Didnt know that. Nothing that a race ecu cant fix right?

The thing that pisses me off about the new R1 is the price tag. Jesus H Christ. Almost 13.5 before T/T/T, and 14.5 with the special edition. That opens a whole new ballpark of bikes.

Race ecu has no provision for a speedo, euro didn't have it but to swap to that you need a matched set of ecu, wiring harness, ign switch, and key.
