      See the UK Honda site and check the 360 degree view of the r1. The swingarm is red.

        Rest assured. He's got the skills...

          @Fireblah, sorry to say i think there is no white/red combo for 2010. Only Full White, Blue/White with Gold crome alloy & suspension & Full Black with Gold crome alloy & suspension. I think you need to contact your dealer before its too late.

            This would be a case of fraud and I would need all you guys at xbhp's help to sue yamaha.....
            dude the red frame r1 is a really bad color ,its actually maroon pinkish,
            the bike has arrived in the showroom so i will be going there to have a look ,the showroom guys are really dumbos ,they know s**t about bikes.
            the 2009 r1 new is selling for 10000 USD in the states now,which is abt 4.6 lakhs ,lol
            anyways i will update you all once i have a look on which year it is .

              The way Fireblah handles the Blade is simply amazing. Be it in evening time Kolkata traffic or offroading or butter smooth GQ. He is one of the most sensible riders I have ever ridden with.

                  No point arguing with yammy, this is india, yammy has done this before everyone who had knowledge about r1s models knew they were selling old stock, getting a 2009 model right now is good, imagine the people who bought the 07model last year. they were buying technically a 2year old bike the deal u getting is good, change the color scheme if u can cause u are abit bummed now. R1 2009/2010 is an awesome machine but personally i prefer the earlier models in the looks department, thats my 2 cents..

                        I'll beg to differ here...
                        They are exactly not the same, and like the fireblah mentioned, the heating issues are also taken care of in 2010 model, and the fairing is diff too(just the graphics though)...

                            What else is different then? And where did you read about the 'heating issues taken care of' info (if there were any in the first place?

                              I think Anirudh was right...
                              Atleast the blue one as shown on auto expo matches the 2010 colour.
                              Golden rims again ?
                              2010 as in UK website :

                                ^ if u have a look at r1forum.com,u will see that 09 r1 had some engine issue with the cams and many of them have got it replaced from yamaha
