That's what I'm fearing. It'll be hard to get past the front end. Not that I plan on buying a R1 ever, but Yamaha usually puts out a solid looking bike.

Unfortunately they must of hired some kawasaki designers, because the new R1 is hideous. It use to be the best looking 1000 too. I think the gixxer may be the best looking now and that's really sad.

the front actually looks decent in track clothes from the pic I saw of Spies' 09 WSBK bike...

I just saw the 09 CBR600RR in the Green. Actually really sharp looking. If I were looking for a new 600, that would be it.

Get a grip, I already knew they were for the side radiators. The only reason I called them "air intakes" was because I couldn't think of another name.

the ztl brake looks sweet, but id like to see a dif style wheel attached to it, and one on each side. the all cf 1125r, and the tracked out one were tolerable to look at-barely-but the firebolt still owns all in buell's stable history to date.

the cr reminds me of a transformer-the light is the head, the pods are the shoulders...
