Poorly sick

Thanks it was the colour that convinced me to buy it and just out of interest what colour is your R1 as I used to have one
Standard bike
Modded bike race cans ,decat pipe ,power commander ,double bubble screen and crash bobbins it went like stint was pushing about 180 rwhp
Welcome aboard :) From the pic (it may just be dirt or something) it looks like the liner on pot 1 has a crack in it?

Welcome buddy
Hi my R1 is officially blue,but i have just changed the panels over to Rossi's old Fiat colours.
180rwhp the only way you will get that is with head work as well,mine is currently 165rwhp with Akra full race exhaust,decat,exup delete,Bmc race filter,PC3 with custom map and dynojet quickshift,it has loads of other bling on it,don't want to bore you with the details,but i have just bought some race velocity stacks so that should take it over 170rwhp.

I must have miss understood what I was told that I would have when I fitted the parts but it was bloody fast you've got a nice bike there I miss mine and wish I'd never sold it I keep looking but there just so expensive now I bought mine when it was 3 years old with 10000miles on the clock for 5000 and sold it 18 months later with about 15000miles on the clock without the mods for 5350 as it was just when bike prices started to rise your still looking at 5000 for a good 05 model now
Probably 180 at the crank mate,that would equate to 160ish at the rear wheel. Mine had 1000's spent on it by the 2 previous owners,more than the bike is worth,best thing about it because of the exup delete and mapped to suit,it doesn't power wheelie,the midrange and top end is brutal,2 of my friends have the later 4c8 16v engines and while they are trying to keep the front wheel down i am gone. Yours was the Lava red,that is a really nice colour in the sunlight. i could never go back to a car again,too much traffic around and the cost of insurance is crazy now in London.that's why i got rid of the T4 i wasn't prepared to pay £660 a year for a car fully comp that was basically standard except for the coilovers.
