Long live the long stroke engines of the late 90's, early 2000 bikes.
Best looking YZF-R1 imho 🥰
I love this R1 2001,2002.2003 is the best R1 looking
nah 07-08 but 02 is 2nd best
@@BoxingLegends2024 have u rode 02 03 on a track?
@@vws8851 maaan I wish I did but I am looking at an 02’ in red with some goodies, and I do have laguna seca and Sonoma raceway by me too to try so I think it’s kinda a no brainer at this point 😂
Thanks for bringing us these old bikes!!
Just bought one of these and your review was excellent and so well delivered, keep up the good work 👏🙌
Thanks for your kind words! Fantastic choice on bike, enjoy it!
isn't it carb powered?
@@jerryx2000 no its fuel injection
Hadn’t seen this review till today, the same as I have including colour. Excellent review 👍
Thanks for the kind words!
It's an awesome bike, I was well impressed with the one I rode for this review 👍
Thanks for the review. I'm just eyeballing a great deal on an R1 in my area. And this review really helped :)
You're very welcome, glad I could help!
Growing up, this was my dream bike.
I finally found one and currently in the process of restoring it .
You earned a Sub to day! Cheers from Las Vegas, NV🙋🏻♂️
A place I would love to visit!
Thanks for the sub,
Much love from England! 🇬🇧
Same here.
I have one, same color and I love it. It’s plenty for street riding and I got a power commander 5 along with a yosh carbon slip on. I am leaving the valve because it does help with torque. Also have Sato rear sets which are no longer available. Sadly
I recently got back into sportbikes after nearly 17 years since I sold my 96 Honda CBR600F3. I rode that CBR for 18k miles in the first year. But now I wanted a liter bike without all the rider assisted electronics, so I found a 2003 R1 with only 10k miles on it. I've done some more modern upgrades like a 14 inch Hindle muffler with 2.25 inch headers and a power commander 5 tuned for my exhaust. The muffler that was on it was a 21 inch Micron slip-on. After my current upgrades, now my 19 year old R1 makes 145 wheel hp, which is about 165-170 motor hp. Far more than I need, and with the EXUP system removed, the Hindle full exhaust sounds great. Truthfully, I actually prefer not having all the electronics, because I like honing my skill instead of a computer controlling everything. Pretty much the only electronics I'd care to have would be ABS, other than that I'm good with just the fuel injection.
My R1 gets compliments all the time, and it's so clean and well kept that no one believes it's 19 years old. The only thing that the 04+ bikes have, that I wish my 03 had, is ram air. However, there is a Graves airbox I can get that would give my 03 ram air. I might do that and some velocity stacks. From what I've read I might be in the 150-155 wheel hp range with those added. That's 175-180 hp from a bike that is almost a classic, and it only cost me $6000 instead of $12k-20k for a newer model.
I love my R1, and the mods I've made make it so customized to my liking that I'd have a really hard time selling it and starting over.
Wouldn't trade my 02 R1 for anything love it.
It's an awesome bike, I was well impressed with the one I rode for the review. 👍
Just picked up a 2003 R1 with only 14k miles from the original owner🥲 Facebook marketplace has some steals!!!! Just threw a delkevic exhaust on the bike now it just pops and crackles everywhere I love it!!!! Best bike I’ve owned for sure lol my aprilia RSV Mille wasn’t this light and fast 😰
Glad your enjoying it, its an awesome bike...though I'm slightly biased on your comment, I have a real soft spot for the RSV's!
I've used Delkevic exhausts myself, I was really impressed with the quality of them. Enjoy the R1! :-)
@@FrontWheelUp I loved my RSV and I do miss it since I had it for 3 years and it was my 2nd bike 🥲, one of the best Vtwin sport bikes ever to come out of Italy/Austria 👌🏾
My fingers are crossed 🤞🏻
Best of luck Alan, its a cracking bike 👌
This is the Bike I have, in the process of restoring it and I love it already 😍
Awesome! I really enjoyed my time on this one, I fancy getting an abused one for a track bike build series for the channel. 👍
I really wish to see that
Christ i can't get over how nice this bike is 😎. The coats road in some of your videos were is that
It was a lovely bike! The coast road used in the videos runs between Barrow in Furness towards Ulverston in Cumbria. JD Comps are based near Barrow, hence using the same route on a few of the videos. 👍
@@FrontWheelUp 🤣🤣ok cool here's me thinking its yorkshire 🤦♂️
Close enough! 😆
Also first fuel injection model!
It's hard to get parts for this bike if you live in the USA does anyone have some recommendations.. Please and thanks
my favorite bike
Awesome bit of kit! 👌
Isn't this the 2nd generation of the R1? I think you said 3rd. Love this bike. I remember I bought mine brand new (2002 model year) in sept of 02. I've had 20 or so bikes since then but this one was the one..(literally). Funny thing is that I picked one up just yesterday, an 03 Raven with 30k miles! Amazing how good the bike still is....she was my 1st love and I'm happy to have her sister take a place in my current garage.
Possibly, I guess its sort of open to interpretation, 2000-2001 saw improvements over the original 1998-1999 R1, the 2002-2003 further refined it....but in 2004 the R1 had a fairly major overhaul. I might have been referring to this bike being the 3rd revision of the original R1...or I may have made a mistake! 😂
Funnily enough I've been filming my review of an original 1998 R1 yesterday, an awesome bike so stay tuned for that.
Your 100% right, it's an awesome bike. Enjoy it! 👌👌
This is a gen3. Last of the carb bikes. 2004 is the first of EFi with under seat exhaust. Short stroke engine.
I’m sure you know now that you plant your feet before you pull the trigger. In traffic it’s almost a tell
Ad three of these bikes never ad any problems with any of them. opinion best rear end out all the r1 range
Fantastic bike 👌
I had its poster on my wall, it was beautiful, it still is but I never liked its rear end, its way long, even going farther than the rear tyre.
Is there anyway to shorten it by a couple of inches..?? It will still look the same but a little more compact.
100% possible. If you punch "02 R1 tail conversion" into Google you'll get some ideas. Lots of people have switched out the tail unit to one from a newer generation R1. 👍
Any bike in its original mint shape is always prettier than a rebuild IMO. (Except tail tidy, led blinkers, exhaust)
I have the same bike i swapped its tail with the 2005 r1 model
Nice! I really enjoyed test riding this one 👌
What do you need other than the fairing to do the conversion
@@christopheranaya2543 back light and some adjustment in the frame to fix new fairing on it
How much did it cost to do that.. Also what state you live in
What is that coastline? Seems pretty.
Opposite Morcambe Bay, north west England 🙂
@@FrontWheelUp Close to the Isle of Man. Beautiful area.
I just put a down payment on an 03 R1
Awesome! Enjoy it!!
Just bought one... I am bit scared..
It's a very capable bike but it is also quite friendly, much of the power is quite high in the rev range. Just take it easy you'll soon get used to it! Ride safe! 👍
Front Wheel Up thanks!! I come from enduro 2 strokes bikes, but has been years since I ride I bike, I will take easy for sure!
Be safe too! 🙌
Overdone the drone shots. 🥱 Most of those could have been done nicer just walking around the bike holding a GoPro 😁
