    Yamaha 2015 R1

    http://www.cycleonline.com.au/2014/1...yamaha-yzf-r1/

    Lights could be integrated and styled better for the road and a lot of lines seem to copy the Ducati's Panigale.. Maybe its how all the bikes are being styled now???

    Well race fairing trim wouldn't matter though!! got lots of fancy bits and pieces of electronics in it.

    would I buy one... probably yes for track use.. not warranted for road use IMO

    and Launch control at 10,000rpms on a big bike!!!

    Good to see a Jap manufacturer having a red hot go at technology on a production bike. It's been a while between drinks.

    Its just a production version of the superstock bike though :( I was hoping for more WILD!

    The new bits are the titanium exhaust valves and the oval valve springs - that will be good for more RPM, which it will need because of the revised cam lift

    I think you are forgetting the word "Supercharged"...Its not how much Hp you have its how fast you get there.

    My question is "Are the new Kawa's permited to race is Aussie racing?".....I'm betting wetty will have one soon!.

    Every race regulation I've seen says no forced induction. Besides, that piece doesn't go around corners - it weights 240kg.

    Nope. Not for the forseeable future. I spoke to wetty a while back about it, and it's just not gonna happen.

    I, for one, am eternally grateful to Yamaha that it looks nothing like the old R1. Fark me! I wouldn't have been seen dead riding one of those ugly mofos.
