Back to Japanese reliability

New to this forum and according to my dealer 6 weeks away from getting a 2015 R1.
Had a lot of bikes in my time and a lot of twins or V4's. Having owned a KTM RC8R for the last three years I've decided that everything needs to change - what a pile of junk. I could write a book about how in-capable RC8(R)'s are of standing up to a trackday - Ready to Race my arse.
So more cylinders (but a nice crossplane crank) and above all Japanese reliability are a good start.
So looking forward to power and reliability. 6 weeks (hopefully) and counting...
