I'm not crazy on the looks but it's not that bad, but what a ridiculous pricetag. Lots of people are drawn to bikes because they give super-car performance with an affordable price tag. I can't see many people being able to justify £16k on a 'toy' and this new R1 isn't exactly a commuting tool. Unless it depreciates massively (which means it's way overpriced or not very good) then second hand models won't even be affordable before the next new R1 is released!
