43mm upside down forks now have independent damping, compression in left, rebound in right leg. Yamaha says this improves the damping response. As the forks are connected by the yokes and wheel spindle it’s all one unit, so is still balanced out properly.   


 :yikes  confused, nice though.

That R1 sounded great, can't wait to hear on in the flesh.

That was one nice road they were on, but I couldn't see any man holes mid corner or speed cameras  :rofl

The bikes are really close,really difficult to seperate but there's a clear winner (but wasn't until they rode a little longer)   :rofl

As suspected - gonna be the better rider that 'wins'. :D
