Order Today

Post by Blade »

Applications for the YZF-R1M opens today. Get your order in now. No mention of price so a blank cheque book might be handy. I reckon £20,000

You can even make it your own with official Yamaha can buckle tie downs.

Its grown on me too but it did look a bit fuzzy and over complicated in certain areas when I saw it yesterday.

No prices available yet as speaking to them yesterday their waiting on BMW pricing the new s1000rr and vice versa.

I'd still buy the Panigale first but its not a new design, just an update, albeit a fairly substantial one.

The Yamaha, from my own point of view, is the first exciting bike to come out of Japan in years. I need to blag a test ride next year.

Not badly priced for the specification and compared to the competion IMO.

I bet a pound to a penny the top spec BMW will undercut it though as BMW have held back on pricing the S thou on purpose to be more competively priced than the big Yam which they see as there main competition.
