What an R1? :lol

[mr self destruct]

I can just imagine the design brief meeting:
"Right lads, MT10. Naked R1. Dave, you go and design me the exhaust and the instrument cluster. Jim, you do the headlight and the swing arm. Mack, you've got the seat and wheels. Steve, handle the mudguards and the air intakes. And by the way, all of you sit in separate rooms and don't EVER talk to each other."

An R1 is what everyone's mate has when they know nothing about bikes in a conversation.

"What bike you got then?"
"600, Fazer."
"Oh.......my mate's got an R1."
"Really.....!!"

This doesn't apply to Stevierst's mates, 'cos he really does have one.  :lol

[fazersharp]

That headlight and instrument panel area looks a bugger to clean the flies out of

[Dead Eye]

Having looked at a few more photos, I prefer the instrument cluster on the MT-03... I like dials

It definitely needs a fairing for me but the beemer its competing with is nekid.

[midden]

Would like to see a yellow and black speed block version and I would consider selling your left bollock to some unscrupulous Nigerians Slim.  :lol

Best give that idea a miss Daz. Even if the yellow version appears, by the time they'd completed the purchase of your left bollock there would have been another 10 newer versions out

Saw one of those Beemers in our local dealer, finished in brown  :eek  with a quilted brown leather seat.
Sounds awful but I really liked it. It looked like chocolate, and I wanted to lick it  :rollin

That'll have been an r nine t not the s1r 
This bike will be a tool. Yeah, it's chiselled looks won't be to everyone's taste but not all bikes are. It's meant to look aggressive & it does.
It'll be very fast, have great handling & have an electronic package to allow you to get the best out of it without hopefully killing yourself. So win, win, win.
Some of you could do with test riding some of the latest models because if you did some of the ill informed comments about handling & nanny state electronics may not be so prevalent.

[nickodemon]

It looks like it has cheap plastic all over it. Look at equivalant German / Italian bikes and they look ten times better.

[darrsi]

You know when you get these ultra clever photos when they zoom in on a fly or other small insects, that's what it reminds me of.

[Nebuchernezzer]

Based on the fact people would see me on it I'd rather ride the s1000.

[Covertlaugh]

If they give It a fazer style top fairing and a decent sized tank I would consider it. Standard tank is only 17ltr and we all know how backward a step that was on gen 1 to gen 2. I also have a big bang r1 and its a thirsty beast!

[BBROWN1664]

:agree

A Mk1 FZS1000 fairing would be a good addition. The 17lt tank wouldn't bother me too much as that should give about 150 miles between fill ups. If I was riding it every day though, a 20+lt tank would be better.

seeing as I have been messing with photoshop today, be rude not to have a crack at this...

[johnakay]

it'll be a nightmare to keep clean.

Now that looks cool. Just needs the number plate mount tidying up rather than sticking out like an after thought.
