I like the comment from MCN on the graphic....

'How the '09 Yamaha R1 will look, supposing the firm has a modicum of sense and taste.'

Then again, when has MCN ever been right? National Enquirer is more accurate. :biggrin:

Not having anything to put sponsors' names on will be fun.  Bad idea with the bodywork.

But thats the "in thing", minimal bodywork. First it was "the tail sections are too big and ugly" now lets skimp on the side panels.

But if thats how its gonna look, better grab some motocross number plates to strap on it. :biggrin:

Try to remember that we're debating the finer points of a nicely illustrated piece of artistic rendition here...
MCN ain't the gospel people...

Really, don't all the japanese bikes look the same anyway?  If you were colorblind they'd be hard to tell apart.

I have seen another pic of the new R1 that Blows that one out the water. It is hella sexy!!!!!!! P.S. Im new here so dont know how to add pics but when I figure it out I will post the pic. I have a 2007 R1 with race body kit from HotBodiesRacing and many other race things. I will post a pic of it as well for those of you who want to know what the 07 looks like with a better body kit than stock.

Oh and if the new R1 looks like that other shit I seen the shit pics you guys have found I will Boycott R1 until they find their fucking brains. That horrendous piece of shit looks like an R6 on roids and I will never buy an R6 or an R1 that looks like it's little sister.

Isnt the 07 R1 almost identical to the R6?

What's up with the red seats?  Never did like that.  Other than that it looks pretty good.  Might take some getting used too.

Agreed!

The initial concept drawing of the 2010 R1 that I received a copy of is probably far from the final product that you'll see in the showroom........

Looks like the Honda CBR600RR.  How about a new design templet, someone.....


A classic "old school"
Title: Re: 2009 Yamaha R1 Picture...
Post by: PerryONeal on July 24, 2008, 08:44:33 AM
I dont know that is kinda far from an RR if you ask me. What do the rest of you think, do these bikes look the same?
Title: Re: 2009 Yamaha R1 Picture...
Post by: PerryONeal on July 24, 2008, 08:48:11 AM
Oh I did see this shity rendering but tottaly homebrew. I looks like something I'd like to seen done with the R6 but not an R1. Who ever made it is creative I'll give them that. If it was an R6 I'd get one for my girlfriend.

Without looking at the url guess what year this Suzuki concept bike was released......

Your definition of not even close is clearly differnt then mine.  Outside of people that know bikes extreamly well most people can't tell a Ninja 250 from a Hyabusa.  Or a zx-6r from a cbr-100rr, let alone a r6 from a r1.

I have to wait until 2010 to get me one of these

Well if you can't tell them apart maybe you shouldn't make stupid comments and learn a little more about bike. No afense Helmsman. Oh And for the rest Of you I found another pic but I have had this one for some time befor the 08's even came out. Tell me what you think. Oh and don't know what year about the Suzuki question but it looks fucking fast I'd ride it. And yes if Suzuki made a sexy enough bike I'd Buy one(gixxerlvr). This bike also kinda looks like a street version of the M1 KINDA.

Lol, wow.  I never said I couldn't tell the difference.  I just challenged you saying that they were "NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!", by pointing out that most people can't tell the difference.
