The Road Racing World review is up in the April issue now if you have an online subscription.

Chris Ulrich LOVED it.
 
Yup, saw that. Good to see Japan back in the game after a long period in the hurt locker. Be interesting to see the next salvos from Honda and Suzuki. Probably be a year, but you know they're coming...

Off topic, but also interesting to see the early reports from the H2/H2R launch. Superbike's writeup was a fun read. Bike sounds better dynamically than I'd have expected, with the as-expected, absolutely mental motor. They also have a nice piece on the R1, with glowing praise. Bring on the shootouts!

Hayden let it slip during one of his interviews that one big reason he was excited about his two year deal with Yoshimura Suzuki was that next year they were getting a new 1000.

Honda and Kawi have to update soon, the exception for RBW in WSBK expires year after next.

Reg she is looking sexy.


As we thought Akra stayed with the H2 exhaust look for the full r1

Arrow just post videos and HP #s and it looks like 189hp for the R1(Full titanium system). MotoRapido posted their dyno #s for the new R, 200.4 HP with slip ons......

Not really a fair comparison though...based on different dynos being used...right??
 
Don't be hatin Juice you know you want one ;)

you know, I've been debating on building an R for the cost of my current bike (as a B bike for race) and buying a R1. then I come to my senses and say fuck that, aint nothing fucking with the R. Excuse the grammar and language.
 
The MCN shootout. I can't find scans of the shootout big enough to read. lol You can see the best laptimes of each bike... the R1 was the quickest (but 1299 is the most powerful).
