According to other websites that seem to have broken this news a few weeks back apparently there is gunna be two versions, a normal one and and special race edition that kicks out 230bhp, hope its not all just marketing hype as it sounds like yammy are being genuinely ambitious with this
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

It's good to see Yamaha join in the fight at the top of the sportsbikes. Honda haven't done much and Suzuki have been quiet. As the article mentions the R1 hasn't really changed for a feew years.

I wonder if we'll see more of an interest in the supersports?

Sweet about time keeping the cross plane crank is good as they sound awesome
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
