Ten miles per hour....àaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa

8 was sleeping, 6 was at work, 4 was at home.

whatever mileage buddy its a great looking thing.

I believe Honda and Suzuki are going to unveil similarly styled bikes this year??

I'm sure they will as they are getting left well behind at the moment.

Think that goes for racing too..  The new R1 in BSB is already up there with much more development yet to come..

not to mention our own MC tearing up the endurance series..   

I'm really interested to see how quickly Michael Dunlop will peddle it round the island this coming week.



funny how all the quick bikes are red  !!!     (maybe one or two exceptions I suppose   46 and 99....)

I think the issue is one of reliability on the superbike .. and as much as its teddys out of pram behaviour wise I'd not want to throw myself around the TT with the risk of oil spewing from it at consistent high RPM use.  A TT bike aint no superbike  in terms of how its used/abused. 

Totally agree. The bike was designed as a short circuit racer primarily. Adapting it for road racing was always going to prove challenging. It's not the only bike to suffer when road racing.

It must be shit as on a pretty much stock chassis R1 Josh Brooke's got nowhere near the Snetterton lap record.

50 miles in C mode this morning and she's super smooth around town speeds.

Snatchy throttle my arse.....

Don't the 'snatchy' comments relate to A-mode?

Yes, to be fair it does but even A mode is not as bad as everyone is making out.

Wouldn't surprise me if the snatchiness wasn't an emissions thing rather than how Yamaha wanted it to work.

Fair do's.

I don't get how a company like Yamaha produce a bike that is anything but flawless...it's not as if it's a new venture...I have some issues with my BMW S1000r that quite simply shouldn't be there...it's just not good enough...I expect better from these brands.

Seems to me that over the past 10 years or so, buyers of new models are unpaid beta testers.
