    Yeah r1 is creative but can't imagine it being good? Why would you want the front to have power too? Can imagine cornering would be scary when you don't want the front to go?

    They dont need them, there just more effiecient/powerfull with them, old strokers never had them.... when space becomes a problem and you have 2 litres of 2-stoke V-4 I daresay there not at the top of the list lol.

    Millyard Viper V10 ..what a waste.
    Whats that burning smell, someone having a BBQ?...oh its my knees on the headers. WTF
    If it ever fell over or you needed to turn it around in a tight space..epic fail

    as for the 2WD R1. I read a test on it ages ago. They say the front is pulled in the direction of travel by the drive system and it copes better in corners than a traditional rear wheel drive. It was actually faster around a track than its counterpart and gave excellent feedback and stability in corners. the original item was produced in prototype form by Ohlins :thumbsup:

    the whole point of counter steering is a bout being able to turn in quicker, and id think it would make it worst,

    but saying that there is a big debate about weaver counter steering is effective any way

    no real changes,

    looks like practically every manufacture has opted out of the 2 year models cycle this year
    but at least you can tell the 750 and 600 apart from a distance finally

    I like the hypermotard, in different colours that'll look pretty good.
