To begin with i thought it looked a heavy mofo.
If it is indeed basically an R1 naked then i accept that i am wrong on the above.
For uk riding only i really dont get the whole small tank issue considering most folk probably stop to eat & crow & share photos & text the missus every 50 miles......i bet some owners dont even manage the 50 miles.......but i accept that more is better.....only if the fuel sacrifice can be proven worthwhile in regards to other positive aspects of the bike.
Who could afford an R1 yet not want an R1......old farts basically.....old farts with more money than sense.
So basically this bike is for old, loaded, posing farts with more money than ability.
The MT07 range is the closest thing to the old fazer by far...not technically but in spirit, cheap, affordable, capable and realistic for the average bloke........own it new and cherish it and go fast on it..............ok anyone can spend a couple of grand on a 15 year old sportsbike....but the fazer brought new bikes to the population.
These new bikes are cool but they are missing the point a bit i reckon.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
