Indeed, it certainly looks that way. We really need the citation on this. If anyone finds it, let me know on my talk page, as I am currently Wikifying this page. Thanks, CommanderSoloho 14:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[User:CommanderSoloho|The Commander]
This article says the R90S has "stunning visual design."
It's really hard to tell that from the photos. Well, that's because there aren't any!

Hi all, I modified the text based on the original smaller article stub on the R90s on Wiki. I can confirm that it was my own work, with no copying from any article or other story about the R90s, either in print or on line. It was otherwise unpublished until its post on Wiki. It was written from the experience of someone that has owned this rather special motorcycle model for over 13 years. Give me a break guys - Im a bike rider, not a research writer...
So sorry the style did not originaly fit - and thanks for those that corrected the 90S/90s issue and the max power/torque errata. The Ian Falloon reference is appreciated as well if only for its tech specifications.
If amyone has references re the later Oilhead models sporting similar graphics (R850/1100R) please fell free to add content thanks.
BTW: I removed the original photo as it didnt do the bike justice Jeff (You couldnt see its vis design features). I will hunt through my collection of images and oblige you all with a replacement.
Commander: email me if you want to discuss this -I am happy to give you further content over what is a modern classic motorcycle from a very lucky owner of one. I can help you wiki it with inside knowledge of the bike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.145.178 (talk) 11:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tone
Yes, this reads like something copied from a biker mag, and the first-person use of "I never use it" and "my bike" is completely out of place here. And is the model R90S or R90s? This article needs a lot of work. Chris the speller 16:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I made a small correction in the earlier version. Max power (67 HP) at 5.000 RPM is not correct, should be maximum torque, in Nm. (at 5.500 RPM, as far as I know) Max power is at about 7.000 RPM. and, indeed, has a HP dimension.
