It was so nice,

I had to listen twice

actually a lot more than that.

just testament that there is beauty to be found in engineering.

BTW, can anyone find a downloadable of that sound? appears to be a flash application that runs it.

There are a couple akra vids on YouTube

[tWeEzy]

sounds a lot better in person. Had the chance to mess wit one while in orlando two weeks ago.

[Devil1]

Hell the first time I'll see an 09 in person is when I'm signing papers!

WHATS IT GONNA SOUND LIKE WITH PIPES?????????????????????

[Devil1]

That is with pipes. There are also a few different videos on YouTube of it with akras, two bros, and graves.

[xrocket21]

Oh? I thought it was stock pipes :o

They have one at Razees in Rhode Island, I was checking it out yesterday. We revved it up a bit, I have to say, it sounds EXACTLY like a Honda VFR. Which is to say pretty damn sexy.
The finish of the bike, all the parts, the whole deal is VERY impressive. Rock on to whoever picks up one of these bad boys.

I was there yesterday as well and saw no such bike. The only R1 I saw was a blue 08, I even had to take a double look and check out the headlights to make sure. One thing I'm 100% sure on, if there was one there, Manny (sales manager) would have pointed it out to me

[schleppy]

I will buy an inline four when they can make a naked version that sounds like that. Cross-plane FZ6? Yes please!

That got my hopes up. I was hoping they were finally in the Ne. I'm tired of waiting.

Every new model R1 I have had to wait for has hit the NE area around mid March It may come as a surprise, but I've had to wait for a few

I did tell you I'm inviting myself up for a test ride didn't I

Devil1, if it makes you feel any more betterer, I saw a 09 R1 today with my own eyes at Freedom cycles in Concord, NH.
Love everything about the looks except the exhaust. It was side by side with a R6..a very hot looking red/white/silver R6 I might add..and the R1 looks small than the 6, at least from the front. Love the looks of the headlights in person

Listened to the sound clip again. How about that 5th to 6th gear ratio difference.

It sounds very close..almost so close that it sounds like it was in 6th already and they went for another gear? Could have taken off in second?

I'd buy that.

[ri-gixxer]

It sounds amazing, the new R1 seems to be one heck of a bike.
