So I finally got chance to take a 2015 R1 for a test ride from the guys at Argyll Motorsports. I know this is a Duc forum but I figured I'd shed some light of what I thought as I'm on the fence of whether I should get a 1299 base or a 15 r1.
I've owned 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2009 R1 as well...
Anyone had any experience with the Dainese conformed sizing, I needed to get a bit taken off my one piece size 50, looking at the size 25 for a 2 piece suit but concerned that the legs may be a bit loose.
cheers,
Hope so you guys gonna like it. its still not finished im working on the instruments design and data but i think it looks cool

this is not a troll thread. whats your observations? The panigale just doesnt have the drive the aprilia or the kawi have. i doubt they will have a win this season again.
So I'm looking to swap out the levers. What's a good/great brand? And are they ez to change? Looks like you don't have to drain lines or anything. Should be a few nuts and bolts right. In all my bikes, I've never swapped out levers. Thanks, Sergio :)
One of the main complaints aimed at the last-minute rule changes in MotoGP is that they made it impossible to explain to the casual viewer exactly who is riding what, and why.
How many categories are there exactly in MotoGP? Who has more fuel and who doesn’t? And who loses what privileges if...
Well here she is, all finished. Track bodywork with a LED headlight and tail light for the street :D. I can post some pics if interested.
I used all OEM BMW colors on it, including Monte Carlo Blue, Melbourne Red, Alpine White, and my favorite - Frozen Black.
Mods are:

Popped the wheel from my tri for the first time (picked up 2days ago) today and found the DP paddock stand to too short to let the front tyre clear the guard ! WTF? What gives ?
Anyone else noticed same ?
I guess I'll cut n' splice, but bugger - FAIL !

It kind of annoys me that the chain guard is so stubby and does nothing to keep gunk from slinging up to the underside of the tail plastics.
Anyone know of a longer chain guard that'll actually cover over the sprocket so that when the chain wraps around it wont sling crap all over the fairing?
Finally picked her up last friday in the afternoon.
After one and a half day of riding, got 800 km of pure joy :D
Planned to put on the remaining 200 km on a trip tommorrow, so she can get in for first service.
Here are some of my experiences with this beast, don't know where to start, but...
