The kawi H2 and H2R is ridiculous..but makes me wonder, one off on the track and all that lovely machinery disintegrating into a pile of crap.

The new Honda superbike is looking promising indeed too. I'd love ot get one of those over the yamaha R1M  (as much of a yammy roadbike fan i am..stil ride my Honda CRF250R)

H2R is a great looking and sounding bike but I'm more of a corner carver than a power guy.  Plus even a belt driven compressor will have a little lag and hurt response around town with the lower compression ratio. Pretty, but too heavy and not nearly as sophisticated as the Yamaha chassis and active Ohlins suspension.

"The electronics is where the MotoGP inspiration comes in. It’s got the lot, starting with a six-axis “Inertial Measurement Unit” (IMU) that uses gyros and accelerometers to measure pitch, roll, yaw, and acceleration from front to back, left to right and up to down. This unit communicates with the Yamaha Ride Control ECU to provide data for a brim-full goodie bag of rider assist, safety and go-fast features including:

Adjustable and user-programmable power delivery modes
Lean angle sensitive traction control
4-stage slide control to manage powerslides
4-stage lift control to dial in your maximum wheelie settings
Full-throttle launch control (one of the most terrifying experiences you can have on two wheels)
Quickshifter for upshifts only
Slipper clutch to keep the rear from losing traction on high-rpm downshifts
Linked ABS braking designed to help keep the rear down under hard braking

It also features fully electronic, active Ohlins suspension that takes data from the IMU on speed, attitude, lean angle, acceleration and brake pressure in order to constantly update rebound and compression damping for the ideal ride, be it on the street or track. More advanced users can switch to manual mode and adjust everything in fine detail without getting the screwdrivers out at all.

The other key selling point for the R1M is an advanced datalogging GPS system that communicates via WiFi with an iOS or Android app to give riders a huge range of data about the track season they’ve just completed, including the ability to make settings changes to re-upload back to the R1M. "

Both would be nice to have both though!  Just need to sell your dCS gear.

I must have this thread all to myself. Anyway, I'm digging the new KTM 350 EXC-F.

Hi funkmeister,

I can confirm that if you are lightweight, the KTM 350 EXC-F is great bike. Its not too heavy, for enduro use its maybe the most wanted bike in here. The parts are top quality, just like shipsupt said, excel rims, hydraulic clutch etc.. I am about 77-80kg and i have the KTM 530 EXC.  My friend has the 350 SX. The 530EXC torque/power curve is easier to handle than 450. So i would suggest either 350EXC or 530EXC.

Also look into the new Beta 300RR if you like strokers..a buddy just got one and its friggin sweet! tons of low grunt and winds up way faster and harder than i can handle it.

Put that motor and some of the electronics (like the slide control) in a naked model next year Yamaha. My Speed Triple's starting to feel a bit worn after 4.5 years (a miracle for anything made in England, I tell you) and I'd love a streetfighter version of the R1. Anyone who's seen the stripped bike will agree with me. That frame is simply gorgeous!!
