Yamaha YZF R1 2009 Engine Technology Explanation

Pretty damn cool, I had no idea they went that far in R&D. :eek3

To add to that,

While I couldn’t stand the looks of the old R1, this one is growing on me!

Yeah, people have been wondering if the cross-plane will transfer to the next generation R6. Given the craptastic motorcycle sales figures, I doubt it. I am not sure if there will be a new R6 for awhile and probably not 2011.

If I have the money to buy a brand new R1, I will get a S1000RR instead…:lol I am this close to selling my car so I can get that bike…:rofl
