2015 R1 launch 03/11

What bhp did they say the M had???

 

Will look better when it's finished and they get rid of the BMW GS spotlights off it.
Had high hopes for the looks of this bike.
Obviously performance will likely be high, but it's a no for me.

 

Well I could grow to love it, but I'll have to wait for an apple app to come out

I'm really not sure about those little lights, but then again I used to think Showaddywaddy were fashionable so what do I know.

 

R1-m



now come Honda, where is the 200bhp fireblade

 

Bet it'll look bad ass in black / Matt grey....

 

I'm gonna remain brand loyal but Honda have got work to do (Probably already done).

 

No doubt, most things do.
But it will likely hide the unfinished bits too.

 

Is there anyway of watching this again, i fucking missed the r1m bit

 

watch out for Andy Reid next year on the millwauke stocker.. Not my cup of tea but the power I've heard about in the Dyno will be hard to compete with providing they have z chassis to match

 

Rear Tail unit looks like the 2008-2010 ZX10R!

 

Honda got some catching up to do love all the trick bits on the (M R1 ) be nice to see it in track trim .

 

It looks shite.. Not for me and what are them taky led lights all about?

 

Did anyone else think Rossi was getting a bit agitated and hot in his leathers?

 

Very disappointed seems like a jumble of ideas .The front board looks like a Suzuki headlight ,the small headlights are rather sad ,The rear end is the same as most out there .One thing I would say is that seems a massive old lump of an engine .As for 200 bhp great for bragging rights or the track but for the road ?

 

Looks finished to me..... Honestly think it's lovely.

All depends on the price now but IMO think they will sell shed loads, impressive spec too

 

Should be some cracking deals on the older r1.

 

Power wise it stated 200 PS which is what the Beemer states.


This in reality is no more than 185ish BHP that the current Beemer or ZX10R produces at the wheel.


A 200 genuine RWHP figure it will not be.

 

Need to see it in the flesh , but first impressions are it looks good. Plenty of toys and a colour dash. N.E.C awaits

 

199 fully wet.... That's a fair bit less than the BMW i think? Dunno about the zx10?

As for power, think bm and zx get more than 185 don't they?

 

Mcn reckons base model between 16 & 17 grand!!!!!!!
That can't be right surely, they just going to price them self out of the market!
