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!

[HandoEX]

848 with Termi's is about as sexy as you can get.

Definately overpriced but did you listen to that sweetness?

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.

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

overpriced yes...but the 2009 848 won the 2009 supersport shootout...so i guess it could walk over you any day

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

Afterall, it won the 2009 supersport shootout.

Every crotch rocket should sound like that R1 does PERIOD. That growl made my pants tight.

[crazy_civic]

ethan, you also have to remember, it has to be stock supersport against stock supersport...putting a 112hp bike against per se your 1000 wouldn't even be a race, but now you on a stock supersport vs the stock 2009 848, thats a race, plus i can't race it, it would be up to my boss if he let me take it for that
