I saw the new R1 yesterday at my local dealer so they're definitely shipping. They had a silver, and a blue one. Couldn't make up my mind as to one or the other looking better. I thought the silver could have stood a black body panel on the side to break up the silveryness of it all. I also thought the two tone fuel tank on the silver one made the plastic portion look a little cheap. These are nitpicks though as overall the bike looked pretty sharp. Very integrated exhaust and a nice tidy taillight assembly as well. Good use of textures and shapes in the metal work on the engine covers and a very nice swingarm. Styling is personal but I thought the bike looked considerably better in the flesh than in the photos I've seen. I think most people are going to like it.
