Looks like the weather should be good this weekend in the South.

Anyone up for a blast?

I want one of these don't I?
Although I have been asked if I want an 02 R1. I think it's time to get a litre bike anyway

Steven/Dan, if you read this, what are the servicing intervals like on the R1? From what I've seen Kwaks need a major fairly often so I might want to avoid that.

Te R1 is every 6,000 IIRC although I always get an intermediate service at the start of the year just for my own peace of mind.

I'm only doing around 3,000 miles at most anyway

I hardly used my R1 last year so it only had the yearly service and I can't ride it at the moment cause my knee still isn't up to it

My KL250 has been off the road for the past year but I fixed it up over the last couple of weeks and got it MOT'ed and insured at the weekend. (This bike weighs feck all so I shouldn't have any problems riding it).

I will tax it next weekend.
