I'd have one if I was not in debt already, sounds awesome and apparently great to ride

had a tinker with it today, awesome machine!

running in is up to 7,000rpm which is still over 100mph! the thing really does sound like a "V" twin, weird sounding machine but truly a piece of art.

beautiful lookin machine, but those headlights look somewhat gawky and weird!

cant wait to hear one in the flesh but cant say its worth the price tag

jus my humble opinion

If I was buying one, its'd be in that black colour scheme looks gorgeous.

black and gold does look good TBH when i first saw the red/white one i think it looked like a pig lol, amazing how a colour can transform a bike.

Lovely! I'd have to get black wheels, black forks, and replace the stickers with black ones though

love all-black!

Saw one last night through my local Yam dealers window and that black makes it look stunning!

Ooh yes! That is fookarn gorgeous. Didn't like the look of it before, but in black it works.

Was reading about the new big bang R1 recently - I've always had a soft spot for them (even though I prefer twins)... The big bang engine seems to have gone some way to solving that - at least with the sound

, and in black it's beutiful... Now if only I could raise the cash... <dreams>
