It's getting ignored because in most people's eyes it's the ugly duckling and they have made up their mind to buy the R1 based on the pictures. I would rather not have everyone buying one of these, let's keep it our secret eh?
Well...I hate to say this...but I have an admission.
I dont have either, but I am buying one those two this Saturday. I have downs on both, but have plans to go the Yamaha dealer first. Now the up side is that particular dealer is also a Honda dealer. So we'll see what happens.
Its a 60/40 tear right now.
One is my logical side, the other is the emotional side. I would love to ride both to see which one gels the most in the first 10 minutes, but that'll never happen.
I have been buying new bikes for almost 20 years, this is the first year I have really had a hard time with it. That's just how good they all are.
Sometimes I just wish I was brand loyal to make it easier.
