The new exhausts stick out the side too much. Easily changed with aftermarket ones I know. The rest looks pretty much the same as usual....really good!

I think the exhausts are fine... Oooh, that's a nice looking bike...

I want one, but can't justify paying for one! Haha!

Anyone giving one away for free? :)

I think it's hideous (compared to previous R1s), but the inlets around the lights are nice. Given all the tech inside though, that wouldn't stop me from owning one, it's a very cool piece of kit.

In raven/candy red with a set of akra's or a side mounted shorty conversion, a tail tidy and mini indicators. Luvely jubbly. :niceone:

looks, (imo), are irrelevant on sports bikes.they come after performance and handling.

but if you haven't already checked it out,you got to hear the sound of the new engine.
i'd buy one for the sound alone =)
