    "Yamaha says the R1 produces 182 hp at 12,500 rpm, which should be enough for anyone riding on the street. "

    SHOULD be enough. HAHAHAH haha ha ha.
    But seriously, that bike is nasty, I love the headlights.

    haha ya, I mean I can't stand when I'm street racing a mustang and want to beat it by 100 bike lengths and I only beat it by 77. I also hate when I am trying to make a safe pass and I can only accelerate upto 180mph

    So, the uniplanar crank needs a counter balancer, but a big bang setup with a traditional crank accomplishes the same thing, sans the need for the counter balancer...

    Why is Yami opposed to a big bang setup? : )

    180 hp and 450-some-odd lbs



    Who cares what the headlights look like? You'll be at warp speed all the time....I don't think it'll matter too much.

    damn that was a long article.


    don't really like the front or rear, but the side profile isn't too bad. should be hilarious to ride, though, which is the important thing...
