I think the US versions look MUCH better than the Euro schemes.

Still waiting for official horsepower and weight, though.

Re: Fugly paint...

buy the black 1000RR, and buy a set of large silver/chrome Honda wings, and it should look like the 2004 600RR in black--pretty sharp.

at least they didn't make it as ugly as the Ducati 999

The 1000RR should be better than the Gixxer and as good as the Kawasaki. Who would have known that Yamaha was going to pull out all the stops.

They're all as fast and light as race bikes from only a couple years ago, but we're complaining that one bike's not quite as fast as the other!?!


Knowing that these bikes will be outdone next year and the year after, I'm just trying to imagine what the future will bring. 190hp next year? 200hp for '06? In a just a few years, we'll have MotoGP caliber bikes for the street--and complain that they're not fast enough.



And I'll be first in line to buy one.
