New R1?

 

[snowbizx]

oh no, not this again

if they want to do something worthwhile in updating the R1, give it enough power to match the other bikes. Even the Honda has more power now...sheesh, we cant have that.

My buddy was telling me he saw this thing where Rossi was riding the R1 at some press event and was straight up clutching it midcorner to get more power out of it...but then, as we saw at MotoGP, Rossi is no mere mortal. Either way, the R1 needs a little help.

Those are different pictures than everyone else has posted up far. I hope Yamaha puts the R1 back on top.

It's all speculation at this point... one thing did leak out though... Mamola let it slip that the new R1 will be the size of the R6... :nocontrol

thats pimp if it true, I wonder how the weight distribution will be.

The looks of the R1 is not the problems, though it is getting a little long in the tooth....

I sure hope so, The new CBR1000RR weighs less than a Gsxr 600.
If the pic that AirForce.R6 put is is even close to the production model than Yamaha is heading in the right direction. Less fairing coverage is what Honda did to shed some weight. I cant wait for more information to come out about it

hopefully it wont follow honda's lead in being uglier than fricken sin. The Honda may be bad ass, but sheesh...I would gnaw my arm of if I woke up next to it....

The exhaust kills it on that bike. Im not a fan of it at all.

thats a good looking r1, as long as you get rid of that huge ugly exhaust. but with that huge exhaust, its not so appealing to my eyes.
