Isn't it incredible the level of technology available on motorcycles these days? The complexity behind the systems is mind blowing. Delivering a new level of performance and rider experience.
Well bro that is the question I ask myself repeatedly. Since yamaha makes those high tech improvements, why suzuki's price are higher without any upgrades? Ah my bad forgot the amazing ABS comes with 2015 gixxers well done suzuki *clap*
the h2 is more of a hyabusa killer. not really a race bike. yes it would kill the R1 or even a motogp bike in a drag race. but put them on a track piloted by an experienced rider the R1 should be able to do better the H2
east coaster It's actually the lack of technology that appeals to me.....not the looks. I DO like the way that older bikes look, but it's the ability to really ride the machine that I like the most. I'll gladly admit that the electronics packages, on new bikes, is amazing. As amazing as it all is, I genuinely feel that it's all robbing the rider of that wonderful 'seat of your pants' experience that you just can't get, if something else is making all the tough calls for you. And, please don't take this the wrong way, as i'm sure that you're a decent rider, just using all that the bike can offer, to get the best result, BUT!!!!!! I do feel that a good electronics package replaces great skill. Not one person riding a new bike can actually say that they have great riding skill. The nanosecond that your ability to judge a situation is replaced with a machine that can do it for you, you've just lost that particular skill....And with a new R1? I'd reckon that you're just about a passenger. Treat yourself. Take an old clunker for a spin, and feel the freedom of choice!
wow this bike is just amazing piece of art!!! MUST HAVE!!! it looks great, the more I hear of it the more I like it. Defenetly gonna test ride that next year... only minus that´s expensive as sh.t......
MrAssholebynature1 I just picked myself up a 2005 Yamaha R6, holy hell I'm excited to ride it. This goddamn weather needs to hurry up and roll the fuck out so I can ride without freezing my ass off!
hondac55 aren't you from texas player?..... sshhhiiiitttt, it ain't cold in texas.... hey, when are you gonna up load some more videos? That blue s1000rr gets ya everytime, do you need a head start to beat the german beast mr. A?
Revolutionary and a league of its own? You guys did notice the new S1000RR pretty much has everything 'revolutionary' about the R1M as well (and then some), right? Don't get me wrong, the R1 continues to be the most gorgeous super bike of the lot (has been for over 10 years now) and if I ever decide to get a super sport, it'll be an R1. But the S1000RR is probably the better (racing) bike.
the s1000RR's seems a lot less adjustable. I think yamaha took it a little bit further for instance the adjustability of the electronic suspension. if the bmw can, they don't say so on their website. I also don't see any mention of the gyroscopic traction control and slide control etc etc. which are also rider adjustable. so it's not just a mode you live with. we are talking about the R1M not the standard R1 which I believe lacks most of the stuff in the video. it definitely doesn't come with the ohlins suspension. so in that aspect the bmw is a better buy. since it comes with better stuff for 16k. i think the R1m (the one in the video) is 22K
blue03r6 The S1000RR does have the DDC (dynamic damping control) which is a fully adjustable electronic suspension as well as a traction control that takes into account things like lean angle and speed. Both of these are similar to what the R1M offers and they're adjustable from the dash board while riding. With the DDC you can adjust compressions and rebounds, with the DTC you can specify a general tier and you have an additional up/down-button to fine-tune the amount of intervention. With the Race Calibration Kit you can take it one step further and not only adjust TC individually for lean angle and speed but also the DDC based on track distance, allowing you to specify the suspension settings for individual parts of the track. And that's just scratching the surface. It's also got a GPS data logger as well as an up/down-quickshifter just like the R1M. I genuinely can't find a single feature in the articles about the R1M that the S1000RR doesn't have. So, given the fact that the new S1000RR has been released to the press about 3 months ago, I'd say whatever 'revolutionary' the R1M appears to have done, the S1000RR did it first. Doesn't change the fact that the R1(M) looks spectacular, though.
But the R1 produces more champions than Ducati or the BMW S1000RR. From AMA to MotoGP 1, 2, and 3. Come again? You sure the S1000RR is a better race bike?
God this guy's such a gruesome salesman - I think he hates what a sell-out he is. And the bike needs a better colour scheme - the old black never fails.
Gabriel Yohannson its designed to look like motorgp bikes motorgp bikes have no headlights and they are trying to hide it to make it looks like. i do agree it screw up its outlooks tho. then again, talks about performance, this bike is properly the best out there already.
Just love Yamaha and off course the big 4s.R1 is one of my favorite bikes of all time,but will never be able to afford one.In my country it will cost around US$32k.
At the first i kinda hate the design. The headlights. The wheels. But seems now i'm loving it. Just wonder why don't they use brembo carbon disc on this bike. It'll be awesome! The closest bike to motogp. Probably yes & its quite afforadable when compared to the new honda street legal motogp where nuts are going to buy ✌️
J Costa Not for cruising, that's for sure. J, when you grow up and get married and have children you will reconsider street racing. Why? Why miss out on all that fun? Because only a real immature person would constantly put his life and limb at risk for the ego trip of being the fastest bike racer around. Anyway once you have children then you will grow up. You will need to be there for them all through their young lives. A dead, absent father is so sad for the children. So anyway once you have a family what do you do? You cruise! Cruising is still motorcycle riding but instead of racing you enjoy the view. Harley-Davidson understands that hence they make the most popular cruisers in the world. I'm 65 and I raced a 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville on the back roads and super Parkway's of Long Island and I was "Undefeated" in 10 consecutive years of street cafe racing. I have never met anyone else who has accomplished that. So yes when I was young and single I enjoyed racing. Once I got married and had children I got my first H-D back in 1994. Guess what? I'm still riding and I am a cruiser. I enjoy riding on roads that I have never been on and I enjoy the beautiful world. I'm here looking at this Yamaha RZF-RM1 because I still love racing, but since I have nothing to prove to anybody about how good I am I will stick with my Harley-Davidson's. I am looking for a new bike and it is down to the H-D Road King and the H-D Softail Deluxe. I ride everyday. In fact when I was young I rode all winter long up there in New York, no matter how cold. No fairing and no wind shield either. BTW I purchased a side car and mounted it on my H-D and brought my son and my daughter along for the rides. I cruised along at safe speeds only with my beloved children with me. We never got hurt and now they are grown ups and I'm kinda old. Still riding. So please reconsider your knee-jerk insults toward Harley-Davidson's. If you live long enough odds are you may own one. P.S. I still have my Triumph Bonneville and she sit's not more than 20 feet from me as I type this in. Have a great life!
This bike is far faster than 90% of the people who will buy one. I hope Rossi can put it to good use and win his 10th championship. 100 HP satisfys me, the older I get the faster I used to be.
Then the bike isn't for you. This bike is like the ultimate bike for people who want to do track racing. For people like me who don't expect to be on a track any time soon, the R1 will do just fine. It's just as stable, just as fast, and just as comfy, there's just a little less customizability.
hondac55 As a guy who track rides/racing. This is for guys with deep pockets and race teams that's it. It's sad when I go out somewhere and see someone street riding an HP4, I will shed a tear if I see an R1M chilling on the side of a road.
Vox McMuffen Why be sad or shed a tear about that? Other people can do whatever the hell they want to do with what they own. If I want to buy something crazy technical or expensive and I just want it sitting in my livingroom then that is what I will do. If someone can't ride for shit but buys a Ducati Superleggera or a Kawasaki H2R because that person has the money, I won't be upset about it at all. It's those people with deep pockets who allow companies to produce cutting edge technology.
I've been on my Honda CT 110 (postie bike) for about a month now... I'm looking to upgrade to get something that'll make me look cooler, would a H2R be a good next step? Either that or a Busa I think
yamaha might aswell put new fairing on the old model for the us market since they only dragrace bikes and think thats racing . they dont need all the new geometrics and parts
I love this bike last five years i am collect my all savingmoney to buy this but i dont buy this beacuse i have not sffort it can company help me to give a huge discount i will be very thankfull
Aluminum bolts fuck that! Give me steel or titanium for that price. Anyone who go's to the track, races ect Takes apart their bike on the regular... Those aluminum bolts strip so damn easy with all the thread lock yamaha throws on there. If you don't have a heat gun you better get one and warm up the bolt you want to take off before you do it or you will have a very bad day. That's the only thing that I find wrong with the M1 lol.

GOOD STATS FOR YOU................................................- 90% of all sportbike sales goes to "squid" riders.......these stupid douchbags give all mature, respectable sportbike riders a bad name- 90% of all sportbike riders will only utlize 30% of the bike's ability- 10% of all sportbikes will ever see a track day- 90% of all sportbikes riders will do the majority of their riding on the streetsI've only ridden sportbikes since my 20s........I'm no squid, I always wear my gear, I've take taken several MSF courses and ride responsibly......and now since I'm getting older, I am seriously considering get a a dual purpose or sport tourer bike. Why? Cause it's more comfortable.I really hate it when people pisses on sportbike riders just because they want a really fast bikeI really hate it when sportbike riders pisses on cruiser riders just because they want to cruiseI just really fucking hate the fact that people want to hate because they don't care or approve of the other's choice in bikeIT'S THIS FUCKING STUPID MENTALITY alot of motorcyclists have for one another that just absolutely makes zero senseWhy can't people just enjoy the ride????
"Sorry but Kawasaki has you beat. Their h2 and h2r are miles ahead of your r1 and rm1" Gentlemen... I don't base my opinions on emotion like the dude who made this uninformed comment above. The H2 (Curb Weight 524.8 lb) and H2R (Curb Weight 476.5 lb) are significantly heavier bikes than the new R1 (437.8 lb wet)... if you do the calculations, the new R1 has a better or equivalent power - to - weight ratio than both. On the track? Would be pretty close to an even match - R1 to H2R, and the H2 would be left behind due to being so much portlier supercharger notwithstanding... the R1 will corner and accelerate much more quickly out of the turns, where track racing is won and lost... not on the straightaways. On price the R1 has both beat by a country mile... This confirms what both companies have advertised. The R1 is meant to be as close to Moto GP as legally possible at a relatively affordable price. The H2 and H2R is meant to be equivalent to owning a Bugatti... extremely exotic but only for the uber rich who have money to burn. I concede the Kawi models are very slick in black, but for everyday riding and street / track the R1 or R1M will win and is much more practical. Any bets on my comments when an actual straight comparison is performed?
Is it just me or is the styling of bikes going downhill? In my opinion, 03-05 Honda, 05-07 Suzuki and 04-05 R1 (Not a fan of R6 styling) were the best models when it came to looks. Of course the bikes are improving in all other areas, but clean lines and slick silhouettes are slowly disappearing.
Yeah, but is it going to be affordable for the common rider. What? You don't think we get enough tickets now with what we ride, that you want to give us a machine that will guarantee more tickets. I would certainly not put out the kind of money you'll be asking for that machines, just to ride it on a track. So tell me what good is all that wonderful stuff if I have to stay within the speed limit. the cops already hate us, and this machine will tempt us to take even more risks. You know, those exhilarating knee dragging, foot peg dragging corners we love to put ourselves to the test on. I just finished a 212 mi. ride out to Borrego Springs and back, east of San Diego. Now there is a test bed that is worth your adrenaline. That will certainly put that machine to the test..... No, no, no not on a track, on an actual road that the rest of us ride on. I'm an old fart, cut I still get a thrill out of testing myself on my FJR1300A on those curves !!
It probably is, but I cant understand why Yamaha did not clad the R1 with the M1 fairings. I mean the headlights are already mounted under the "fairings" and front indicators are in the mirrors. And then placing/mounting the rear light with the indicators and number plate on a long "stick" that is easily removed for trackday/racing would be so nice for us amateurs as that would mean we would not need to buy racing fairings. And yes a "replica" M1 frame would be nice, but to be fair bodywork of the real M1 would be Epic for mortals like us :D
- Hi, I am here to see the all new R1 - Do come in. What do you want to know about it first? - Does it have a supercharger that breaks the sound barrier? - No, it does not. - Thanks, bye. ( No offence I bet it is great piece of kit, but still a refinement of the old bike not a new one. I want to see what are other manufacturers going to come up to rival H2. That will be some spectacular battle.)
Getting ridiculous with gizmos and cost.!! On the road you wouldn't notice much difference from a much older model... And the older ones look far nicer. The only competition i see in manufacturers currently, is who can make the ugliest bike.!!!.
A company that finally listened to its customers. I never wanted a japanese bike due to the amount of high revving fucking squids out there but now, fuck it. I am trading in my girlfriend.
I don't have any electronic rider aides on my bike, at all (Duc 848) but there was one feature that mine has. LED turnsignals integrated into the (useless) sidemirrors. Victoria! lol
Fantastic technology, but like I have said in the past, we are basically getting to the point where a computer is operating the bike and not the rider. Riders just beginning their racing career are going to learn on these bikes and will never unless by choice learn how to truly race with just sheer bike. And with all new electronics, at some point in time they will fail, just like any component. And what happens when the brains of the bike fails? Does the rider have to forfeit because he can't ride without it? (I am talking riders that would potentially learn on these bikes, and not already experienced riders just starting on them)
well the problem is , i dont see anything of proof , i only see video s that you can start the engine , i see a video with the bike on the bench .....hey but waith 1 st there al yamaha video s and 2 team video s that ride yamaha , i asked around for benchmarks , they where rummors of 220 hp ( okey you got to take that not serieus ) but than with the big show with Rossi and Lorenzo Yamaha s big boss talked about 200 hp , now i dont get to see a dyno result , nothing ..... i saw one ... and i realy hope it s a fake one , it was not bad , but let s just say that kawa , BMW , Ducati , aprillia got absolutely nothing to fear .... i think there a bit in trouble , and that s why you get nothing solid to see
I would subscribe but the fact that you've got a ton of vids under 5mins some no longer that 2mins makes me think do I really want notifications about as long as a blink. Love this upload though !
and insurance will be twice the outrageous price it is now for a 1000cc bike. idk how people think will want this on the street just asking for hot headed people to wreck and give motorcycle riders a even worse rep. great idea but see bad future for this technology.
I ride Italian bike but that R1 is gorgeous! Let's wait to see how it performs worldwide in competition. Still think Aprilia, BMW and Ducati will beat the R1M.
the line between a motogp bike and any other street bike is like f4om here to the andromeda galaxy buddy stop advertising shit ain't real a motogp bike cost 2 or 3 million dollars to produce
9 лет назад
I'm a Ducati Hypermotard SP and Yamaha FZ1-N rider, and I reaaaaally want one of these
oh yes before i forget , there is more than hp only , you need it to work , it s got to steer good , but thats what i ment , i see nothing ? for example went to kawa last year , they gave me a bike and said go take some realy fast corners , test the ..... out of it , now that s confidence in you product ....
Amazing bike!
SNOWCAT PLEASEM REPLY TO ME
its so far ahead of the competition its like 70's bruce jenner competing against disckless bruce jenner
Jesus Christ Yamaha!! Calm the fuck down!!
dreadheadmarlee25
Best? You mean most expensive.
Besides it keeps saying limited quantities and not listing the quantity that I can find.
dreadheadmarlee25 this was until the 1299 penigale came out
dreadheadmarlee25 oh shit it's definitely better in looks and it's a god damn Vtwin 1299 it's insane watch MotoGeo
4-stroke dirt bike really o.0 I know taste is subjective but wow seriously?
Dude a ducati has a vtwin not a triple or 4 cylinder, and it sure as hell does not sound like a single cylinder bike
Been riding my grom for 2 months and I think its time for an upgrade so should this be my second bike?
you won't
18749£
you are kidding right you wanna go from a 125 to a 1000? Sure what do you want me to say at your funeral
Yeah, I ride a moped, I think I'm ready for the Kawasaki H2
Christian Sams have you rode it for more than 2 weeks?
Man......... what a bike.
I thought I'd never buy a Yamaha,
but Its the best 1000 ever.
Isn't it incredible the level of technology available on motorcycles these days? The complexity behind the systems is mind blowing. Delivering a new level of performance and rider experience.
this technology is insane, and to think my GXSR just has power modes *cries*
Well bro that is the question I ask myself repeatedly. Since yamaha makes those high tech improvements, why suzuki's price are higher without any upgrades? Ah my bad forgot the amazing ABS comes with 2015 gixxers well done suzuki *clap*
***** lol calm down i hate iphones and i am definitely not a puppet, whos to say i was serious? get a life
LiveToRide you gsxr is cleaner than this R1 to me and I like yamaha.
+LiveToRide You're nowhere close to riding your Gixxer to the limit, so you don't need all this.
+H1TMANactual how did you know that exactly?
Does it have a reset button, I think I'd fuck it up and either be riding a potato for the rest of time or die
It needs anti-virus software.
The 2016 Model will just do away with the rider altogether. Why carry that weight around?
Dear Yamaha,
Lovely bike, absolutely a dream. Although, I think that your film/production could use some work. Just my two cents!
they most have forgotten abt the new Kawasaki Ninja H2 the street version and the new H2R that kills this Yamaha when they made this video???
the h2 is more of a hyabusa killer. not really a race bike. yes it would kill the R1 or even a motogp bike in a drag race. but put them on a track piloted by an experienced rider the R1 should be able to do better the H2
this would be awesome is the R1's sounded different
I love R1 and Yamaha but this new design is ugly.
Pseudo Mortality I was wondering if I was the only one.
+Pseudo Mortality Ugly as a bag full of smashed crabs, unfortunately. Give me an FZR 1000 any day...........And I own a really nice 1999 R1.
everyone wants a nice looking aesthetically pleasing 17 year old obselete technology.

This shit is unreal
I love everything about this except for the fact the nose looks like the paperclip dude from old microsoft...

Shit you didn't know I'm world wide got dam it 😂
MrAssholebynature1 I just picked myself up a 2005 Yamaha R6, holy hell I'm excited to ride it. This goddamn weather needs to hurry up and roll the fuck out so I can ride without freezing my ass off!

Scott Lincoln Hey you tagged the wrong dude.
Will this come in a Rossi-certified version?
+Robert Cheung Excellent idea! Similar to the 2010 Rossi LE R1
of course not. rossi is Yamaha M1
$25,000.00, do you have to pre-paid speeding tickets & chiropractic fees?
Happy to say i will be picking up my 2016 yamaha r1 this tuesday!:)
So?
Not one part on this bike that looks even a lil bit like any r1 .....didn't know yamaha was so embarrassed about their original design language .
The demo rider in the video almost lost the bike a few times aha
I think hondas motogp 183k bike is a little closer to being a street legal motogp bike :P
the R1M would still win
Revolutionary and a league of its own? You guys did notice the new S1000RR pretty much has everything 'revolutionary' about the R1M as well (and then some), right?
Don't get me wrong, the R1 continues to be the most gorgeous super bike of the lot (has been for over 10 years now) and if I ever decide to get a super sport, it'll be an R1.

Angelo Cusipag BMW has just entered the game...Yamaha has been there for a while. Cant judge street bikes made on those aspects.
God this guy's such a gruesome salesman - I think he hates what a sell-out he is.
And the bike needs a better colour scheme - the old black never fails.
Josh Hayes won 4 AMA Superbike championships in the last 5 years on a Yamaha R1.
Yeh...it's kinda funny. He's talking as if he's ridden a MotoGP bike before...

Always struggled to get excited about Yamaha, but OMG, the R1 and R1M are simply jaw-droppingly-gorgeous!!!
I can't see a justified reason to drop 21k on this and not 16k on the r1
Then the bike isn't for you. This bike is like the ultimate bike for people who want to do track racing. For people like me who don't expect to be on a track any time soon, the R1 will do just fine. It's just as stable, just as fast, and just as comfy, there's just a little less customizability.
hondac55 As a guy who track rides/racing. This is for guys with deep pockets and race teams that's it. It's sad when I go out somewhere and see someone street riding an HP4, I will shed a tear if I see an R1M chilling on the side of a road.
Vox McMuffen I don't think you need a race team to enjoy local track racing at a heightened extent compared to other bikes.
Vox McMuffen Why be sad or shed a tear about that? Other people can do whatever the hell they want to do with what they own.
If I want to buy something crazy technical or expensive and I just want it sitting in my livingroom then that is what I will do.
If someone can't ride for shit but buys a Ducati Superleggera or a Kawasaki H2R because that person has the money, I won't be upset about it at all. It's those people with deep pockets who allow companies to produce cutting edge technology.
***** doesn't mean they are not cunts seb, I'm sure the engineers who made this created it to be in a glass box seb
I've been on my Honda CT 110 (postie bike) for about a month now... I'm looking to upgrade to get something that'll make me look cooler, would a H2R be a good next step? Either that or a Busa I think
YAMAHA RULES
yamaha might aswell put new fairing on the old model for the us market since they only dragrace bikes and think thats racing . they dont need all the new geometrics and parts
Is there YZF-R1M with autopilot?.......... This is just to much
Nice mix of HP4 parts - look + Ducati design - tacho
god bless the nerds that designed this! we are forever in your debt!! freaking love this bike!
hell yeah brother
I want one sooo bad! This superbike must feel planted to the ground when getting that knee down on a hairy turn
You can tune your bike with your cell phone??? That's amazing.
R6 = 10k plus some mods is kickas.s street supersport bike, guys :)
Dont fall for this kind of advertisement. It's built for racetrack :)
WOW,,,,, Japanese went crazy with this bike.... this bike is just a WOW....
I wonder how it will look like 10 yrs from now....
this bike can easily do 300 km/h but the gauge stops at 299 km/h i guarantee 307 or 310 km/h
They should've used Rossi's M1 instead.
Too many settings. I have a hard time deciding which socks to put on in the morning, this bike would drive me crazy.
lmfao but it's worth driving
No way I'm spending 23k on an r1 or 30k for a r1m!!!!!
I love this bike last five years i am collect my all savingmoney to buy this but i dont buy this beacuse i have not sffort it can company help me to give a huge discount i will be very thankfull
In a league of its own???
I think the 2015 S1000RR will still be much faster,
Hurry up, man, let's have a comparison!
Aluminum bolts fuck that! Give me steel or titanium for that price. Anyone who go's to the track, races ect Takes apart their bike on the regular... Those aluminum bolts strip so damn easy with all the thread lock yamaha throws on there. If you don't have a heat gun you better get one and warm up the bolt you want to take off before you do it or you will have a very bad day.
That's the only thing that I find wrong with the M1 lol.
what is the price of the bike
kawasaki 326 hp. .|. fake add stunt yamaha.
the h2r isn't road legal
Good . Does it have a fuel level indicator too?
Say after me al U minium now repeat 100 times next how to use
the front brake on a motorcycle then how to use a car clutch and gear lever
in a manual gearbox equipped car meaning you can drive !!! only joking
vive le difference the r1m i must be getting old this technical tour de force
which as wonderful as it is leaves me cold sorry just a age thing and error
report take to authorised yamaha service center limp home mode fear !!!
but if magic electronics helped michael on his 600 honda do this bring it on

GOOD STATS FOR YOU................................................- 90% of all sportbike sales goes to "squid" riders.......these stupid douchbags give all mature, respectable sportbike riders a bad name- 90% of all sportbike riders will only utlize 30% of the bike's ability- 10% of all sportbikes will ever see a track day- 90% of all sportbikes riders will do the majority of their riding on the streetsI've only ridden sportbikes since my 20s........I'm no squid, I always wear my gear, I've take taken several MSF courses and ride responsibly......and now since I'm getting older, I am seriously considering get a a dual purpose or sport tourer bike. Why? Cause it's more comfortable.I really hate it when people pisses on sportbike riders just because they want a really fast bikeI really hate it when sportbike riders pisses on cruiser riders just because they want to cruiseI just really fucking hate the fact that people want to hate because they don't care or approve of the other's choice in bikeIT'S THIS FUCKING STUPID MENTALITY alot of motorcyclists have for one another that just absolutely makes zero senseWhy can't people just enjoy the ride????
"Sorry but Kawasaki has you beat. Their h2 and h2r are miles ahead of your r1 and rm1"
Gentlemen... I don't base my opinions on emotion like the dude who made this uninformed comment above. The H2 (Curb Weight 524.8 lb) and H2R (Curb Weight 476.5 lb) are significantly heavier bikes than the new R1 (437.8 lb wet)... if you do the calculations, the new R1 has a better or equivalent power - to - weight ratio than both.
On the track? Would be pretty close to an even match - R1 to H2R, and the H2 would be left behind due to being so much portlier supercharger notwithstanding... the R1 will corner and accelerate much more quickly out of the turns, where track racing is won and lost... not on the straightaways. On price the R1 has both beat by a country mile... This confirms what both companies have advertised. The R1 is meant to be as close to Moto GP as legally possible at a relatively affordable price. The H2 and H2R is meant to be equivalent to owning a Bugatti... extremely exotic but only for the uber rich who have money to burn.
I concede the Kawi models are very slick in black, but for everyday riding and street / track the R1 or R1M will win and is much more practical. Any bets on my comments when an actual straight comparison is performed?
titanium rods!?....Magnesium heads!?......2 injectors per cylinder!?!? i bet this thing makes INSANE power
Magnesium Sub-Frame ?, Uh, wouldn't that produce serious sparks if the bike was in a skid ?
Is it just me or is the styling of bikes going downhill? In my opinion, 03-05 Honda, 05-07 Suzuki and 04-05 R1 (Not a fan of R6 styling) were the best models when it came to looks. Of course the bikes are improving in all other areas, but clean lines and slick silhouettes are slowly disappearing.
Yeah, but is it going to be affordable for the common rider. What? You don't think we get enough tickets now with what we ride, that you want to give us a machine that will guarantee more tickets. I would certainly not put out the kind of money you'll be asking for that machines, just to ride it on a track. So tell me what good is all that wonderful stuff if I have to stay within the speed limit. the cops already hate us, and this machine will tempt us to take even more risks. You know, those exhilarating knee dragging, foot peg dragging corners we love to put ourselves to the test on.
I just finished a 212 mi. ride out to Borrego Springs and back, east of San Diego. Now there is a test bed that is worth your adrenaline. That will certainly put that machine to the test..... No, no, no not on a track, on an actual road that the rest of us ride on.
I'm an old fart, cut I still get a thrill out of testing myself on my FJR1300A on those curves !!
I love the r1 I just can't get used to that head light
It probably is, but I cant understand why Yamaha did not clad the R1 with the M1 fairings. I mean the headlights are already mounted under the "fairings" and front indicators are in the mirrors. And then placing/mounting the rear light with the indicators and number plate on a long "stick" that is easily removed for trackday/racing would be so nice for us amateurs as that would mean we would not need to buy racing fairings. And yes a "replica" M1 frame would be nice, but to be fair bodywork of the real M1 would be Epic for mortals like us :D
WOW! Congrats Yamaha
- Hi, I am here to see the all new R1
- Do come in. What do you want to know about it first?
- Does it have a supercharger that breaks the sound barrier?
- No, it does not.
- Thanks, bye.
( No offence I bet it is great piece of kit, but still a refinement of the old bike not a new one. I want to see what are other manufacturers going to come up to rival H2. That will be some spectacular battle.)
Getting ridiculous with gizmos and cost.!! On the road you wouldn't notice much difference from a much older model...
And the older ones look far nicer.
The only competition i see in manufacturers currently, is who can make the ugliest bike.!!!.
A company that finally listened to its customers. I never wanted a japanese bike due to the amount of high revving fucking squids out there but now, fuck it. I am trading in my girlfriend.
I don't have any electronic rider aides on my bike, at all (Duc 848) but there was one feature that mine has. LED turnsignals integrated into the (useless) sidemirrors. Victoria! lol
oh wish i could have 1
Does it look better than the panigale? Probably not...
Would i pick it over the panigale? FUCK YEAH!
R1M is built for handling H2 is built for speed if these bikes are combine Im speechless....
Fantastic technology, but like I have said in the past, we are basically getting to the point where a computer is operating the bike and not the rider. Riders just beginning their racing career are going to learn on these bikes and will never unless by choice learn how to truly race with just sheer bike. And with all new electronics, at some point in time they will fail, just like any component. And what happens when the brains of the bike fails? Does the rider have to forfeit because he can't ride without it? (I am talking riders that would potentially learn on these bikes, and not already experienced riders just starting on them)
well the problem is , i dont see anything of proof , i only see video s that you can start the engine , i see a video with the bike on the bench .....hey but waith 1 st there al yamaha video s and 2 team video s that ride yamaha , i asked around for benchmarks , they where rummors of 220 hp ( okey you got to take that not serieus ) but than with the big show with Rossi and Lorenzo Yamaha s big boss talked about 200 hp , now i dont get to see a dyno result , nothing ..... i saw one ... and i realy hope it s a fake one , it was not bad , but let s just say that kawa , BMW , Ducati , aprillia got absolutely nothing to fear .... i think there a bit in trouble , and that s why you get nothing solid to see
Wonderful product.Yamaha these will sell like "Hot Cakes". Will Aprilia go down the same path with their V4 .We can only hope so.
I would subscribe but the fact that you've got a ton of vids under 5mins some no longer that 2mins makes me think do I really want notifications about as long as a blink. Love this upload though !
and insurance will be twice the outrageous price it is now for a 1000cc bike. idk how people think will want this on the street just asking for hot headed people to wreck and give motorcycle riders a even worse rep. great idea but see bad future for this technology.
I loved the old R1 .... this is ugly... you took 20 steps back in design. The gain in performance is not worth it to be stuck with that look.
great vid, love the Shift Higher In Transit (yamaha acronym) gearbox control system. Like I ever used the clutch up the box!!!
I ride Italian bike but that R1 is gorgeous! Let's wait to see how it performs worldwide in competition. Still think Aprilia, BMW and Ducati will beat the R1M.
TOO HEAVY......!!!!!! 160KG WET WOULD DO AND I WOUDL BUY ONE... BUT 200+KG WET NO WAY I GET ONE....
the line between a motogp bike and any other street bike is like f4om here to the andromeda galaxy buddy stop advertising shit ain't real a motogp bike cost 2 or 3 million dollars to produce
I'm a Ducati Hypermotard SP and Yamaha FZ1-N rider, and I reaaaaally want one of these
More gadgets less driving IMO.... Is this a motorcycle or a new iPhone representation? ;)
ya, but you drop this thing or get hit by a car on the street, and all the bikes aluminum and carbon fiber is fuckin done........
I am gonna sell my iPhone, iPad, Macbook & my bike to get this R1. Hope it has bluetooth & wifi.
bow bow bow ,do do do dow, bow bo bow bow bow, how many frekin eckies do i have to take to watch a motorcycle video!
i m not understanding y they are explorin there techniques...beware of ktm duke n kawasaki .. :p
oh yes before i forget , there is more than hp only , you need it to work , it s got to steer good , but thats what i ment , i see nothing ? for example went to kawa last year , they gave me a bike and said go take some realy fast corners , test the ..... out of it , now that s confidence in you product ....
Does anyone know what racing suit the rider is wearing? I know it's alpine but I want it's specific name. Thanks
Not Make motorcycle big frame but not big motorcycle like a to street regular but body and frame like a motoGp and be motoGp small?
man sooo much information... never knew a bike could have soo much infomration.... my head hurts now...
A rolling supercomputer. No thank you! One wrong bump and there goes a thousand doll hairs.
three words, holy fucking shit, makes me sad to think that i will never see one with my own eyes on the road
Wow the technology on this bike is insane.... Making me really thinking about trading in the 13 R1
Holly mother of bike i just jizz...... But i think R1M is more for tracks then street
compare R1M-s1000rr-H2R !!! im waiting ;]
It's all nice and stuff but damn are bikes getting so freaking expensive now a days!!!
And then Honda turns their RC213V into a street legal motorcycle...
Amazing bike, Only 75 available in the UK and my father in law was lucky enough to purchase one.
As a Ducati enthusiast I am pretty excited about this bike. Quite a package at a fraction of the price of a Panigale R.
