Re: New R1 for 2016
Its got the standard suspension so shouldn't be much more than a standard bike.
The only downside I have read is the brakes aren't great. Should have stuck some Brembos on them.

I had the 250, always wanted one of these

They will more than likely stick a grand premium on it for the paint, akrapovic and a limited edition plaque.duke63 wrote:Its got the standard suspension so shouldn't be much more than a standard bike.

Stick a set of Brembo mono blocks of eBay, race shock and some rearsets and you have a proper weapon grades superbike

It's a nostalgia thing for me, had the RZ250 for about 4 yrs and would always lust over the RZ500 when I saw one, bit tamer than the RG500's but I always thought they looked better.. it's all pipe dreams and wishful thinking anyways..

Rothmans were the best race colours ever IMHO.

Re: New R1 for 2016
Spoke with a dealer today. The 60th Anniversary speed block yellow R1 will be available in December this year.
No official price released as of yet but the dealer I was speaking with sold his first one today for £15795 as a provisional price to be confirmed.
A little more info in this link he sent me.

Re: New R1 for 2016
2016 R1M will keep the same Sh1t silver, blue, carbon colour scheme as 2015 unfortunately.
I m surprised TBH as I told the Yamaha Sales Manager at Silverstone Motogp it looked cr@p and the base model looked 10 times better and he said"Everyone says that" Seems Yamaha arent listening to their customers.
In 2016 Yamaha will have their Corporate Blue / Silver and 60th Anniversary Speed Block Yellow colours available on the base model bike only, both of which look 10 times more special bikes than the higher spec R1M ironically
Have to say I m also very surprised they are not making use of the Rossi appeal (whilst he is still racing) by doing a replica.
Some more info on the 2016 R1M. Sounds like you get a free race school with Colin Edwards
