GO!!!!!

the news which i was waiting for since the 09 was launched!!! atlast the blade is behind. now i like the new 09 R1s look and its PERFORMANCE!!!

The One reigns in the Blade's reign at the top..!!
Maverick khush hua. Sunny gussa hoga

eagerly waiting for sunny's response

you guys getting ready to pull Sunny's leg???

What'd u do if Sunny returns and says he's now liking the R1 (after riding so much for the Passion Hunt)???

hurray for the mighty one.... its good to know that it has beaten the perfect blade..., only if the production cycles of both the bikes would have started in the same year then we would have a head to head fight of new tech vs. new tech.

@hydbiker: i don't feel sunny would be saying that.

wow wow wow....i have been waiting for this one guys.....Great new....

this video is it there in youtube? If yes please anyone give me the link yaar....

Great new guys i am so happy to hear this....

Right...as of now, the R1 rules...lets see how it fares against the next version of the Blade...

Exactly...but this was what yamaha fans were saying when R1'08 was compared with the Blade'08.......

There is a very good possibility for 09Blade to change position the next year....

Let the yamaha fans just enjoy the happiness as long as R1 remains at the top

Good comparo...

well, these four japs are like the bosses....always raising the bar for each other and this is good....ya its not necessary that all of them would upgrade their bikes at the same time...infact, the Fireblade have always been the easiest motorcycle to ride in its category but still Honda took quite some time to come out with the latest incarnation which actually blasted everything else...

...now this year seems to be the year of the Yamaha with their R1, its only good and we'll again see in 2010 who raises the bar again!

Still, Fireblade remains the easier bike to ride, however, this time R1 comes out with bottom end torque which was always missing in it till last year compared to the Honda.

However, I somehow feel that it was Yamaha's incapability to produce the Fireblade like torque with the normal inline 4 engine layout...their YCCT & YCCI didn't help much...in the end, they had to completely go out of their way and had to use the M1 like firing order in order to achieve more torque...and they seem to have got it and infact better!!!

In any way, its good that one of my favorite motorcycles seems to have finally got that v-twin like grunt and torque...and I am only happy

Bottomline....buy a Blade or the R1...it doesn't really matter

Well, people who choose the Yamahas over other bikes....dont care which bike tops these magazine tests. Its just the feeling one gets after you swing a leg over the Yams that is unmatched....

It all boils down to personal preference and what sets your heart racing.
It has always been Yamahas for me

heheh...and I m sure people feel the same way when they own Honda, Zuk and Kawa or Duc or Aprilia...

Man, are we biased towards the one or what!! Its hightime Honda did some PR here.

Nonetheless, theres the Gixxer to come. It could leave both of them behind for all we know.

Its just the bragging rights

people who have cbr 600 says that the new cbr1000rr 09 model is very nimble and easy to ride...on that note cbr 09 model wins our hearts,i thought if we have money what bike should we go for 09 r1 or 09 cbr...confusing ? lol
