With all the hate talk about the new RR, I'm curious: What DO you like about the RR? Here's what I like:
1. I like the taillight on the mudflap. If it ever becomes a track bike, I won't need some crappy second rate fender eliminator. Just take off the whole light assembly.
2. I like how thin it looks around the tank. Reminds me of a Ducati. No bike to date has been able to copy the thinness, except maybe the Triumph 675.
3. I like the stock HESD.
4. I like the magnesium engine casing, shorter, LIGHTER engine.
5. I like that it makes more power and the power:weight ratio is best in class.
6. And the more I look at it, the more I like the fairing design; it has more function and is probably better for the overall cooling of the engine bay.
7. Oh, and I like the ram air in the front of the nose. Kawi knew it from the very beginning that was the most effective way to feed air into the engine to make monster power. Yami picked it up with the R6. Honda knew it going in with the RC51. It's about FREAKING time we got it on the RR.
Here's what I'm anticipating:
1. A look at the new compact instrumentation.
2. Final specs on the bike.
3. A 600 shoot out that leaves the competition in the dust!
