    The one I've posted is the exact same as the current R1 besides the nose and exhaust....

    Looks great, looks genuine to me... Artist impression? Not sure about the front light area but had to tell from that angle

    To be fair both look pretty good! Time for Mr Honda to pull his finger out and make the blade cutting edge again

    I had the R1 serviced on Saturday and while there asked about trade in prices against brand new GSXR / ZX10

    Bike is less than 2 years old so under Yam warranty with 5k on clock and came in at £6,500

    To be fair a brand new GSXR1000 is £9k, new R1 was £10k and zx10 (2013 colours) was £10.5 so perhaps not a surprise, but kick in the teeth if you did not get a good deal like I did

    Makes cost to change to a new one very expensive! The engine bolts etc. certainly look identical to my R1

    The MT-09 at £7k looks an absolute bargain - would like a shot on one, the matt black looked awesome

    I think all the jap factories could still be playing catch up to BMW if they put the electronic suspension mods on the standard S1000

    You've been bummed Matt. That's not the new r1 I'm afraid :)
