Hi guys picked up my 08 plate red and white r1 last week.What can i say the bike is flapping mad.Spent many hours going through the whole bike with all the panels off as i like things that go this fast to be spot on.It came with many nices bits and i have added a puig screen and many bolts from pro bolt and a r&g rad guard.Here it is.

Nice one, Ian :D

Is it full Akra exhaust or cans only?

Soiunds good! :D

I left mine with the exup/cat in, but added long velocity stacks for midrange.

I think mine was over 175 bhp at the wheel, can't remember the torque figure though.

I had bought a pair of the 6-pot calipers, with the intention of getting the appropriate fork bottoms - but went for the Ohlins forks instead.

They're a bit rapid (rabid? :shock: ) eh? :D

Al :D

Rabid i should co co .The ride home from salisbury where i picked it up from was just unreal.Had sam behind in our leon cupra and in the end she waved me on when shes knew where she was and that was it 8) .
Your r1 with the ohlins must by good :wink: .Had to take alot of preload off front and back for my tiny weight to work it right but now its spot .
