Stolen from Colliers Wood SW London - Yamaha R1 2003 LK03UDW

Hi, thought it might be worth my while posting up here incase anyone spots it.

Stolen from Colliers Wood (near Wandle Park) about 5-6PM on Sat 18th Feb.

It has an aftermarket stubby exhaust which is very loud, and has just had a pair of Dunlop Sportsmart tyres fitted :frowning:

It also had a sat nav mount attached to the handlebars, it had a scratch on the rear swing arm that was also quite distinctive.

Mileage was around 29000 miles… any info please let me know.

Sorry - can a mod move this to the Bike Talk section please :doze:

Hi mate, whats the registration number?

Was it secure when stolen or just left on the road?

Reg is in the title

LK03 UDW

:blush: So it is…

It was just on the road outside my house :frowning:

I travelled down from Manchester that day, so after dealing with the M6 traffic and finally getting back down to London I was so tired… so I thought I’d have a 20 minute kip before going out to get some shopping in.

I had the my chain and lock underneath the seat and I thought, I’m going out again soon, it’ll be alright… woke up 2 hours later and it was gone.

I check eBay daily to see if anything comes up, there is a scratch on the swingarm which is quite distinctive, and the exhaust I had imported from the US so you don’t see many around.

Ah well, an expensive lesson learned.

I have the same bike and work in clapham, so will keep an eye out. Sorry to hear about that.

Long shot…

But got to be worth a tour of estates and bike bays in area. They might be worried about a Tracker so may put it somewhere to see if it gets flagged up

(Don’t say whether it has or hasn’t got a tracker on here…)

Bit of leg work and you might get lucky but it needs to be done ASAP. You never know…

Any CCTV in the area where you parked it? Any chance of getting hold of it?

Hmmm the OP says it was stolen in February.

Unless that’s a typo, I very much doubt after 7 months you’ll hear something. :frowning:

You are right… I just assumed this was still ‘live’ :frowning:

I think the OP just came across LB and decided to post it as a just in case (he posted in September). I don’t blame him because there’s always that something in the back of your head telling you: ‘I might still find it’

Yes sorry, it happened a few months ago. I thought it better to post in a regional forum… because you never know someone might recognise something now or in the future.
