

Good choice on the damper.

How much did that rob you if you don't mind me asking?

It was £242 delivered, not bad seeing as its in as new condition, and it has the Harris fitting kit too. I think brand new they retail at around the £400 mark, plus whatever the fitting kit costs.
