Yup, what he said.... but a lot better than I could have said it... :D

Yes, the adjustable swingarm pivot, Ti rods, and 500 rpm higher rev limit are all for the track/racing, no value at all for the street. It's what they needed for SBK homologation, there was no consideration for making it a more attractive street "bling" collector bike as some of the prior R models were with carbon bodywork, fancy paint schemes (aka. Bayliss 1198R), etc.

Thats a good point
 
This R is all about track performance, not bling, so if you're getting it for the track I'd say yes. All but one of our R's is already pre-sold so they're going quick.

Right into the trailer to the track for break in...gonna wring that ..... out good!!
 
Apparently from what i read in motorcycle news, THEY NEED THE TI RODS as they have been breaking
I forget what team it is but theyve had all of their bikes break conrods
So it is definately a requirement if ur going to race one
Ive got mine on order, apparently the first shipnent to australia
 
MCN tested the R today in Texas. Full review next week...... Google MCN 1199R Texas to get the first impression.
