so lemme get this straight:

R6 = 600cc
R1 = 1,000cc
... wtf is an R8 then? If there's anything coming out, I doubt they'd call it an R8 if they want to keep things traditional...

Um... an R7 was the 750cc bike... If they ever come out with a 'Busa style bike, it'll be the R12/13/14/15 or whatever guaranteed!

Man my boyfriend has been drooling over one of them as soon as he hear it existed. He is a HUGE 5th gen. VFR fan and would love to SC his. How much is the system going for? I probably shouldn't ask that.....

That VFR Is Regoddamndiculous...But I like it!!!

Around $5k Hokie. You wanna get me a kit too?

I wouldn't even call it a prototype picture, if you look real close at the rear wheel you'll notice that the spokes curl toward the other side of the bike just like bikes with single sided swingarms and this R8 has a standard style swingarm.

Kardesign does a lot of sketches and such.
