Hi,
The 09 yamaha R1 is out and i can't stop thinking how the headlights on it look just like the firebolts...

Holy crap! Great find, I think your right. What a copy.

The Yamaha is what the 1125r should actually look like. Just my opinion... the front fairing anyway

LOL, maybe not quite like the yamaha, but definately more well proportioned than it is right now.

Well if they had to change it from the firebolt front, something like that might have been good.

The front fairing is fine for me, I just hate those scoops, maybe if they built the bike up alittle more to even out the proportions it wouldn't look so bad.

those lights are highly reflective you can light a cigarete with them i know ive done it!they had some problems with the plastic melting when they first came out but fixed the problem.

Hehe, funny that you noticed that also. That was my first thought when i saw it - a firebolt look a like.
The rest of the bike looked too boring imo [R1]
