[QUOTE="Toecutter, post: 486779, member: 74"] until I talked to the local service manger today, who was at the Vegas trade show this weekend, and even got a picture taken with V. Rossi. He said the new R1 [B]sounds more like a Ducati than a Yamaha[/B], because of its revolutionary crank design, Crossplane. The torque bursts supposedly hit differently on the crank, enabling the rear tire to recover and reshape evenly through the turn, theoretically allowing more power to be smoothly applied to the ground, or some such techie stuff.... 1400 c.c. Gen III Crossplane FJR anyone? (if'n we can't get the V-Max motor) From [URL="https://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelfeatures/6/0/features.aspx"]the website[/URL]: [/QUOTE]
