Hey I thought that one of the bikes you could get was the Yamaha Moto GP bike. But where is it at. I have the R1. Man what a bike.:D

'fraid there aren't any GP bikes to be had. :( What you can get is the race modified R1 in the stupidly fantastic yellow/white/black Yamaha racing colour scheme. Currently my favourite of the litre bunch in TT by quite a long way.

Edit: As seen here (http://www.motogpboards.com/showthread.php?p=1036#post1036).

Yeah I would have to agree about the R1. I love that bike. I first took the Ducati 999R and raced the superbike series. I won, but it was a huge battle. Then I went back with the R1, and put a smack down on them. Won all of the races.

But the ducati really turns nice. but just seemed to be lacking something.

Could the missing ingredient in the Ducati be blazing acceleration the RM seems to have?

Boy you could say that again. But it really turns in nice and is a really fun bike to run.

I've fallen in love with the YSP & Presto R1. Just need to fiddle with the brakes a little to ride "neutral." That bike just flat out screams into a corner, and I don't have as much of a problem on the more technical tracks.
