So, with Yamaha kicking butt in Moto-GP and WSB as well as AMA, why is it that domestic showroom sales of the new R1 has fallen on their face?
The mags here in the US have repeatedly mentioned lack of power and the center of gravity being high on the bike. Yet, in Europe the bike gets glowing reviews.
I am intrigued with the distinct nature of the bike and was wondering if anybody here is riding the bike and what modifications they did to suspension, etc...to make it work and handle better. I would also be comparing the bike to my current 07 GSXR 750 in terms of performance.
Anybody have any thoughts or opinions?
