Saw the new R1 today and I have to say at first glace, a few things stood out...
1. Hated the partial plastics on the side, should have went full.
2. Loved the dual exhaust under the tail. (looked sharp)
3. Swing arm looked more setup like a MOTO GP bike. (looked sharp)
4. Seat was not flat, but appeared more ergonomically correct. (looked sharp)
5. Headlights are sweet on the late model R series...
6. Rear tire was visibly exposed more then usual; it wasn't covered or overwelmed by the license plate kit.
7. Price: $10699 without dealing...
I have to say... by appearance the bike looked really good and was a large improvement from last year's bike in the appearance category. I know we have just read a horror story on the new R1 so I am not bosting anything here but appearance, before you get started...
