i was talking about the overall look of the honda. The yamaha looks good, I just dont like the front headights. The previous models headlights looked better. but you cant get the whole package now a days.

Im still mad at Honda for not importing the best colors to the U.S. the brits are getting more choices and better graphics,well 2010 will be better.

How much power is enough? That's a question I always asked and furthermore end of the day, it's just a number which differs from dyno to dyno and how a tuner sets it. I would say the 2009 R1 is different, you have to put behind the usual inline four feel, ride it differently and grow with it.I'm saying this not because I own one and trying to justify it but seriously loving the bike everyday. I traded my 07' for it and have no regrets even if the numbers are low for horses....the feeling is different, how the engine thumps and revs up effortless just puts a smile on my face everytime i ride it.
We are all made different and have our own preferance to how a bike should feel so I'm happy to wait for 7 months without a bike, 09' R1 made it worth on every ride.
PS: Tech wise, Yamaha no longer use the EXUP valve on the 09'....only realise it during Akra full Ti installation.

I agree 100 percent with that one rama....i love mines as well. You appreciate her every ride. I have the excitement back in me from when I first started riding motorcycles. Just finding reasons to take her out for a spin. I would ride in zero degree weather as well. In fact I have logged almost 500 miles on her already within two weeks of owning her (damn its cold up here in New York).
