Course you could just buy the new BMW with the same amount of power for the same price or less...

Yeah it's a damn sexy looking bike....... in race trim. Street trim is looks like a lazy eyed down syndrome child.

its all bullshit till they start hitting third party dynos. Yammy still claims 180 for the new r1 which is hilariously optimistic

Why all the Buell talk?

Suzuki isn't selling this bike, Yosh is.

There was an R1 similar to this a few years back but I can't for the life of me remember the builder. Anyone have any idea of what I am talking about?

Was it Graves by chance? I'm just guessing, I don't know for sure.

No, that was my first thought too.

IIRC, it was a company that was a guy's name (like Roland Sands but not).

Apparently he is big in the R1 world and is a well known racer but I hadn't heard of him before his special $30k R1 came out.

It's driving me nuts.

Damn phone surfing and didnt see this page. The Ragin Cajun specials were for public consumption and not meant to be base package race bikes. I mean in the old days even the factory race specials did not have all the goodies that the actual factory teams had to install and use. The were race bikes with lights so the factories could take advantage of a loophole in the rules. DMG has made the loophole the rule and I hope we see an American Honda 'special' and a Kawaski 'special' to compete. Even with the elevated pricetag there would be an increase in grid sizes and Pegrams 1198R wouldnt be the only rich boy bike in the field...

Yamaha made the LE with Ohlins suspension a few years back. That one was 30k I think..\ It was direct from factory. The shop just down the street had one.
