Doesn't look half bad.  I guess my expecation is so low that this is exceeding that.  Yes, that fender is awful and the headers/pipe isn't that great either.

I like it a lot, except for the front brakes.

I want a naked R1.  Not a "naked" sort of version.  I want the cross plane crank engine, R1 chassis/suspension, and an upright sitting position.  Yeah, I know duc SBK.  I also don't have 20K to spend on one (if I di, I'd buy the multi anyway).

so not the 2011 fz1?

That is supposed to be a great bike.  Will it sell well?  Hard to say...

Oh yeah... I actually heard the crossplane R1 last weekend and it resurrected my love for Yamahas. Make it more retro, no detuning, call it FZ-1 if you want and less than $12K. waytogo

Isn't the only way to get a true SBK feel from a naked would be to buy the SBK and take it's clothes off? Most or all the "naked" sport bikes on the market now are all detuned with bigger gears and smaller brakes.

^^^ Buy one and mod the shit out of it.  Wink

I have to choose between doing this, or getting something "light" like a 690. I suppose I won't get any sympathy for those kind of choices  laughingdp
