CMC are taking their time - we all ready have them on the road With full Akro system at full chat the sound awesome - also tidies the back end a treat.

I just wish I could afford one as I would have one without a 2nd thought!

Yamaha R1's are a sound investment. Kwak, I was wondering about a rather bland and boring technical aspect of the new R1 which i wonder if you could ask your mate for me - valve clearence checks? Yamaha's seem to have quite long intervals in their 4 cyl bikes (24,000 miles) and i wondered if this was the same on the new R1

No doubt there will be 1000's of them in london. Theres enough of the old ones hooning around being ridden by complete cnuts.

It doesnt look much different to the old model and for £10k, it had beeter be good!
