Goodbye gen2 Hello s1r

[DekF]

If you get the chance, take a ride on one. They're a serious bit of kit. A stonking motor allied to supreme handling & if you get in trouble a host of electronic aids to keep you in one piece. The bike is bonkers if you want it to be & yet with a choice of soft, medium or hard suspension settings, cruise control & heated grips make this bike much more than a hooligan tool.
I've swapped a few bits out already & will do more this coming winter but really it doesn't need anything, but we all like to mod our bikes don't we.
It'll be touring Europe this year so it'll be interesting to see how it fares, I reckon it'll be a hoot.

Thanks Luke, there's a full bellypan that hides the cat & a nice Akra shorty will finish the look 

[dazza]

That's a stunning looking bike Dek.  :thumbup

[devilsyam]

Shame they weren't out when I sold my K1300R because I would of bought one on the spot.

My FZ1 is a weak comparison.

[mickvp]

that looks a quality bike! Im sure youll get loads of smiles out of it

[bigralphie]

I was really taken with it at the NEC show ,havent test rode one as I just bought a new bike that has much loan payments left lol 

[slimwilly]

That is very nice,,any front weather protection? and how mucho is one of them mister?

[unfazed]

That's a Gen 2 with a fairing, your not fooling us :lol

Best of luck with it

[esetest]

Stunning looking bike .

[DekF]

Thanks for the comments. 
As to cost Willy, there's 2 ways to look at it.
1) Comparatively speaking with the current crop there's a hell of a lot of bike for the money.
2) £11.4k for the rs + upto now over £1k in mods is a lot of money.
We all have our weak spots, mine is the bike

Seriously jealous, the Akra will add a serious growl and crackle on downshifts, wish I hadn't taken that test ride now

[brooker81]

Looks even better in the flesh could have taken that home too dek.

[AyJay]

Our friendly Japanese bike manufacturers are some way behind the Europeans at the moment. That is one hell of a bike and I can't wait for the faired version supposedly out next year.


I hope you stick around the forum and tell us how you get on with it over the coming year.
