The new R1 looks....odd. Some parts shrunk in the wash, others stayed the same size (or so it looks).

But thats missing the point; for me, the R1 is one of the most interesting production machines of recent times with the un-even firing order of the new engine. I may see if I can get a test ride on a current r1, and then the new r1, just to see what the differance of the engine with a differing firing order would be. I look forward to watching its progress in racing aswell.
