I cant get into the Hayden edition. Im not a big nicky hayden fan and the color scheme doesnt do it for me either. I think the bike's lines speak for itself. Just a nice white to keep it clean and simple.

the 09 R1 is a different bike. never been a R1 fan, but now I am.
if i could afford the new BMW or the Aprillia RSV4 Factory, then those would be my first choices.
