Lights could be integrated and styled better for the road and a lot of lines seem to copy the Ducati's Panigale.. Maybe its how all the bikes are being styled now???

Well race fairing trim wouldn't matter though!! :cool: got lots of fancy bits and pieces of electronics in it.

would I buy one... probably yes for track use.. not warranted for road use IMO

and Launch control at 10,000rpms on a big bike!!! :lalala:

[Marshy]

Good to see a Jap manufacturer having a red hot go at technology on a production bike. It's been a while between drinks.

[Baddie]

Lets hope its nothing like the 2014 one I rode only a few weeks go.....Fken heavy and turns like a truck.

Special edition 25,000 Pounds

I can see Mr Ducati has bumped it up to 1299cc now.

Now this would be a weapon...You wata go fast put a supercharger on it :peace:

They just love making recent models totally obsolete, don't they.

[Phat3R]

Why not just play video games with that amount of electricery? .

[Marshy]

I'm just waiting for the bikes to ride themselves.... It's forward planning for when I'm geriatric and can't ride by myself anymore.

Its just a production version of the superstock bike though :( I was hoping for more WILD!

The new bits are the titanium exhaust valves and the oval valve springs - that will be good for more RPM, which it will need because of the revised cam lift

[Marshy]

Totally agree. I'm expecting a limited edition homologation special soon.

Hey, check this out!

I think you are forgetting the word "Supercharged"...Its not how much Hp you have its how fast you get there.

My question is "Are the new Kawa's permited to race is Aussie racing?".....I'm betting wetty will have one soon!.

[Kris]

Every race regulation I've seen says no forced induction. Besides, that piece doesn't go around corners - it weights 240kg.

[Baddie]

That's funny its seem to turns ok :bolt:

R1 still tickles my fancy...

[Metal-Man]

[Marshy]

You've gotta love a bike that comes standard with a front number board..... in ROAD trim!! :peace:

Nope. Not for the forseeable future. I spoke to wetty a while back about it, and it's just not gonna happen.

[senator8]

Funny that. Looks like a M1 with lights ;)

[Saturnalian]

That said. I should confess... Your times always look a lot better than mine.

Yup!! <drool>

[Marshy]

I, for one, am eternally grateful to Yamaha that it looks nothing like the old R1. Fark me! I wouldn't have been seen dead riding one of those ugly mofos.
