2010Yamaha YZF-R1Originally posted by Streetfighter View PostWhy? From what I know, there is no difference between the 2. If you insist on a 2010 you may have to wait another 3 months.
See the UK Honda site and check the 360 degree view of the r1. The swingarm is red.sigpic StreetFighter

Now I'm a lot less worriedOriginally posted by svjhonda View PostMate, you have'nt seen him ride... He's handled a 200 kilo 'Blade better than my 130 kilo R15, that too in severe off-roading terrain...
Rest assured. He's got the skills...

Dude see it properly. The 360 view is 2009 R1. It is clearly mentioned below. Just see bottom right corner.Originally posted by Streetfighter View Post
@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.Yamaha FZ16 - 2009 to 2011
Pulsar 220F Black - 2011.......

dude the red frame r1 is a really bad color ,its actually maroon pinkish,Originally posted by fireblah View PostThis thing is serious.... if the red frame R1 is nowhere in the 2010 year around the globe, so if thats the bike in India, then definitely its 2009.
This would be a case of fraud and I would need all you guys at xbhp's help to sue yamaha.....
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 .sigpic

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.A professional candid photographer - 17000+ followers. Be in touch

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 bikeOriginally posted by fireblah View Postthis is sad.... if its 2009, we wont accept it.....
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..

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)...Last edited by rennycornelius; 02-12-2010, 09:47 AM.The Magician"

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?Originally posted by rennycornelius View PostI'll beg to differ here...

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

May the torque be with you..
