meh not digging it myself. looks more difficult to read than honda and kawi. seriously, kawishould get awards for how awesome the zeds cluster is. and does it REALLY need to remind me what bike im on 24/7?

IMO .....R1s use to be the benchmark of a sexy sportbike....

WTF happened to the 2009 R1....it looks like the offsrping of a Firebolt & R1....

Did the same clown who designed the new CBR 1000 also design the '09 R1? this has got to be just as fugly as the CBR 1k....maybe even fuglier.

I was looking forward to getting a new R1...looks like I'll be waiting for the next revamp.

I thought the new cbr1 was gross until I saw it in person. Pics definitely dont do it justice so Im hoping the R1 is the same way. Now the zx10 is just hideous all the time.

My thoughts exactly. I was in Korea while the 1000RR dropped and immediately judged tham as ugly as fuck. Saw one in person and another and another and I really like the looks now. I'm holding my judgment on the R1 til i see it in person.

idk, the rr is ugly in pics, and ugly in person. the r1 looks badass, cept for the pipe. looks like the pipe came off a b-king lol

I dont think theres a stock pipe I like anymore. The only one that I can think of is the stock black one that came on the 06-07 gsxr 600 and 750.
