Never had one but I have ridden one and did not like it suspension was rock hard - great for a track but not on our roads, I felt that the bike was trying to bounce me off

my human rights have been violated Yamaha ,it's time to stop making me feel old and give me an R1 upright and while you're at it bring back 2 strokes.

Yamaha are doing the MT 10 in an SP version why not do that with the full beans R1 engine ?? It looks like Triumph are getting the idea with the new 765 striple 3 versions of the same bike with 3 states of engine tune with the full fat version RS putting out 128bhp and ohlins suspension and brembo brakes, it's not cheap at 12.5K.
However I'm impressed at yours and prefer it to the RS looks wise
Makes you wonder how large the "sports" bike sector is nowadays.
