One F1-11 Minus Wings = R1

[2000VTR250]

After riding the 250 since 02 its about time for an upgrade. For my new weapon I couldnt go past the legend...

This is an '08 model bought new!

Damn, thats an achievement, I thought I was a bit crazy going str8 from 250 to a litre.

Thanks but I don't think its that much of an achievement anyone can do it if they have the right attitude approach and mindset.

Its all up to the individual really -- If you are smart, know that your bike can do warp speed but choose not to do warp speed then you are fine

Its all about having respect for the machines capabilities and knowing your own limitations and skills.

Of course your skills will improve as you ride it more -- but just do it slowly and progressively

No need to ride for speed everywhere you go - ride for the enjoyment of the ride.

Take a corner at the posted 45kmph then next time try it at 50kph then 55 kph then 60 kph and so on. Try to analyse the difference in the corner at the different speeds and how the bike and you yourself react and handle it

I congratulate you on your choice of bike by the way ( mines a old school 1999 model)

What prey-tell is a F1-11? Is it like a F-111, but with Jenson Button as pilot?

2008YZFR1X1000 at your service, just rolls off the tongue:busting:!

I wish I could just update my profile that I ride an R1, but I cant manage to even do that. Hope riding a 1000 isnt that technical!

But nowhere near as classy, don't dis the Interceptor...

I thought it was your lounge room

I thought it was your lounge room

Thats a result of house reno's that ende dup with stuff in the grudge, and of course knocking stuff over when trying to move about. At least the R1 fits in now, looking fwd to the hard rubbish in March.

looks sick mate

[twisties]

nice choice. I myself just upgraded today from a 2000 VTR250, but seeing as the insurance quotes were fricken horrendous for an inline 4, I chose the little twin's big brother, the VTR1000, and now I understand what 'torque' means!

Good luck with the R1! :)

Thanks, Nice ride you got there, I was seriously considering one until fashion took over common sense. I was feeling pretty good one day about the sound of the VTR250 at the lights, right then a 1000 Firestorm rocked up with aftermarket slip on pipes... didnt feel so good then. 8-[

I freeking love it congrats!

Thanks dude. The throttle response is quite addictive, as are the sound from the twin pipes...mmm 140 kw

[2000VTR250]

Hey remember when I got this? Still awesome!!

[goz]

still need to change your name :)

[Nickers330]

Great looking bike dude ! My brother has the red/white R1 (2008) while I have the black. I love mine in black, but the red/white is eye-catching and 'jumpy'.
Well done on your recent purchase - I'll have to look out for you :)

Have fun on the new beast mate :thumb:

[Locky28]

And you made it 6 months without dying! :p

Mate has a black R1 :( Can't wait to get off my RE, though I've got my mind set on a 2006+ R6 in Blue :D

If you want it to have wings, just put red bull in the fuel tank. Better then NOS

[lowercase]

i thinks you gotta change the name. change it to something non bike related then, or something simpler. don't need to be the bike model. something like awesomer1 lol

I have seen pictures of guys strap the empty NOS soft drink bottles to their bikes

The police would crap a brick in glee if they saw you with that - thinking they just caught a hoon

Thanks for the idea, lowercase ;)

On 2nd thoughts...nah, I still like mine, but I DO need to change '777' into '330'...a personal preference.
