[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

[@deansedgemore7956]

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Oh awesome, always great to have a fellow owner watching and passing on some tips! 😃 Those are on my most wanted list of improvements and I'm sure I'll be giving it a good going over in the garage too 😎👍

[@TheRhodes76]

Enjoyed that, the cross plane crank R1 is one of best sounding bikes 👌

[@HippoDrones]

Beast of a bike Griz, hope it is what you need it to be! :-)

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Thank you mate! 😃🙏

[@marko241]

riding the same bike for two years now...the noise in the clutch is 'normal'- from the springs on the clutch basket...and yes- around 3.500 rpms feels like a tractor :) that's normal for this bike...well it desires higher rpms and some speed :) but it purrs lika a cat when riden on higher rpms or 300km/h :) great bike...crazy bike..powerfull bike...

[@matthewella8280]

9:48 the clutch is generally noisy we had one to convert a quad and it made a racket but apparently its usual u can hear it a lot on ours i believe its a slipper clutch

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Yes as it turned out the clutch basket needed replacing on the one I had 😬👍

[@lambethlongshanks4791]

Gleaming bike, shipmate. Top banana.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Ah thanks mate, glad you approve 😎🙏

[@thumper2140]

Well Griz how's is it mate looks good sounds good goes good that's nice sorry I said I look at your vlog when I get to home. It's Monday night flipping hell Griz hope you don't mind anyway you take care and ride safe TTFN

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Hiya mate! Thank you, it'll do I guess 😂 Hey no need to fret, we all have busy lives. I hope you had a good Bank Holiday weekend and all is well with you! 😎🙏

[@Alic_R1]

We almost have the same bike!!! What windscreen's on yours?

[@gremlin2288]

Very nice m8 very very nice..........👍

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Thank you mate, thank you very very much! 😂👍

[@morayfirthbiker2516]

They do sound great. I thought you were going to be reducing the number of bikes you have?

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

They sound great don't they mate! Haha this is me thinning out the collection 🤣 Seriously though, I saw this one at such a good price that I decided to trade the monster in against it. I'm in the process of returning the hayabusa back to standard and also considering selling the 916 😉👍

[@BigPezza]

them bikes are horrbile at low RPM they need to be opened up. but if you think its more like that check over the bike air filters and sparks seemed to get skipped alot of the time.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Yep definitely not a happy bike below 30mph that for sure 😂 thanks mate, will do as I do all bikes that are new to me 😉👌

[@TheJmebe]

Your new bike looks and sounds great. Remember my first ever ride on an R1. Up to that point I'd only ridden an ER5 and a GSXF600. My god. It was slightly smaller, much lighter and more than twice the power... The old 'we thought it was one owner from new. As its has more, it's worth less..' sounds a bit suspicious.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Haha jeez mate that must have felt like quite a jump! 😲😂 something you never forget though 👌 yeah I was getting really annoyed during the transaction but stood my ground and made what should have been a pleasant experience a tad stressful 🙄

[@nokneedownian8521]

Think you found a dogging hotspot 😆

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Haha I think so too! 😅🤣🤣

[@mcc_1024]

Puig double bubble screen will make a huuuuge diffence.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Oh thanks for the tip mate, I'll check um out 😉👌

[@paulhemming159]

Just stuck a genuine rear seat cowl on eBay which came off my now sold 2012 Raven Black R1. If your interested Griz drop me a DM I'll sort you a good price.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Ah cool mate, I may well be up for that. How do I pm you? 🤔😂

[@paulhemming159]

I'm scratching my head on that as I don't want to stick my contact details here. If you look on eBay and type in R1 Raven Black my listing should come up we can speak on there. ?

[@paulhemming159]

By the way I'm the guy that met Taffy by accident at work a while back I was there with the wife and kids, you and I did speak breifly afterwards on twitter.

[@paulhemming159]

A nice touch for the Raven Black are the genuine tank and rear fairing gel badges in Gold as opposed to the stock silver.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

All good mate, yep I remember 👍 I think I found your listing and just sent you a message 😃👌

[@darkknight17]

How's the bike running, any issues?

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

I gave it back to the company I bought it from as I lost faith the in there ability to repair it

[@darkknight17]

@@SixthGearMotorcycles Oh no bro, what repair issues did you have? I

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

It needed a replacement clutch basket but the seller refused to replace it so I got a refund and gave them the bike back

[@darkknight17]

@@SixthGearMotorcycles smart move. The seller sounds like a nightmare. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and thanks for the response 🙂👍🏼
