First pics: 07 Yamaha R1

The first pictures of the 2007 Yamaha R1 have been released and they show an all new bike based heavily on the 2006 R6 design.

Click the imags on the right to see the full size version.

The pictures have been released showing US colours of red, black and blue, but the red version will not be available in the UK.

Instead we’ll get the same Racing White paint scheme seen on this year’s R6.

We’ll bring you more details as they emerge and you can read the full report on the new bike in the October 4 edition of MCN.
