Hi folks, recently sold the R1, It was killing my wrists leaning over the tank all the time, (im not 20yrs old any more). So, i`v got myself a xvs 1100, 24000 on the clock, 2 lady owners, and a custom airbrush job on the tank, (which has got to go) its not really a guys thing, but it is very well done and it seems a pity to spray over it, i will try to upload a pic. If there are any lady bikers out there with the same bike who would like to swap tanks, I don't mind if its all black or black and red like mine, anyway enough of this, I road this bike from gloucester (where i live) to the Ace cafe in London then on to Brighton ( 2011 Brighton burn-up ) wat a change from the R1, no back ache, and no swollen wrists, it was bliss to ride and didn't give me the slightest bit of trouble, and i managed to get nearly 100 miles out of a tank of fuel, better than 13 to the gallon on the R1. just one thing i would like to know, is it normal for it to vibrate as it reaches 60 mph and over, or is there something wrong with it?
