G'day all, Not my first post... i first joined in 2011 back when i was riding a Buell 1125CR, joined then & probably did a few bullshit posts about nothing.
After my 1125CR Buell i got a 2010 R1 because big bang engines are fucken tough & sound like armageddon, i had plans to fighter the R1 ( not very serious ones...) but once i had it i didn't do it & sold it.
Again came back for a look a few years ago after my V4 tuono engine decided that one conrod was better off in 2 pieces rather than the "standard" but rather effective 1 piece....
After the V4 lunched itself i toyed again with the idea of a fightered crossplane ( and started a thread here asking a few questions) or buying a BMW S1000R to replace V4 tuonoexplosion...I ended up buying the BMW nearly 2 years ago.
So basically have had an idea i wanted to build a crossplane R1 fighter a few times but then turned into a big girls blouse & have never done it, so now i've had the BMW S1000R a few years i want a change.
The BMW is an amazing bike, heaps of grunt, electronic suspension, TC etc etc. It fucken handles on rails & have done a 1:09 at Lakeside on it there too. Really nice precision handling german bike.... however .... it is a bike that any old joe bob henry bob can walk in & buy off the showroom floor & fuck it i'm going to finally build the fucken R1 i have been to scared to commit to for the last 4 years....
So this time i've paid up my $32 dorra, i'm going to look on here at peoples builds to get ideas & soon will sell the BMW to fund a crossplane R1 build, it probably wont handle as precise as the BMW but i know the engine will be more fun, the R1 will be heavier & no heated grips, no cruise control etc but there will always be BMW's for sale with this shit on them that i can buy & ride any old time, there will never be a naked crossplane R1 in my shed unless i do something about it !!!
So yeah i'll be looking around & making a list of suppliers & parts i need then sometime in the next few months will put BMW up for sale & get an R1 to start on, i love hanging out in my shed working on bikes with a few beers & tunes cranking, it's one of the best things going i reckon so ripping fairings off an R1 then hiding wires, making brackets etc will be a really fun experience, really challenging & extremely satisfying to do & have a bike i made that i'm proud of & is fucken tough at the end of it all !!
Also ride a Husky TE300, a Buell XB12s & a trials bike so while building R1 i will still have my other toys to play on.
So thanks for having me back, excuse the mega long intro & I look forward to reading some build threads for inspiration & getting into it myself soon !!
cheers !!!!
