it does say "bicycle" tax disc... strange that you wouldn't be allowed in a cycle lane lol

How is the new toy Ogden? Obviously so slow you need to be in the cycle path!!!

It's.... quick.

Seriously, it's mental. Changing gear is a thing of the past - so long as there's four grand showing on the tacho it'll surge forward with a slightest hint of the throttle. At nine grand it's making more power than any sensible bike would flat out and it still has three and a half left to go. Yet it feels as light as and handles like a 600!

I'd recommend one to anyone.

sounds great for doing long distances. im interested in R1's as a litre sportsbike, given the valve clearance check is at 24,000 miles. thats quite nice given that would use it alot and wouldnt just sell it on in 15,000 miles, prob keep it for 60,000 or something

I take it there was a solid white line and not a dashed white line?

You know that it's the same penalty for riding on the pavement - bargain I say
