vomit, its horrifically ugly. Ugly almost seems to be a nice term

but if it sounds like that video then id buy it.

Yeah, it does sound hot in the video.

Looks pretty good! I like the look of the red and white 2008 R1 though. I hope my dad gets the 08 or 09 sometime soon!

Sort of, its more a long bang than a big bang.
.... Besides because of the technological trickery this bike contains it may be the most significant advance in sports bikes since the original GSXR, I'd have one on those reasons alone.

Hell yes. That uneven firing order will be a real bonus for road use. It may encourage a lot of V-twin riders back to il-4s.

That is fugly but way better looking than the new fartblade

180 hp and Still No Traction Control ???!!!
Still gotta sell fairings I guess.

Silly question but is that 180 HP at the crank or at the wheel? I never saw any hp measurements

Should issue them standard to the pollies... it'd get Uncle Helen to the rugby on time... possibly be quick enough for Winnie to dodge some of the crap coming his way LOL

OK - back to serious mode. YUM! I love the R1s anyway... this looks like another fine example.

It is fukin ugly, whats the black n red one all about! and the flames on the yellow one FFS!

The first one was the best one in my book, hard edged and raw, fukin luved mine.

really dunt like the look of it ehh..man what have they done?? really loved the look from the 04 to the 07's...08 wasnt that bad but the 09's light's look like the eyes of a P fiend in town on a saturday night..specs look amazing though especially with the uneven firing rate engine and the sounds is farkin amazing bt the front kills it for me.

[bomma]

like everything except the exhausts....would look mint with a single undertail can!! mean specs though.....sounds gooooooooooood

Hmm might have to wait until they arrive - the new CBR looked a bit...in photos but is sweet in the flesh, the new Rotax Buell looked naff in the photos and well, the front still looks naff in the flesh

Surprised regarding the high pipes.
