New R1 sound

Does sound fantastic.
saw it on yamaha stand at excel show, am I the only one who thinks the back end is really ugly ? Looks like the back end of the suzuki B-king. only my opinion :dunno
 
I had a good look at it on the Yam stand at the NEC.

Whoever came up with the white/purple scheme needs committing to an asylum, it's hideous.

The Black/gold bike looked ok but why the cans coming out the side of the rear cowl so a passengers legs go over the top. It just looked wrong and made it look like a bloater from behind.

Other than that i didn't dislike the rest in the right colour but the fairing panels were like cardboard so i wouldn't like to drop it.
 
Here you go, a 2009 R1 road bike with race cans on a dyno...don't know about you but I think it sounds a bit like a rsv at full chat!...

Dr Wobbly would concur, does sound like a mille on full blat. Watching the other footage is it just me or does that R1 seem awful quick?? Think poor hagasan missed the boat, if yamaha don't win WSB i'll eat the missus knickers :eatcorn
 
It must take some balls to ride like spies on that long sweeping left hander!!
