    I prefer it to the R1 I think, I don't normally like naked 'a either and I really like the look of that in the pics

    That looks ace, if it looks that good in a pic can't wait to see it in the flesh.

    Love the spec, undecided on the lights (eyes ?)
    Hopefully it's lighter and more nimble than my FZ-1 N was !

    That engine in a naked bike will be some combination - I don't think they have dropped the power down so should be a about 170 but its how it delivers it that will suit that bike.

    Fair play to Yamaha for developing the MT series, and I think I read its sub £10k - if that's true it should be a huge sales success and makes the 130bhp CB1000r look very flat and ordinary

    The more I look, the more I like, has to be the all black though.

    Why do bike manufacturers persist with fitting that hideous lump of plastic to the bikes rear, why not just fit a tail tidy to start with?

    Urghh those lights/flyscreen/indicators....I think it's a shame they didn't integrate the design better. Just looks like dodgy bolt ons. And it looks wide whereas the R1 is super narrow. Still, sounds like fun to ride though..

    Very nice indeed, the all black one with the small number of red touches would be my choice. I have a CB1000R and i agree that this looks a very nice alternative, Honda needs to update the CB soon.
