    I second, third and fourth that!

    PS: haha nope no speedy upload bonus from Yamaha but we do have the ability of not having to wait months after the test to get the story out there. Yay for technology! ACE!

    They sound good with a set of Scorpion pipes - still look shitty though!

    Never met an unhappy R1 owner - only very very happy ones.

    Very well engineered bikes but just not my cup of tea.

    There's only one thing wrong with the R1, and it doesn't matter which way you look at it, still the same problem .................. DMNTD has one!

    Nice to see you quote the wet weight. Not one of the bullshit, plucked out of the air, dry figures.
