Yamaha YZF-R1 (2012-current)

Not much has changed with the 2012 R1, but the big news is it now has a six-stage traction control system, incorporating anti-wheelie in its two most intrusive levels. It also has a restyled nose, a slotted YZR-M1-style top yoke and a longer, softer rear shock. The changes aren’t enough to compete with the new-generation of hardcore superbikes, like the...

I find no other jap bike (and perhaps not even ita one) sounds soooo goood as this one does. And if I want to buy it for street/road, then pacman53's comment would totally sell it to me.   'comfy'. I know it may sound redicilous, but .. here in shops Speed Tripple R and R1 are same price, and even though Speed tripple comes with Ohlins and brembo, for the price I would choose the R1 (2012). And i think R1 looks better too

CBRJGWRR, just to let you know that here in Canada, a new 2012 R1 would cost $12400 + taxes and a Ducati Panigale 1199 base model would cost at least $20000 + taxes and you would have to add $1000 for ABS.
A Ducati Panigale 1199 S would cost $24000 + taxes and the R model would be $31000 + taxes.
Minimum $7600 + taxes more to get a Ducati 1199 Panigale base model!!!!.
