 This is what a japanese magazine thinks the 2009 R1 will look like. Now you see where MCN got their idea from

 The pic looks identical to me, must be from the same artist.

I'm going to stick this thread.

Hopefully we can keep all of the new rumours, opinions, hopes and dreams for any new 2009 R1 model in this single thread.

And it will be a useful tool when and if we see any official info

 dont like the front end, with the open air duct, looks well unhappy like that, prefer a closed front end, or perhaps thats me being a traditionalist....does the engine look more open to the elements aswell..other than that nice, any other colour schemes been seen or just the Red????

 Thats not too bad, as long as they'd ditch the pink graphics and the Testarossa style slashes between the fairing panels.

It's a bit Miami Vice.......

 on the jap pics i don't like the idea of the engine being so exposed.seems like they have left a panel off by mistake.
i like the stubby can idea but would have to see it in the flesh so to speak as some current one look rubbish to be polite (new blade,new cb1000 hornet thing)
i must admit i like the front end on the blue one better.it reminds me on the ducati desmo bike.
also the area around the seat and fuel tank looks better on the blue one and less fussy than the red bike.

 I think Nitro's pic is pretty much on the money but it'll need a spectacular spec sheet to keep it ahead of the game.

Judging by the number of new Fireblades I've seen knocking about, the '09 R1 will need more than great looks.


For best results saturate with lager

 I quite like it. I think it has a look of the Desmo RR about it.

I like this a lot better than the former. More refined. Smoother. More subtle, IMO.

They're on schedule for a "minor update" for MY09, but Honda and Ducati in particular really seem to have stepped up, and a minor update doesn't seem like it'll be enough to keep them in the proverbial game.

Don't forget about the RC8, Aprilia's forthcoming V4 (btw., where the hell is that thing already ?) and Honda's rumored V4.

I hope it's a big jump, like most of you seem to think. I feel like it needs to be.
