Only time will tell...

 

190-195hp, 365lbs for the 06 model.

 

Im sure some trick stuff will filter down from the GP wars........I know the new one is sweet but how can they make it better....Technology is amazing.

 

LOL, thats what the said in 1998, and even the early 90's they said that. Bikes will continue to get lighter, more hp, and ultimately more refined.

 

no wheels, it will hover!

Maybe at the crank, but not at the rear wheel. :fact If so, we all
better know how to handle kind of power cause it will be a
handful.

 

I want it to be specD out like the RC211V. yes plz.

Yeah at the crank, they are quoting 180 now so 5-10 more hp is pretty realistic in 2 years.

 

prolly be up to $13,499 as well

 

In 2010, I'll probably just buy a 600, since it will make 140 horses at 20k rpm, will only be 5 feet long, and only weigh 200#.

A comparable R1 would be like having 10 young hotties in bed at the same time. Sometimes a guy just can't run wide open for that long without having a stroke.

Yes that's it. Yamaha will start using Honda technology on there bikes.

MotoGP M1 will filter down to Honda's CBR1000RR and the RC211V will filter down to Yamaha's R1. Makes perfect sense.

 

i will hopefully be able to buy a r1 bye then

 

Thanks guys its just interesting how far bikes have come......My first street bike was a kawi 900 ninja. It was awsome to me back then. Now the bikes just handle so much better and are so much lighter with soo much more power. Scary to think of 190 to 195 hp at the crank or rear wheel for that matter but we are almost there as far as being able to go to the dealer and buy one right out of the box with that kind of power. I think in essence it really does get to the point where its over kill......To many cars so little room........

 

I don't care about total horsepower, I just want them to fix the heat issue. I don't want a refinded ball-cooker; they have to fix that in the 05 or the 06. Don't get me wrong, I won't get rid of my '04, but since we're talking future features...a man can ask.

 

Good point and im sure you arent the only one that has complained about the heat issue so as far as that goes there is room for improvement. I think over all yamaha has the knowledge when it comes to building the perfect bike. The are top knotch as far as quality. Im definitely staying with them for the future. Its the little things that set them apart from the others. Out right performance.........who really cares........Its how its deliverd that matters and what your senses tell you in route to your final destination......Damn this thing feels good

 

Exactly. I had a Gixxer 600 (a '99) and it was outstanding, but I have never ever ridden or even seen anything like The One. Ducati makes a pretty bike but I think that Yamaha offers the best mix of performace, purty (I know, not a real word), and price.

 

I have an '02 but I'm waiting until Yamaha starts producing the R1's frame using the CDF technique like the FZR's.

hope that the heat sink will be improvised...
Maybe a carbon fibre pipe will keep a bit of the temp slightly lower? correct me if i am wrong...

 

maybe they should put some heat shields at the inner thigh area.
