Yea i can understand that. For being so hyped, and the stock being down on power. But shit, it won a WSBK championship in its first year (who knows how much the rider had to play in that though), and it won an AMA championship in its second year.

Didnt know that. Nothing that a race ecu cant fix right?

The thing that pisses me off about the new R1 is the price tag. Jesus H Christ. Almost 13.5 before T/T/T, and 14.5 with the special edition. That opens a whole new ballpark of bikes.

Race ecu has no provision for a speedo, euro didn't have it but to swap to that you need a matched set of ecu, wiring harness, ign switch, and key.
