      You sure? Nobody else seems to have a problem, and I checked with a few different computers, it seems to be working fine.

      Yakappa.. I got you something from US, at least for that you should spare me


      Lastly, I don't know if it really sunk in with you guys on how different the new R1 sounds, but here's a video of a Yamaha guy revving it.. It's from the Motegi track.

            OOOOO Mann !! awesome write up there... lotta tech stuff poured in but easy to understand for a novice like me !! great work buddy

            I Liked everything in this 09 R1 except for that headlights section.. i seriously admire the dual low and high beam lights of 08 model mad.. this new version somehow doesnt appeal to me in looks though it looks meaner

                        I finally got to read what was a long time coming. Enjoyed every bit of it. But even with 1.6L more, I am not jumping on to this baby. Not yet. My priorities are changing it seems. But I will be keeping a watch on these babies nonetheless. Thanks immensely for bringing out the article. Really enjoyed reading every bit of it.

                        Now I think it is time for the V-Max to be out in the open!
                        The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!
