'07 R1?
Usually, this time of year, all of the 'facturers have released their new models...but strangely enough, nothing has surfaced on the '07 R1....anybody seen anything?

The tach now revs to 18,000. Not the bike, just the tach.

Re: '07 R1?
eh....It's just "ok"....I was expecting more...something more radical...but I guess it's logical they stay in the same vein as the '06 R6....I'm sure it's gonna have a slipper, a few engines improvements, etc....I'd have to see it in person....strangely enough, I am really feeling the '07 Kwak 6R...oh well...

Re: '07 R1?
I think it's lost a lot of its sleekness. The lights and scoops are awkward shapes and the lines of the bike aren't as cohesive. I wonder if the motor has any torque this time?

From what I have heard/read, it looks like no major changes. Just some swingarms, bodywork and BNGs...

Re: '07 R1?
THat looks strange to me how they did their variable length stacks... I would have expected them to "telescope" rather than separate. The way they separate makes it look like there'd be some turbulence. But what do I know? No doubt that the changes will fatten up the fluffy bottom end of the current R1.
