Didn't they used to have a thing called "Delta Box" or something like that?

BTW, nice bike.

how does this bike feel vs. the r6? Obviously faster but does it feel a lot heavier than the r6 overall when turning?

well, the bike is heavier than the R6, however in the turns i have been very comfortable with it, almost as good as the r6... as a matter of fact i like the R1 better, specially in the freeway, you dont even feel that you are going that fast.. but turnswise, i feel it about the same although it is heavier..

The "Delta Box" IS a Frame Design and Has Nothing to do with Ram Air....
