Nice clip!
I have to say I'm not so Yamaha minded anymore since the one I had (´93 YZF750R IIRC) always put on the oil warning light when I was going for a ride at 200+ km/h.

Yes, I do know that this is a oil-level warning instead of a oil-pressure warning. And yes, the oil level was OK. It was not that much of a problem, but it always startled me.

I still wouldn't be able to ride like Valentino The firing order makes it sound like a V4 instead of a straight setup.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

OMG It does sound like a v4, looks nice too.

Doesnt sound quite as nice as my v-twin SP1 , but the R1's got a tad more power though.

I'm seriously tempted, but assuming my 2001 is worth £2K is it really worth another £8K???

SWMBO says do what the f*** you like, but I really dont think she means it.
