Pretty much everything on this machine is carbon fibre.... it's ridiculously impressive.....

Brembo P4's on there... lightweight wheels... a few engine mods, Ohlins road and tracks... etc etc.... long long list.....

thread here with lots more info.

I just think it's too carbon.

The seat unit looks naff.

The Akrapovic pipe is horrible.

Gold levers??!?!?!

It needs some decals to break it up a bit.

I understand why someone would do this, but I don't think it's been done very well.

Just my personal thoughts, and I race a green/white/red/black Monster with a R6 seat

Take no notice of me

Sorry,i don't like it either!!I love R1's.It looks better in the original black/graphite colour scheme.

weeksy2 · 13-Jul-2006, 14:15

Levers i must agree with...can't see why he wouldn't have a nice black Brembo radial on there....

pipes are pretty much of a muchness on IL4's of this age and genre... unless you go underseat, that's about as good/bad as it gets..

Decals... nah... not IMO

Have to agree, too much carbon on display is a baaaad thing. I thought the same when I first saw some all-carbon 916s back in the day. Nothing looks cooler than well-painted carbon with just a little of it showing through (996r).
