A very nice man in a van came by today and dropped off me bike, and seeing how the weather was being nice 'n all I took it for a quick spin. And I came back, in one piece even Thumbs Up Razz

Good bits:
Arrow It's stupidly quick - like, really stupidly quick. After an hour on dual carrigeways and country lanes I had a big grin on my face, then I found the motorway and realised there was another 3,000 rpm to play with... Fuuuuk! Drooling
Arrow It feels so much more stable than the VTR, even on the original plastic tyres. It drops from side to side very easily - it's like having a very very big NC35 again Razz
Arrow Came home with 110 miles showing on the trip meter and no sign of the fuel light, yisss!

Bad bits:
Arrow It sounds like a sewing machine Embarassed
Arrow I miss my V twin grunt! You can't putter around traffic as well on the R1, it's all clutch slip here and there. It has a fair bit more grunt down there than I was expecting but still nothing like the storm used to be.
Arrow The riding position hurts, not so much on the ankle but on the wrists and back. I got off feeling like I'd just caught arthritis.
Arrow At around 78 meters/second it feels like your head is going to rip off Wink. The windscreen is useless!

Hi,

Very nice Korn. When you says it's stupidly quick, you mean according to Yamaha, right Question Wink

Seriously, a sweet looking R1 in the best colour. Although I can't say it is the nicest because I've seen the 2004 R1 in metallic red Drooling But hopefully you'll get round to doing a few tank cam videos in the summer Praying

Cheers,

Will

Ahhhh, a mighty red yamaha. Looks very nice Korn, treat her well and have fun.
It may not sound as good as the 'storm but it certainly looks more the part Wink and just wait till you get it to a drag strip to really compare. Very Happy
