2009 R1 and Diversion

[steve-d]

Some new pictures of the new R1, looks bloody wierd to me, especially the headlights.
Plus they've brought back the diversion
Personally I do actually quite like it but I really can't see it selling, who would buy one, would pick a Fazer or SV over it every time, which will both do the same job.

Agreed, new r1 looks crap compared to the older versions ! What is with its rear end, and horrible exhausts !! The 08 was soo muhc nicer !

And not sure on the divvy, can see it selling well though as a general commuting bike !

From that angle i quite like the R1,id have to see it all over to make a proper judgement tho.....headlights look a bit too hollow

Divvy looks quite spanking for what it is,you can still see the original design in there

More angle of it here.

ooo no dont like it now.

Purple frame,hollow-eyed headlights,dirtbike style exhaust shields,sticky-out nose,stumpy ass,ugly fairing.....



I DO like the wheels though!

The diversion looks like its going to be the new TDM. It has a similer design minus the strange headlight that the TDM always had.

I prefer the current R1, i think that looks luvverly. not too ken on that one.

Steve-D might buy the divvy...
