    good writeup, would have liked some street riding inputs also though, but a yammy is still the best (personal opinion)

          Has this bike been featured in the Masterbike shoot-out yet??
          I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

                I've heard people bashing about the new looks of 09 R1!
                But to me it just looks as sexy as the previous R1'S!!

                  Exxxactly, even I like this look. Although, given the 2 together, I would prefer the killer headlamps look of the 07/ 08...

                  But, this ain't bad anyways. Good thing about India, is that the exhausts can be removed anyday. I mean, Royal Enfields can survive this, then why not these ...?

                    Whoa ... thats expensive !!! More than the Busa I guess !! If I remember correctly when I was in UK, it used to be something like GBP 7999. (Damn these Indian Keyboards dont have the pound sign!!!!! )

                    Also, they have already released a teaser of a comparo between R1 and the 'Blade at MCN website. And it seems most of the testers like R1 better !!

                    And ya the whole world is actually eager to know if 09R1 trumps the 'Blade !! But I somehow feel the dark horse might just be K9 GSX-1000 !! It seems the Jap big fours have again accelarated development of the liters !! Good for us !!
                    Add to that Aprillia RSV4, Duke 1198 and the new inline4 1000 from BMW and we are in for a heady mix !!
