Just learned it ERIC bostrom.

Pure R&D rider. You never know, it might be Pnumatic after all!

Answer 2

I would think it was some sort of sensor. Bloody nice bike though.

Answer 3

I can't see it having pneumatic valves as its a production based series.

I rekon its some kind of electronic gizmo, probably to do with traction control or possibly some kind of data logging device.

Addition 2035hrs:

I stand corrected, the 2008 R1 will have pneumatic valves. Wow.....you learn something new every day. A production bike with that kit on! I'm gonna now make Nitro Norri my favorite for the WSBK crown.

Still don't know what the blue thing is though.

Another Addition 2110hrs:

I could be wrong again, I don't think the R1 will have pneumatic valves, just the Moto GP bike. Probably something for the future though.

Answer 4

It's that thingy.....You know.....that's hooked to the doodad.....Awww, forget it.
