Just been looking at some pics of next years R1. OK so I am a happy owner of an 07 10r but its taken alot of flack for its 'wheelbarrow' exhaust. Don't know what you guys think but Yamaha have always done well in the past with the R1 style design so I just wondered what others thought of it.

prefer the 10 tbh

Yamaha's R1 is probably the best looking underseat exhaust model but this is a backward step if you ask me.

[GRNINJA]

agreed ... defo a backwards step the 04 r1 is still the best looking

looks nice to me with the shortie cans to be honest



however, this motogp inspired no tail end will take a while for me to like it 

[slapknacker]

mmmm, duno yet. do like 04/ 08 R1's.

not so sure with this one.

mind you i said that about the new blade, and i realy like that now.

Looks like it wants to be a KTM Superduke to me!!

Lol f**k me, waiting 3 years then nicking the wheelbarra zorsts off me 10R you've gotta laugh, there again when anyone sez yeah not bad those 06/07 10R's but.... what boot the wheelbarra handles, i can just point & say seen the new R1 fool, just goes to show you how ahead of it's time the 06/07 ZX10R really was, but only in black obviously.

I think it'll be awesome, seemed to have centralized the mass for better handling etc , gonna be a good fight between all the thou's again next year, the Blade will have a fight on it's hands.

looks shit..........but then i thought the same about the blade untill i saw it at the NEC
c'mon suzuki,yr turn to show us wot ya got

[ZX10R-RACER]

yes that looks shit but theres nothing yamaha can do about are gay emission laws, but just think what it would look like with a full system?
the r1 has and will always be a great bike personally i think one of the best looking bikes out there.
But and its a big but i cant get on with one i dont think the front end is as good as the zx10r. Could just be me and my riding style.
