Posted September 7, 200816 yr Hi all just a quick note to say hi, ive just joined your yamaha forum, having allready had a quick look around it looks like i am amoungst friends allready i have an r1-z 250 which is an import. I love it to bits and have spent reasonable amounts of hard earned cash on it. when i was given it i was advised to dump it in the skip because parts would be hard to source!! which they were but it goes like a rocket and iam very glad i didnt dump it !!!! i have a mate off the rd forum with one in derby so i am not alone. Here is a couple of pics of my black r1-z with my mate freds in the back ground,were off to the ace cafe in london with some of the lads from the rd forum I look forward to speaking to you all soon. jon...........
