This thing kicks ass.

 

[Giannis]

looks like the k1200R

Agreed, nice looking; gotta see the pipe up close though; it may just be the different colors that makes it look odd. I don't suppose it's a dual exhaust, one on each side?

 

[Bagadonitz]

Is it just me or does the front look raked out a bit too much?

 

[Rocket51]

I was thinking the same thing about the rake. Still, It a current generation R1 motor, and they didn't skimp on the frame. Sweet.

Anyone have any shots of the other side? I'd like to see if this thing does have an exhaust on both sides. But, what's up with the tag mounts on the back of most of the new bikes that are coming out. Too me, they just look like they hang way out to much on the rear, just my 2cents.

 

[Rickster]

The exhaust looks like the new GSXR1K.....not too sure about that.

 

[AZ Scott]

I think the "raked out" look is because of the wide angle of the photo. I imagine the steering geometry is pretty typical of most sport bikes.

I guess we're now making the transition from under-tail exhausts to short, stubby exhausts...

Nice to see the R1-style frame. This should be a pretty fun bike to ride!

The word that comes to my mind is ....FUGLY...

 

[Chuckles]

I like it a LOT!

 

[Dave]

I think we get to see all the official pics from Yamaha tomorrow, right?

 

[Scarbelly]

Looks nice. Any word on whether it's fuel injected or carb'd?

 

[Dave]
