    I think it's a lot of money for the bike but I still want to ride one.

    only the same price as an SP but with 200bhp and all the electronic gadgets one would need ;) I do love the SP too though ;)
    wouldn't want a BMW, so the yam would be my choice, but hey, I would ride one first before buying? would love to get one on track and see how it performs :D i wonder if they would let me have a "track day test ride" lol ;)

    anyway you never know, if it don't sell they might drop the price ;)

    looking forward to reading some reviews over the winter

    18.5K far too much for me. Also the metal box bits at the bottom near covering up...plastic cover or something. It will look horrendous when it rust .
    I am sure Akrapovic will come up with a solution; another 2 grand on top however.

    Yeah r1m price isn't too bad.. When you think R panagale is 26k or whatever it is and H2 is 25k.

    New S1000rr price isnt announced yet. I think it will be near 15k.. I bet all the new 2015 bikes wil have the priced hiked by a grand or two.. Rubbish

    I was devastated to see the new R1 I wanted to hate it so much but I actually was very impressed in the flesh. The worst part about it is the heat shields and the collector but who dosent fit full systems anyway.

    After going to the show and seeing the new bikes I couldn't help but feel sorry for Honda everyone else seem to have moved on but about 5 years compared to the blade :(.

    The only thing we have left is the cheap price tag :rolleyes:
