I'm definately eyeing one up for next year!

For me it's just the best looking bike ever.

my god! I think I'm in love... But I'm confused by a couple of things!

How the hell have they fitted a V4 1litre engine in there...
Where is the can? If it's under the seat see question 1 even more.

I think I'll wait until I see the real bike before I comment. That picture is only a computer mock up.

The 1098 is far better looking.

I really like it, although it does look a bit like the designer created it with a ruler.

Knew you'd reply eventually! hehe

Think I've found my next bike. Finally you have your wish: you will be the only one on the 1098! (That is, of course, unless CoronaB. gets one as well! - Although I don't think he will be swayed!)

Woot first hurdle sorted, now where do i get 14k from Rolling Eyes

1098 ftfw sorry to cut it to you.

Very nice looking bike, then again, is the price tag as good looking?

Also, its very pointy, and the middle fairingl ooks a bit gay, although id have to see it in person first.

Looks mean. Twisted Evil

That's waaaaaay too shit. If the current RSV, CBR, R6 and GSXR1000 models had a promisuous drunken orgy, that bike would emerge.

A V4 thou would be interesting, though Thinking

It looks hideous.

Also the "watermark" on the photo has to be one of the poorest ever.

I feel the same about the new R6! Although obviously they don't so this means it's just effectively a weight-saving measure and a way of keeping the wieight towards the front.

More agressive that way! Thumbs Up Twisted Evil

It's clearly a photoshop.

There will be variations/tweaks when the model is out in the shops.

I odnt like the swingarm conjoined withthe hugger, but cant comment until I see it in person.
