2009 R1

[DesmoTip]

Anyone seen/heard what Yamaha have up their sleeve for this one? (And no, I don't mean fantasy-land MCN 'articles'). I'm torn between this and the new Blade for my first bike Stateside (something mildly practical)...

I'm wondering whether they will revamp the look at all, as it's not really had any drastic styling changes for a while now.

Nope, not seen it....and REALLY don't want to either.

Sorry.

Eh? Whysdatden? Worried you'll be back on R1fever again after moving to twins? (I'd go for the Duke personally, but I've got them in Europe and fancied something different).

Absolutely. Takes me a year to make a decision...can't handle another change of heart!

[DesmoTip]

Hahaha....you crack me up!

Seriously, go for the Duke with Termi's - can't beat the sound or feel of 'em. I think twins make much more sense as an every day ride in the UK...the only reason I'm going back to Jap is for a change over here.

When you looking at buying?

Yeah, well it's a chance eh? If I can't live with it I'll get the R1 or the Blade. Hopefully picking it up next tuesday evening.

Blimey mate have you already agreed the deal? You only just realised you wanted a 1098, I thought!

Nice...so keeping both? Wish I could do that, unfortunately the Mrs-to-be says the wedding in 2 weeks is more important!

Not for long....too scared to take the new one, so will sell the GSXR when I get back.

Any offers? One careful owner? Actually, might create an advert...see what people think!
