Start with the current R1 and......
Throw handle bars on it ( fairing changed for clearance )
Slightly higher windscreen. for the upright riding position .
lower the pegs ( adjustable would be nice )
add just a little wheelbase and rake
Leave enough slack in the cables for different bar configurations
Run the exhaust on the side. Under seat looks cool......but it gets hot
use the new found space under the seat for some FRIGGING STORAGE.DO NOT NEUTER THE MOTOR !!!!! PLEASE !!!!!
a decent seat would be nice.
ABS is a must. An off switch for the track guys or the delusion people that think they wont benefit from it on the street
I WANT A FULL POWER SPORTBIKE WITH HIGHER BARS AND LOWER PEGS !!!!! APRILIA FINALLY DID IT WITH THE TUONO RSV4 ! PLEASE YAMAHA DO THE SAME .
I would love a crossplane motor as I would prefer more low and midrange performance.
It sounds awesome too.
FZ1 is on the side......yet still no storage. Also, I believe they put different cams in the Tuono and it's detuned 20-30 hp from the RSV4.
I really doubt Yamaha will produce an FZ1 (or anything else) that will compare too closely with the R1.
The Tuono has already dynoed over 150hp..........STOCK !
Too bad its Italian, and you could buy 2 leftover FZ1s for the same price.
I think the RSV4 is around 180-185ish though.
That's at the crank.
Your looking at about a 11hp difference at the wheel with a RSV4 compared to the RSV4 Tuono 165 vs 154
2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 R- Aprilia Superbike Motorcycles at EICMA 2010
At its heart is the RSV4’s 1000cc 65-degree V-Four, detuned via milder cams from a claimed 180 hp at 12,250 rpm and 85 ft.-lb. of torque at 10,000 to 162 hp at 11,000 rpm and 81 ft.-lb. at 9000
I'll make this simple for you. THOSE ARE CLAIMED NUMBERS AT THE CRANK FROM THE MANUFACTURE.
The RSV4 usally dynos 152-165 at the tire Check hundreds of charts online.
I've only found 2 charts for the RSV4 Tuono ( its a new bike ) 151 and 154.
Claimed numbers from the manufacturer are often nonsense.
