    Been thinking of possibly getting a new S1000RR, however a few weeks ago this beauty caught my eye. The first UK bike should be arriving this week, waiting for the dealer to call me to have a look at her before she gets stripped to be used as a race bike.

    212bhp, 175 kg

    What do you guys think?

    near £30k I reckon? a bit to expensive to ride on the crap uk roads that is for sure :( and to expensive to take on the track for fear of dumping it? but those bikes do make a great Posters for your wall ;)
    seeing that the R1 Yam is half that price, I would get the R1, but then my head has always ruled my heart :eek:

    R1 for the road/track, MV for wall poster, sorted :D £15k left over for beer, sex and rock and roll, or 100 track days :D

    Looks very nice rich! Would still be a bit worried about Italian reliability and spares back up.

    R1 looks tempting to me

    Steve, yes I was extremely surprised that the Yamaha R1 won last weeks group superbike test in MCN. Will have to pop across to Infinity in North Camp for a test ride.

    I found the S1000RR very bland to ride and cheap looking and that was the 2015 model!!!

    Get the Italian super model if you can afford it.

    I just dribbled down my front, beautiful. I love the F4 and keep asking when the Daimler connection will mean I get a staff discount.
