Redesigned the motor and firing order. Sounds like fucking greatness. Best sound clip is at the end.

[DrifterExtreme]

sounds like a great idea for racing, but still sounds weird as hell.

not really bad but just very different.

[HandoEX]

Sounds much more like a twin than an I4. I love the sound of it!

Definately overpriced but did you listen to that sweetness?

[treimche]

The new R1 is awesome, and I wish I could get rid of mine for one. Look at the firing order and it gets a little bit confusing. I wish the US got the Euro R1 that is white w/ the red swingarm.

[crazy_civic]

you can compare the 848 and the new r1 sounds in person...we have a 2009 848 at my dealership...sounds different, but so did the 2008 cbr1000rr and look how great that worked out...literbike showdown champ

You bring it to the dragstrip, you ride it, and we'll wager on it.

Afterall, it won the 2009 supersport shootout.
