      This bike must be expensive to service.. I need to replace just 1 spark plug, & you?

      Good to see you are so delighted with the bike.

      The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

          Maximum respect bro, I also have an R1, trouble is it has a five aswell

          Enjoy and take good care of her!
          Thanks Stefan, most of them on the road assume the same when they see me on the road

          I am always delighted to see the R1, indeed service is expensive(but Yamaha is comparatively inexpensive(spares) to the other Japs)

                  I guess when you badly want something, you will find a way to convince your parents. I did face the same from my parents, but they knew that it was no longer just a motorcycle for me...

                        Sir ,

                        You are an inspiration . I am stepping towards a dream next month . I will be getting my baby monster . I started working just last month and most of my salary will be going towards the bike and some sacrifices just seem worth it . Some family members don't understand and they say " its just a bike after all let it go " but they don't understand its so much more . The next step hopefully will be an R1 ! God knows how long it'll take me to get there but one day i will ! I will have my R1 !


                        I salute you !

                        Thanks,
