out of all those, the MT1 is as dogs balls as ever, the R1 looks the goods, the FJR, i havent a clue. the R6, an accquired taste and yesh, aftermarket cans are going to be popular. as for the others. I really havent a bloody clue why they are putting such massive cannons/dustbins on there, fz1, anyone?

meh, either way it doesn't look like it'd do a lot for me. But it'd be a fun bike if i was into that style though

Guess the lowing of the exhaust brings the weight lower. Therefore the lower the mass, (the offending item) leads to greater flickability through the corners.......or they have been smoking to much weed in those little design rooms where they test exhausts, lots of smoke and fumes in there.

Yamaha owns Ohlins.
From the Ohlins website.
http://www.ohlins.com/company_ohlins.shtmlSince 1987, Öhlins Racing has been majority-owned by the Yamaha Motor Company, though it continues to operate as a dynamic, independent company within the business group.

The new R6 looks incredibly good. Love the angular lines. But that can is feckin stupid.
The R1 is perfect. They got it spot on right, particularly the underseat zorsts.
