Finally went out on her today and did the 80 mile Cotswolds test loop. I have to say, it was love at first ride.
 Engine pulls strong in 2nd-6th. Rather docile below 6k, but fire it past 8k and it soars.
Great gearbox. Barring the judder in 1st gear < 4k, she clutchless upshifts with precision. No false neutrals. You can do it between 1st and 2nd without fear of hitting the neutral.
She handles so sweetly. Physically larger than the blade, but didn't seem to phase me. It's more of a point and squirt machine, rather than all out corner speed. I figured that under these greasy conditions and low temperatures, a late turn-in and gas-on-apex approach hits the spot. Turn-in was quite neutral with the Bridgestone S20's, but it is still 4-5°C out there
Taut suspension. See above. Helps with the handling. For a 28k miler, it just feels fresh!
The sound! Having the carbon cans made a huge difference. It pops and burbles on the overrun. I just had so much fun tickling it beyond 8k and letting off the gas. Had me giggling for ages! Listen to the clip below.
Yoshimura Redline
Anyway, I am officially back... at least that's what my headlight says!

RiRi needs a clean now, but it feels so great to be a biker again! This year, I'm going to spend as much time on motorbikes as I am on mountain bikes.

Haha. Nah, I was at my local bike (cycle) shop yesterday to fetch bits for my enduro. The place is on an old water mill, with period cotswolds stone, so I thought that it was a good an opportunity as any to get a shot in! The biggest irony is that a LOT of the bikes they have in stock are worth more than the R1! 
I still crack up everytime the exhaust backfires! I definitely need to remap the bike so that I can iron out the flatspot at 3k. It bogs down just where you let the clutch out. Don't really want to be slipping the clutch on something that has 180bhp or so at the crank!

Nice choice pal, we need to sort a ride out soon, could see if JD is up for something too. As we're in Newbury and I want to hear those cans roar.

Important question though, how did you break your wanking spanner? |
Mountain bike crash!  Me and Mossy aren't faring too well at the moment. Richard fractured his collar bone at bikepark wales!
This is what happens to BCFers when we go to the dark side! I'd rather have surgery and a lay-off rather than a ban or disqualification on my licence becase I was treating the road like a race track. 2015 might be track day year for me, and also the year where I should be relatively injury free.
Last year I did my ankle, several cracked ribs, shoulder, wrist,... all on a frigging pushbike! But, there's no denying that to get the equivalent buzz on the road, I'd have been doing triple digits everywhere. I did end up with a police chase back to my house in Summer (if you followed my facebook, you'd know the full story). Got away with just a slap on the wrist, but that was when I sorta called it time and switched to this.
