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.

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.
