| Yamaha R1 SP
Read about the Yamaha R1 SP in MCN today. Apparently, apart from the black and gold paint job it's pretty much a standard R1 with uprated suspension and wheels.
A lot is made of the facts that Dukes are expensive, so it struck me if you treat a factory built Japanese bike to Ohlins all round, radial brakes and Marchesini wheels, just like the 999S has, the R1 suddenly costs £13-14000...just like the 999S does.
Funny that! |
