Nice pic, though you'd think Yamaha would post a photo of the right bike on their own site. Guess the R1 will be available with flames, too.

My old 4hp mini bike hauled a55!! That extra horse really made the difference up against my buddies 3hp, well till his dad shoehorned a 5hp in. Had about a millimeter between the sparkplug and the frame. Now that was a scary mini, short bonaza frame and a big ole 5hp...

That is one bad paint scheme. The black and silver one, though, looks plenty sweet. I'm travelling in Korea and saw two of them at a bike shop. I have NO IDEA how they get that stuff here so early, but I SWEAR that I saw that black and silver scheme on an R6 or an R1. It is beautiful.

Do you say this because you've had some bad experience with them, or just because Time Magazine or some such says they're a cult?

Note: I'm not a Scientologist, nor do I even know much about them. But, from the fact that you generalized your statement to include all "cultists", I wonder if you are just against any group that has been labeled a "cult" by the mainstream press.

I just bought one on Saturday, the thing is butter smooth. Props to Yamaha for nailing the fuel injection. It's so happy to dawdle along at 2,500, but it builds might fast (well, at least to 7,000, then I gotta shift because it has to be broken in).

Another thing to remember, this thing looks 100% better in person than in the pictures. It's a friggn sexy bike! I got the silver and black, I'd highly recommend it!
