Not many really, how many people do you know who can thrash a liter bike to within anywhere near their limits? They're pretty understressed and a pretty strong motor.

Still got genesis heads so they're all a bit squished in in there but not that bad to work on. Seen a reg rec go but that's not to say it's common.

YOU :cheers:

Just let us know when you've got one and when you're going out on it :-D

I'll stay at home

Thought they did away with the 5 valve head (Genesis?) with the R1 I will have to investigate.

I have heard early ones are a bit unstable and like to wheelie so look for gearbox, headstock, forks and wheel damage.

Never heard much about engine issues.

Although I did see a crossplane crank one go bang at a trackday, that will be an expensive repair.
