R1/R6

The standard versions are expensive enough so this will prob put it out of reach.

Tweaked R's

I wonder if this is a hint that they will follow Triumph/Ducati/KTM/Aprillia  with a 'race spec' model when they launch the 2012 models at the end of next year?.......

Wavy Disks..

Never liked them on a bike, look rubbish anyway, although I'm sure they brake well enough. Not too sure on the colour scheme, looks a bit 'shell suit' like most Jap bikes..they need to get some more tasteful graphics, maybe employ someone from Italy or UK

A very European strategy

Ducati's been doing this forever.  If you want anything approaching the sort of kit they race you'll pay a fortune for the S version, the SP version, etc.  And to assure profitability, there will only be a limited number available.

It is true

 Expensive!!!? japanise factory obviosly mean how they products can't compare whit price of DUCATI or ..end they deside to put OHLINS(which is to expensive him self) end "now we got a products which we can sell  for shit load of  money", i really begin to think that very sad things become to happend allover the moto industry. They really dont know how to make new, good than again affordable bike. End do what is easier for them, make a deal whit OHLINS(end brembo)whic probably much more chiper for them, instead to make some really good himself development(which has bigger price for investment but smaller price when become in large production)on this way they has a score whit no sweat.
