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.
But I'm sure it'll sell even though it fugglier than the MT so come on Yamaha get the idea and do the same with the MT 10, I might be advancing in years and my bones as strong and as porous as Andrex bog roll but there is still a young man in there somewhere begging to be unleashed next time an R1/GSXR/ZX/etc pulls alongside me who would love to show the cocky sod riding it ( not all R1 owners are BTW just the odd few ) that just because I'm riding a Fazer/MT/ whatever that I'm not past it and had to settle for second best, trouble is as it stands to my knowledge there isn't a standard bike that will do that
