New bike day

[Raydial]

Yesterday was my birthday, and as you all know, my bike hasn't been approved yet by the TÜV or Magistrat 46 to use on the roads of Austria. So I decided to buy myself a present so I could still get my biking fix while there are some nice days. It's meant to be 22°C on Saturday!  It was actually my girlfriend's idea. She told me twice I should buy another bike! She's a keeper! 

So my new old toy is a 2003 Yamaha R1. It's kinda high mileage and has a bit of a dent in the tank but it seems to have been well looked after and it was cheap.

Nice one. Many happy and safe miles. Hopefully  you get the CB on the road too.

Brilliant...20 valve engine was more torquey in my opinion...I'm sure a bit of tlc will have it looking ace.
Have fun.

A whole scorching summer stuck in a country 4000 miles from my bike (and still not home) - I feel your pain....

A bike for your birthday, good call.

That's the kind of childhood wish that you should grant yourself when you have the means.

Best looking R1 ever made that version. Fact.
