Thought i would treat myself to a brand new bike, have owned the R1 for 3 years. Fancied the 10r so went for it as there are some cracking deals out there just now. So a nice brand new 10r in black, picked it up today, its fantastic:

Got it booked in for its 500 mile service in a week, can't wait for it to be run-in properly :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 :smt003

The beers are on me.

its good aint it to see how small the bigger bikes are getting, i think the new gsxr 1000 k7 looks small almost the same size as the 600 an i think the only difference between the 600 an the 750 versions is the power and pricetag. obviously weight to but you dont think of that when the bike goes so fast lol :smt003

looks cool in black - exhausts blend in a bit better.

I hope you cherish and love it like it deserves.

well the R1 was sold last night, seen my old machine go down the road :smt010

it is the 0% over 3 years and free akra's. They are behind on the akras as so many people took the deal up, i will run it in first anyway.

250 miles up and its cracking. Its not small at all, its very similiar to the 99 R1, the pegs are just higher up and you are seated a little further away from the bars. Its a tiny bit narrower and alot sharper.

The zxr will be done in the same paint scheme, ebony black. Im thinking of getting the wheels gold on the 10r as well.

All my machines are cherished, my bikes are my main mode of transport, i just use my cars for weekend toys and i prefer it that way :smt003
