Also a little about the bike as well so far....

Yamahas new M1 has an all-new in-line 4 cyclinder, 5-valve per cylinder engine developing over 200PS. The M1 code following Yamaha’s traditional YZR race prototype prefix stands for Mission One. . The chassis is a direct development from that of the YZR500 two-stroke GP bike[Deltabox], featuring an adjustable head stem and swingarm pivot, the major distinction being the geometry design due to the different engine and strengthened swingarm. The M1 was already under development towards the latter part of 2000 and has proven to have better acceleration and higher top-end than the YZR500 due to the smoother power delivery. This also means longer tyre-life, every team and rider's dream.

The specs are as follows:

Engine Liquid-cooled 4-stroke 5-valve DOHC Cylinder layout In-line four Displacement Less than 990 cc Max. power output Over 200 PS Ignition system CDI Lubrication system Wet sump Clutch type Dry multiplate Transmission 6 speed Final drive Chain Wheel size (front) 17 inch Wheel size (rear) 17 inch, 16.5 inch Suspension (front) Telescopic Suspension (rear) Monocross Brakes (front) Dual disc Brakes (rear) Single disc Frame type Deltabox Fuel tank capacity 24 litres Weight Over 145 kg (In accordance with FIM regulations)

Oh yeah. It is a done deal and anyone currently riding an R6 qualifies so you are in Dave!

Dunno though - the R7 was badass - only 50 made it to the U.S. @ $25,000 each. That M1 though is pretty sweet. It almost makes me forget about the R7 which started it all - it was the beginning of the R6 & R1, etc. But that M1 - DAYYYYYMMMMNNNNNN smokey that is bad ass. Give me one of each!
