Hi, I would like to know your opinion on the 2003 Yamaha R1. I had the '99 model and loved it to bits. Had a clunky 1st to 2nd gear change, but that was it. I am about to buy a 2003 R1 for £3500, is this the going price for a 15 000mile, but spotless bike? Thank you.

hey guys, Off topic, I though i would show my little hobbie, I have 2 psp's and both modded in some way. I have one in camo and my other one is my toy to add leds and bits to it. anyway here are some pictures. tell me what u think! This is my mad one, i have installed a full clear case and also soldered 2 smd led's in the triggers so they light up.

I needed to do something in photoshop to try and get me back into the swing of things i was lacking in something to create so just made this sig for FZ6 GEOFF S2 you dont need to use it if you dont want to... this took me 15 minutes, c&c would be nice

were id the bast place to go on a track day

hello there peeps, 03 R1 man here who is keen on track days, the beers are on me

Hi everyone just joined the site as i have just got myself a 99 R1, how much better are they from a gixer.

last night I dreamt i had a harley davidson dreams can be cruel, cruel things!!!!!!

Hello everyone! Well I'm sure by now, judging by how many new members there are that probably about 60% of you have no idea who I am... but for those who do... I'm finally back in the country after spending time in Africa raising around £12000 for the Amani Children's home, which is an orphanage in a little town called Moshi in Tanzania. Here are some friends and I at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, it was -20C hence the hats. I have to say it was the hardest thing I have done. I just can't begin to describe how hard trekking is at altitude. This is one of the incredible views I would wake up to every morning, this one is on the way up to base camp…

you dont have to be into the "biker rally" scene for this to affect you. if you go to meets of any type, IT DOES affect you some of you may know , some may not, but the Rock & Blues , and now the Welsh Motorcycle Show has been cancelled. the Welsh , due to Police objections, that were not raised with the authorities (Licensing or otherwise) but directly with the committee of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. now the Welsh is a show, not a rally, and more a family type event . there are also plans in the pipe line to try and get the licences for other smaller motorcycle events revoked. god knows where this will stop. after seeing the violence in Manchester las…

Good forum people, I'm planning a short trip to Europe at the end of the summer, using the TDM. I was initially going to use Eurotunnel because it's quick, easy and I can keep an eye on the bike but my other half would like to be able to relax on the ferry instead. I'm looking at a Dover-Calais crossing, so does anyone have any experience on how well/badly bikes are handled on the ferries? Does any carrier come in for praise/criticism? Any experiences anybody has would be appreciated. I assume the bike would be tied down but, as I'll be using the new one, I'd be mortified if any damage occurs on the crossing. I also apologise if the topic has already been covered. T…

Some background leading to the present! First let me say Hi to everyone! My name is Neil Sheppard I'm down as "shep" but whatever works for u is fine! I'm glad to be in the group & to own a Radian again. I had a beautiful '89, 600 in 1994 for $2,000 it had Kerker pipes - a bit loud for me, since I was on vacation in Cape Cod, I think everyone else agreed! The bike was smooth as silk in perfect shape! I bought a new 94 Kawasaki Voyager 1200 before riding "it" back to New York City! I always missed the Radian though. Especially IN the city! I just bought another one; an '86 Radian 600, the owner who I placed my faith in, said it was perfect before I agreed to lay out …

I`m planning a EUROPE wide tour later in the year and plan t be away for a month and a half (or so) A lot of the travel insurance companies want to charge a premium for riding abroad on bike over 125cc (some over 50cc) or specifically exclude cover for motorcycling. Anybody got any recomendations or companies they have used?

Seen this on another bike site. Our "beloved" Mr. Darling aims to double VED on motorcycles in 2009. There's an online petition. I've already signed it.If you care about biking,sign it and pass it on to anyone you know who rides. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/motorcycle-tax/
