I liked the part where I saw old vs new / dirty vs shiny comparison pics ____________________ will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.
G: With my GSXR I do often effectively use it as a scooter with a clutch in town.
ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston? |

Bizarrely, I don't really like it.
Don't get me wrong, I love stainless and titanium bolts, I love stripping a bike down and making sure everything is cleaner/better working order than it was before, I oggle at anything Ohlins, or carbon, or exotic, I drool at Brembo Monoblocks, the latest and greatest trinkets that money can buy.
But for some weird reason, that bike doesn't do anything for me - not in the way that £25k should do.
A tidy £14k RC30, with a race can howling around Box Hill bypass is enough to make me fall to my needs in a mess of tears, an £18k Ducati 999R gleaming at a bike meet will send me straight to the nearest lavatory with a box of Kleenex, a £250 CG125 with knackered everything will remind me how great the world is...but that R1....don't know why....but it's just kinda m'eh. |

read through the whole thread and like a few other people was not wowed, i think the lack of a paintjob did that though, the ducati 749R has carbon fairings and they painted them and they look great, but un painted carbon looks its not new to people any more , ive seen those wheels before and those BST are nice, probably the best thing on the bikes apart from the suspension and brakes ____________________ Honda CG125 BR-S 1995 + cg125 W |

I completely agree, the project is amazing. The finished project was very much underwhelming.

It's amazing, but all that top-end gear and you know it will just be used for photoshoots.
What a waste man! |
