None of the 2009 Japanese litre bikes look good in my opinion.

The 2005 ZX-10R with twin Akros. Mmmmmmmm.

I dont like any of the new bikes atm, but for the GSXR's and the Blade.

I like the new R1... Looks arn't that bad and the bike sounds soooo much better than a screamer. Sounds like a V4. FTW imo.

Here is the mighty sound


If they make the R6 have the same firing order I might be tempted

I think the R1 will grow on me more with some aftermarket cans on. The hi/low beam is controlled by eye lids covering the beam. I prefer the naked buell to the faired, it's just oversized, wouldn't fancy filtering on it.

Yup the Buell is one ugly thing - they do a naked one which is still bizarre but slightly better(!) looking...

I was thinking that about the Vectra VXR this morning - see loads of Astras but no Vectras...

A mate at work is getting very tempted by the new R1. I saw it at the NEC. The front is quite nice close up but I would need to see it with some akra's on!
