That thing sounds sick...like it only has two cylinders. Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just put a twin in there? Grin

It's a very interesting piece of kit and I actually really like it. If I were in the market for a sport bike, I'd certainly consider the new R1.







......Rossi's M1 still sounds better though Grin

Seriously, I have no interest in 1000s, but that makes my pants go crazy.

Would your pants go into orbit if they made an R6 with a 90-degree crank?

I'd bet money that the '10 R6 will be just that.

I'm with Daryl, it makes my pants feel funny.

What is the torque curve like with the big bang cycle?
More down low grunt or is it just a twin sound?

Regardless, it's bad ass!!

Torque curve shouldn't be much different from a conventional crank setup, other than it may not be possible to get the exhaust header to work quite as well.

they say it gives the engine a lot more mid-range while still keeping the I-4 top end.

i dunno.  but that's what they say.

Is that the riders saying that, or the dyno guys?

'Cause that's kind of a free lunch deal...

i'm not entirely sure it really affects the power/torque in the way you'd think, more the delivery/power pulses.

it sounds like somebody jetted it really fat in the middle.  Grin

here's the original article about this technology in last years' m1:

That's a very interesting article, thanks, Derb.

Gonna have to think about that for a while.
