Budget 2006 R1 is AWESOME! BBB4 

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 two legends make by far the best Motorcycle content on RU-vid. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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!

"its a Triggers broom" hahaha

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

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.

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 👍🏻

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

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 ;)

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

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

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

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

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 😬😬

The prettiest and my favorite of all the R1 shapes

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

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

Phone blocking the speedo, brilliant!

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

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.

Love the BBB, and R1 looks fantastic.

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

Looks proper fresh Chris! Good job.

This bike is still beautiful in 2020 🔥🔥🔥

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

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

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

The R in this R1 stands for Revenant.

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

Amazing video as always!

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 😎

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

Been waiting for this!

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

Nice work Baron, bike looks mint 👌

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

Loved my 5vy. A tip if you haven't already is put fresh coolant in before your trip. These like to overheat in traffic on old stuff and spit it out the over flow tube.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looks brand new man!

Love it! Great vid bro

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

i have a 04 r1, so im already on the r1 team... cant wait for this bbb4 see what happens this trip

I used to love mine. I had the raven edition too. Don't see many about. Lovely paint in the sun

Love it. Got my 1st road bike in Feb. GSF650 SAK9...... spending a year or 2 on that , but already looking at litre bikes!, 😀

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.

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

I had one of these, really great bikes!

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

For the track I would add 3 - 4mm on the shock length, I raced one in 06 in bsb stock 1000, found it was a bit stiff to turn and under steered a bit until back was jacked up just a little

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

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

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

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

Very nice bike. Think the r1 is 1 of the best looking bikes out there. Keep it up boys.👍

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

The quickshifter. Did you get any silicon spray near it? I did with my 899 quickshifter and it stopped working. I had to take the shifter apart and clean the silicon away from the gubbins in it to make it work again.

Yes boys so glad ur back with bbb.

See... now THIS is a brilliant way start of BBB! - Getting in the head of you guys - each on your own. If Al could do a little video similar just before you go. Like Phil_H writes, this is right down BvG memory lane and im LOVING it! A full 20 minutes without a single skip forward in the video!

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

I owned that exact model.. Great bike. Painted it 50th anniversary white and red with all the graphics.

Looks amazing

It's such a good looking bike - love it

So beautiful! Used to have the same one.

Really enjoyed that, beautiful R1 👌🤓

Great bike, had a 2007 R1, loved it. On the MT10 now.

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

I absolutely love my 04/06 R1 they are one of the most amazing years. Found my current one 2 years ago mint with 715 original miles. Sitting now at close to 8,000 miles. Love the top end rush. I have so many mods ready to install but so far she is still mostly stock.

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

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

I believe the Power Commander needs the "Ignition Module" as well in order for the Quickshifter to work as well as it does on a modern bike. With just the PC5 and QS load cell alone you're only cutting fuel to the bike during shifts which is nowhere near as precise as cutting ignition. I removed my DynoJet QS from my bike because it was destroying my transmission with all of the false neutrals due to bad cut-off timing. If the bike didn't come with QS from the factory it's best to leave it well enough alone. Unless you have ages of time figuring out and tuning the right millisecond of cut-off for each gear and load condition.

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