This particular R1 is timeless. Better looking than many new bikes out there.

Awww it's like the old days. Solo Sue Perkins rambling on.

"I've got a brand new S21 on the front..." Meanwhile it's clearly visible that they are S22 :)

I feel proud to of funded part of this bike 🤪😂 (I bought those hideous pipes)

I love the 44 tubes, and I love the Statham, but that 20 minutes of solo BvG was like becoming reacquainted with an old lover. ❤

Motorcycle on youtube with stock cans on - how refreshing.

"the inditacor, the indita', the inditicato.. FUCK! INDICATOR!! “ I died😂

I welcome the return of the now Un-Budgeted Bike Battle

"S21's on the front" - it's gotten S22's moulded on the wall :'D

Chris is an absolute savage towards Al in this 😂 Can't wait for the series when it comes out (in 2034)

2005 R1 raven is my daily commute :) has been for a year now

Me thinking: "Did you just get off the wrong side of the bike" Baron 2 seconds later: "I'm gonna get on this side of the bike just cause I know it annoys some weird people"

"You might be able to win this bike..." "Oooooooo!" "And the other one!" "Uuuhhhh....."

I had a 04 R1, that bike blew me away how fast and easy it was to ride in the turns.

Still one of the best looking bikes made. I personally prefer this to the new R1M

all the power's right at the top.... of course it is.... you've lockwired the exhaust valve open!

Been riding almost every day of my life since 5 years of age and still on occasion forget the chin strap!! Now I don’t feel so bad!!!

Phone blocking the speedo, brilliant!

You two legends make by far the best Motorcycle content on KZfaq. Its informative, funny, diverse and you generally beat other creators to the punch when it comes to uploading new and relevant info regarding new release bikes etc. Keep up the great work cos we love it here in Australia.

Funnily enough. I've just bought the 2006 R1 in black. What a beast!! Absolutely love it!!

Cracking vlog Chris, love the R1 progress , unlike many others, you actually read the road and back off at loaded junctions while giving the commentary. Good luck.

The prettiest and my favorite of all the R1 shapes

Been waiting soo long for an update on BBB this is keeping me entertained whilst at work! Keep up the good work guys 🤘🏻

"its a Triggers broom" hahaha

I have an OE rear hugger you can have for free. Keep all that winter crud off that beautiful Öhlins shocker! #teamR1

This bike is still beautiful in 2020 🔥🔥🔥

Is James feeling any better? Also like that you're involved with bemoto, they've been so easy to deal with for me, great 44teeth excess deal and really competitive on pricing

Chris! This bike absolutely rocks, mate! Seriously, I think it's beautiful. I am confident your steed is going to compete well in this new battle. I can't wait for you guys to get started.

Love this channel. You guys take me back to my roadracing and motocross racing days back in the 1990's Keep up the good work and top quality videos! My dream bike is that Ducati Panigale of course. But that budget R1 is all i really need. Sweet bike it is

The R in this R1 stands for Revenant.

You have no idea how much I have been looking forward to this episode!!

Thanks Baron, I’m buying one of these tomorrow!

Really do love the R1 , it looks fantastic sounds like a beast . And I'm confident the R1 will win hands down.

Can I just say.. You guys have the best motorcycle channel on KZfaq. Diverse, rich and not so serious. Enjoying every notification. Thanks

chris, my favourite videos of yours, including both 44teeth and BvG, are your solo ones, especially your solo tour videos. I would love to see you do more of that sort of stuff. thats no dis of Al at all, or the 44t videos which I also enjoy, but my personal favourites are solo BvG trips. that stuff's gold. I appreciate that that isn't always doable for a multitude of reasons, but just putting it out there. chris on a BvG solo video, is a different chris to the 44t chris. BvG chris is one of the most entertaining ramblers out there.

RIP that lovely ohlins shock without the hugger fitted 😖😖 Easy win though, team R1 ✊✊

Pheonix - risen from the ashes. I'm a Honda man but that does look good.

A few years back I saw an add with one of these for a very attracting price. I was reluctant and didn't go for it. Then found out a friend of a friend got it and it was actually in great shape, still has it today. Great video, put a smile on my face. Cheers!

Yes like the old days Chris 😂 brilliant mist the day when you rambling on to work. Thanks from Danny

This video just reminds me of a BvG old school vlog, love it

Really enjoyed this, great to see how the R1 has come along. I think Fagan was the only one who couldn’t see that GSXR was going to be trouble but fair play to him for sticking to his guns 😄👍🏻. Ride safe Gents 👍🏻

So glad you’ve got her all sorted 👍🏻 Looking forward to a proper bike battle 😃 Go team R1!! YaY 💪🏻

Episode 1,452 of the BBB4 and they're still in England...

Did you finally learn that a loud exhaust on a 2000 mile journey isnt a good idea lol

Bringing us through the dam winter, nice one lads! ⭐😎⭐

Got booted off recently and bemoto where ace with me, highly recommend them and great to see you boys working with them and promoting great companies. And thanks for the 44teeth excess discount ;)

Bloody fantastic. That temporary traffic light skip is a god-send on the country lanes.

I remember when this came out in 2004... (at the time) The most beautiful lookin' sickle in all of christendom! (yea.. even with the Duc 998 sitting looking side-eye at it.. This was the one the 'everyman' could afford.)

I had an 07. It was like a bicycle with 160hp! I loved that thing.

R1's are so good looking I had 1 9 years never had a issue and real world fast bike loved it . Great vid Baron

10:54 - I was at a rally at that pub last year. Bit of useless info for you all !! Keep up the good work guys team R1 all the way !! Sorry Statham 😬😬

Good timing, just about to sit down for my tea 👍👍

Love the BBB, and R1 looks fantastic.

This was definitely a golden era for superbikes. What a lovely looking thing.

Been waiting for this!

Nice placeholder vid, I’d nearly forgotten about the trip. Looking forward to Chris having a ball, and not looking forward to al having a mare. Props.

I always loved that hump/bridge near Tisted that you went over. Happy times :D

BBBs back!!! The Budgets shot,ran over, and burned in a field!!! So Replace the front disc - We do want you guys safe!! Great to hear a moto-vlog BVG!! See ya!

Beautiful bike bro. Really enjoyed watching the ride. Hello from Australia

Looks proper fresh Chris! Good job.

Totally team R1. What a lovely looking bike, great job Baron, I'd love to own one like it.

2:50 ROFL! Your personality make this channel great. We all struggle with words from time to time. God damn gear indicadedoritors lol

Loving what you’ve done to the R1 Chris, I am a Suzuki man myself but I have been considering one of these as they’re cheap as chips and a good starter for a fast road and track bike. The mods you have made make it the bollocks

Had a 5vy for 5 years, cracking bike never missed a beat.

Amazing video as always!

Good luck with the BB! Im definitely team Yamaha! R1 is looking the business and anyone would be proud to own it!

Ah so thats what Loomies looks like this time of year!?! Love the 44T content Chris and Al. #DOUBLEBLOODYDECKER!

I'm rooting for the K5 because I love a good upset.

Nice work Baron, bike looks mint 👌

After all these years...it still is a beautiful motorcycle!!!

Man, that's one sexy Machine right there! Al knows deep down that he's lost the BBB.......

BVG. I get the biggest giggle out of seeing you ride roads that I travel for work when I am in the UK even though I live in the USA. Its uncanny. I believe I speak for all of us when I say, about bloody time we had another BBB update. Lol

Love it when a BBB notification pops up.

Looks brand new man!

Such a beautiful bike, Yamaha does not disappoint.

Beautiful Bike Baron! 4 the BBB - Good Job (I also love Gear Inti-dat-ers ;-P

Yes boys so glad ur back with bbb.

Guess I’m gonna take a 20 minute poo

She looks beautiful. Sounds great as well. The subtle things you’ve given her are perfect. Not overdone, not overly expensive 👌

Good to see this video, i had given up on BBB4.

I’m a motocross person I go track and have raced for a while now looking to get my bike license and was looking at these I’ve always liked them but heard mixed things about them but you’ve just sold the idea to me thanks 👍 keep up the good content

I have been waiting for a new BBB episode 😃 can't wait until the trip begins! Even though the k5 have had a shitload of problems I'm still on the k5 side 😎

Nice to see Loomies' car park with a few bikes in it on a grey chilly February day 😁

Love it! Great vid bro

I can't remember the last time I heard Baron this happy 😂😂

Cheers for this was sitting in bed ill as shit! Was nice meeting you the other weekend at moto line BVG

Should be called "loft parts battle" 😁

Got an 07 R1 with 58,000 miles healthy as can be. About to do valves for the 3rd time xD. Been tracked multiple weekends the last 3 seasons. Looking to track it this season as well. I gutted and packed the stock cans with an AR baffle kit and did an Akra mid pipe and Y pipe smog block offs and an air filter. Dynoed at just under 170whp. Ftecu quickshifter. I love it. So much. R1 has it for sure in BBB4.

Really enjoyed that, beautiful R1 👌🤓

Oh gosh a video with just the Baron himself. Looking good mate.

I rode an '05 R1 for 7 years. Very civilized, user friendly superbike with superb reliability and ease of maintenance. Looks good too. Very good value for money. A shame we can't say the same about the Suzuki in this particular instance.

14:05 “it’s got wheels that aren’t bent” immediately rides over some horrible bumps lol.

Ah, a video like the good old times.... All we need is some London traffic to go along with the rambling :)

It's such a good looking bike - love it

I just knew the triggers broom was coming, and it still cracked me up 😂 👍🏻

man i missed u VLOGGING love ya man TEAM R1

GEAR UNDERTAKER! Just kidding. I always love the look of the old R1.

The double act is always entertaining but I do enjoy listening to BVG muttering on 😀team R1 👍🏻

Great bike I remember your video when u bought a Kawasaki ninja got myself a zx6 r 2001 great videos u guys do

Team R1!
