I Bought The CHEAPEST Yamaha R1 In The Country

[@michaelcrouch5708]

Tinkering with old sports bikes at JHS, talking crap, having a laugh, for me 44 teeth at its best, guess I'm easily pleased. My head says R1 my heart thinks Aprilla.

[@andyreynolds6194]

Amen mate

[@harryjackson8116]

100% agree, can't get enough of it

[@jontalman731]

@@harryjackson8116 mate, totally, flipping love all of this!

[@KrikkitWarlord]

As an Aprilia owner I obviously have to root for Chris this year, but this is a bargain for £1900! Well bought mate

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Boooooo hisssssss etc

[@KrikkitWarlord]

@@FortyFourTeeth if it's any consolation I've always been #teamFagan for the rest of the BBBs 🤣

[@ilvaporizzatore]

​@@KrikkitWarlord me too ❤🎉

[@ilvaporizzatore]

Anyway, the red Daytona at 10:30 is gorgeous.

[@HalfdeadRider]

It's certainly not the worst buy considering the year and mileage, I wouldn't call it a bargain considering the rest of it though.

[@brdllc]

The best looking r1 imo, and one of the best non Italian bikes of all time. The slightly shortened exhaust sounds surprisingly very good, has just the right amount of rasp to it. Can’t wait for the episodes to start rolling out! Also thank you lads for the consistent uploads lately it’s been keeping the voices away

[@Alic_R1]

We're all a little fruity in the R1 gang, good to have you on board mr Fagan

[@thfclewis]

That sounds wonderful.. can't wait to see Boothy' bike, this one is going to be class!

[@satanaz]

13:44 holy cow, you guys should open the theater screenings with James performing La Bamba live I never knew he was fluent in spanish and also such a gifted singer

[@erdsza89]

mint! can't wait to see Boothy's bike

[@dazzx10r]

I think we might have just seen it? Red Triumph 955i????

[@enzorum2560]

Hey mate, not sure if this is important to you but I've just fitted a second battery directly to the main battery (on my 5pw R1) using John walker cables and i installed the secondary battery under the pillion seat and it's a perfect fit doing wonders in starting

[@georgehgordy1690]

At 9:47 You belted out, Last Christmas by Wham! That was so moving, I thought I was going to cry.....Some times that happens when I laugh really hard... Lol.. Just messing with you.. Nice R1 BTW.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

😂

[@jonasbaine3538]

Isn’t that George Michael I think right?

[@georgehgordy1690]

@@jonasbaine3538 Yes it is George Michael but I think he was still in Wham when this song was recorded.. Take care and have a good one.. The other George.. Lol

[@flamintasty]

Cut down stumpy can, shorty levers, scuffed bodywork, indicator dangling…… Looks like Al has confused Get Your Rat Out with Budget Bike Battle 😂 It does sound better though 👍

[@ChrisPlow]

You know what I love about 44 teeth? Absolutely everything! The world needs more James’s

[@sibzy1]

Reckon Boothy has gone Ninja

[@michaelbuchan7570]

Hopefully. Getting fed up with all there R1's 😂😅

[@john25992]

I think Motul 7100 is red and that’s fully synthetic. Could well have been that oil in there. Better for the road than 300V.

[@steveman1982]

I concur

[@rc2634]

I had a good laugh 😂 "It's not that big btw" 11:00😂

[@springheeledjack81]

That slip-on turned out amazing

[@thektmkid6990]

I'm properly looking forward to this BBB ❤😁

[@tbrowniscool]

Same this awesome!

[@HalfdeadRider]

Fully synthetic is worth it in the old girl, I use their 7100 as it is perfect for road bikes, keeps the temps lower than with semi synth too, 300v certainly is not needed though.

[@ampelec]

So many good bikes out there for next to no money. New bike market might be in tatters but the used bike market is 🔥🔥

[@YuramekiSound]

Brilliant! I just spent my morning watching all the other episodes while working on my bikes. Perfect!

[@Pompomgrenade]

Haven't seen Silkolene, in years... Best two-stroke mix and chain lube when I could get it😢

[@BrandNew4U.]

I think the 1900 UK pound for "sporty" bike nowadays in Southern California dollars would likely get you a mid range 500-800cc bike with a carburetor and probably a salvage title that still probably don't run right. I squeezed in the "sporty" category with $1900 in 2017 for a 1998 fuel injected honda vfr800 interceptor (first big bike), and still own it. Worst of it was piss rear brake (rebuild needed to function) and slipping clutch, but it was a lot of power compared to a 250cc for sure. This may well be the best budget bike in the series, although the previous owner may have given him a more decent deal for 44T. I don't really hear the BBB series mentioning replacing vacuum lines because that was probably the biggest gain in horsepower "feel" and torque in my instance.

[@wolfurine]

Ah…Members Only comments section - I feel seen 😅 Cheers guys 🍻

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Hola!

[@andyb2311]

This BBB is going to be epic with all three of these boys

[@MattJ0109]

I was lucky enough to bump into Al and Chris at MCL last weekend. They were just leaving the Arai stand but still made the time to have a chat. Top lads 👌🏻

[@notJetplane]

Wow here in the US even the 2002 R1 starts at 6-7k

[@ManxAndy]

Less than 2k is just nuts…..still love the Aprilla though, plus I can’t wait to see Boothy’s …..👍👌🇮🇲😜

[@jpslaym0936]

This project is good example why I only buy Japanese motorcycles and avoid Italian/Austrian bikes like the plague (especially since I dont buy brand new bikes). These may be quite old late model sportsbikes, but the situation regarding engineering and manufacturing quality has changed today

[@adamc209]

Fantastic Nige! Always a treat on a Monday 👏🏻

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Cheers Nige

[@izmirazul9116]

Still great looking bike after 22 years 👍 I had blue one - 03 model - before I bought K5 gixxer in 2007. Great memories.

[@eikeljanuss]

Can't wait for the wrap

[@FortyFourTeeth]

I'm frothing

[@andyreynolds6194]

I tell you what, initially I thought you’d bought an absolute dog, but the more I see it the more I see gold.

[@wjlroe]

Gotta love that Bristol accent, I didn't need subtitles for most of the video because I grew up in Gloucester which speaks almost the same language

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Always enjoy your videos guys 👏🏻🇬🇧

[@KalenvS]

These types of videos are some of my favorite :)

[@Zorororonoav1]

Same engine mount bolt on my fz6 snapped in mine, same side, just welded a nut on the end and sent it.

[@tbrowniscool]

I swear Fagan wanted to cut that exhaust over world hunger

[@KentRoads]

I just bought one of these with 8K on it recently, have raw vids riding around on it

[@Flesharrower]

That was exactly like a kid in the shed with his dad, right down to handing him a clamp to keep him occupied on the wire wheel. Until he buggered it up.

[@LeeWhite26]

£1900 what a bargain 👌🏼

[@poz6294]

"I cant wait to see what it sounds like". Damn that ket spoon goes hard!

[@gnarshread]

You guys gotta do something about the cool old bikes JHS has kicking around the background.

[@SuperBounce1987]

Wait until they tell you about the exhaust I took them to tune up for me. It was the Jesters Trick Bits GP Stubby for the CBR929/954RR. Huge flat spot between 3-6k rpm. Sounded fucking bonkers though and we all couldn't stop laughing. It was that bad I could hear it on the dyno from the town centre (Was munching a Greggs at the time) Best £300 spent on something I ripped off within a week. It was just stupid. Took it back with the Arrow system, Not perfect but loads better. 149hp at the wheel on my 20yr old 954RR... Not bad at all!

[@slinkoplush3323]

'Sitting pretty on an 03 plate in Champagne Noir' lmao, Al.

[@joesheehan__]

Clutch had likely glazed up the clutch plates and then riding around since last time has de-glazed them. Has happened before at RWYB drag events where bikes are just on stock clutches. Hopefully wont come back!

[@barrycoughlan7382]

Ye make Mondays worth while thanks boys love the budget bike battles watched them all 👍
