Here are some pictures of the soon to be released Yamaha YZF-R1, a bike which will rewrite the definition of what an open class sportsbike is all about. With statistics like these:

177 kg dry weight ...
155 horsepower ...
1395mm wheelbase ...
5 valves per cylinder ...
6 speed gearbox ...
upside down forks ...

you know it's going to be an animal. Goodbye Fireblades, ZX-9Rs, GSXR-1100s ... you'll never keep up. I want one!
