    Has to be the r1m... I didn't find the rsv to comfy. Reliability is always going to be an issue as build quality doesn't seem as great on the new rsv.. The 2016 won't need the recall but they are changing all,the titanuim conrod bolts and other engine internals in the yam to stainless .. Sounds like a cost cut to make a bit back on what they have lost on the. 2015 bike..they are phenonimoal

    I was gonna sell mine with a little girl in the way but think I may be able to keep it :oops:

    Anyone know of a dealer who has a demo R1 or even a second hand 2015 bike which I could ride?

    Chris is getting his R1M next month, however by then it will be too late to decide if I want to go for a R1M.

    Apparantly they only imported 60 R1Ms into the UK last year, however they are possibly importing 200 this year. This may have a detrimental impact on the depreciation of the bike.

    Looks like I'm in a minority of precisely one, I appreciate the power and the tech but it looks a dogs dinner Imo at the side of a Panigale or the RSV

    RSV4, without any hesitation, there is something about that bike that does things to me that a bike just should not do :D

    Ive got a test ride booked at a dealer who has both the RSV4 RF and std 2015 R1.
    Going to ride both bikes back to back, weather is cold and shit so wont be able to push the bikes too hard, however should enable me to decide which one I prefer.

    Happy days!!!
