Re: '05 Black R1
I think the R1 is a great looking bike, just not in black!! I think the 1000RR is muck nicer looking bike in the all black color scheme!!

I really like the finish on this years and but the looks of it next years body work on the R1 and the rick deep colours are great but that where my appreciation of the bike ends.

That's a nice looking bike. I like the subtle red bead around the rims. I want one.

A lot better looking than the new Gixxer, but it's certainly no 999R .

190 HP at the rear wheel this time?

Re: '05 Black R1
Red striping on the rims? Reminds me of vintage "Hot Wheels".

For example: Nomad

I like it - but it still wouldn't be my first choice in the liter class...unless I was buying solely on looks...

I like it, its so sexy. I still want the ZX10R over it though even through its problems, I like center up exhaust but still kinda think its best left to Ducati. but the yoshi dual cans under that R1 tail do look really really nice.

A friend of mine says the exhaust on his R1 is a bad design as the emissions recirculate up the back of his jacket and it smells so bad that he can't hang it in the house.

Skull, didn't your 954 get ripped off before you moved into your house? And don't you have an insurance check right about now?

Shopping are we?

Edit: for the record, yeah, the bike looks damned cool to me. But so does the 10R and the 1000RR as well. The upcoming Gixxer though? (IMO)

Of course humping any Yamaha, let alone an R1 is worse than humping your sister.

Unfortunately I won't be in the maket for awhile. Day care is really eating into my new bike fund. I got 5k from USAA after my deductable.

The new stripe in Dec should help, so we'll see...
