In your case Barwel mainly the vehicle in front :p

Also be careful of hedges, ditches and other dangerous stationary objects approaching at high speed!

If your asking for a friend, i have no idea never ridden one. If your asking for you...dont bother, finish you SV its a beauty.

You'll square off tyres twice as quickly.

If you're getting another road bike, get a twin. They are bestest on the road. IL4 = 13k, 13k ban :p honestly even on my hornet i'm constantly aware that 2 fun gear changes is a ban, an R1 will just be toooo much! Of course i'd still have on tomorrow, just trying to be sensible.

One major thing to make sure of is service history as when thrashing down bypass or motorway and you roll of straight into a town layby etc and turn off they tend to sieze the engine due to sudden drop in temp.

They are known for this issue and i'm sure you'll find plenty to read about it online

eh? first i've herd of it :confused:

gearboxes, if its been thrashed they tend to be the only thing that go wrong or have ware issues but so do most bikes

not my fav one, I'd go for the 03 one with the strip tail light but go for it, loads of fun, licence risky but fun, you wont be disappointed.
