Looks good lol. I just really dislike the sound parallel twins make. I wonder how much..

rossi and lorenzo like the dark side of japan
whatever that model starship is on top of the headlight and bars looks horibble.
I'm guessing there will be a faired version. Yamaha is pretty clear on the fact that in the US anyway, faired bikes tend to sell better. But the rest of the world seems to lean the other way. Narrow and naked seems to do well for maneuvering in tighter spaces like much of Europe and Asia.
Suspect that a faired version of this will eventually (maybe not this year) replace the 6R.
It'll be interesting to see what they do to fill the space of the FZ1, which is also due for a replacement. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an up-tuned version of the 900 triple.

If a twin is in order a Ducati is the only way I would go, sorry Yamaha.

and double the price
I love naked bikes. I love full fairing bikes. What I HATE are half fairing bikes. (Sorry to any FZ1 owners
I actually like the half-faired... Offers a little styling/wind protection without making an oil change or chain cleaning a PITA... Would love to see the 09 in a triple half-faired version... (because after demo'ing it, with its upright ergos, I'd add a windscreen anyway).
If the FZ1 came out in the new ergos/triple, and managed to bring mileage into the 42+ range, I think it would be a no-brainer ... for me...

Agreed. Italians seem to be the only ones who can get a twin or any V configuration right. Ducati or Aprilia. Either one for me.
Have you seen the new Monster? :surrender:
I will own a Ducati one day... just because they're too dam sexy!

I thought the naked bubble peaked 3-5 years ago already.
Good for city riding, not good for the wind blast.
Twins sound piss weak to my ears. Bup Bup Bup, rather than the zing/race engine sound of a 4. They'd need to put a turbo in there before I'd look at it. When it comes to engine sound I prefer a bit more form over function it seems, normally I always go for function.

I'm joking, I realise that dry clutches stop crap getting in the oil.

I have to agree with that analogy. Nothing like a nice 4 cylinder 4 stroke sound, but with a Ducati you are not going for the sound just the refinement of the bike.
I had my first ride on a BMW and though the twin stuff was crap (rode a Harley first), after the ride I decided that maybe I was wrong, fast and smooth, Ducati's are so cool because of the mechanical valves and the sound they make, nothing like it, smooth and powerful. Don't get me wrong nothing is like a 4 cylinder and is always my first choice, but a Ducati or BMW is fine with me too.
I like to call all twins and single cylinders "thumpers" thump, thump thump when idling.
