I've been using a 23 R1 since Feb 24, just touched 6000 miles , put heli bar riser on, ride all day no worries, its just Fun, I know it makes no sense on the road, but whi cares, it's hilarious.
I'd love to try one with risers!
I just bought a 2024 R1(Black-Raven), it makes absolutely no sense on normal roads, stupid fast and looks like a stealth fighter, I love it.
Imagine riding an R1 in southeast Asia like the Philippines where the average speed on the highway is 50mph on a good day. I know guys with an R1 (XSR 900 myself) and it just feels wild blowing by thousands of people on scooters.
I know they're probably too much for the roads these days but i'm really sad to watch the demise of 1000cc superbikes(not that i'd ever be able to afford one new). I'm just happy there'll be a steady supply of used examples but I do worry for the used prices if they don't eventually make a return. Pretty much every day I regret selling my RSV4 RF.
I guess people voted with their wallets and didn't buy. We can't really complain if people didn't want them. But, I will miss their lunacy.
Ummm, liter bikes in general aren’t going anywhere…. The doom-and-gloom is a bit oversold.
What ? Are you talking in Europe ? Here in the USA nothing has changed with regards to liter bikes. All that changes is them getting further and further north of 200 hp
Always gonae be fast boys
@@SongJLikes well said
I've had my '99 R1 since '03.
Still rips my arms off.
Excellent!
25 years later. Japanese reliability.
@sharathvasudev I'm an old git so I put a new top yoke and Renthal Superbike bars on.
It has transformed the bike. It's absolutely brilliant now I recommend this to anyone over the age of 30 😁
I think that laugh at the beginning sums the video
Wouldn't sell mine for anything. Unique and superb piece of engineering.
She's a keeper!
Same
Love the R1, it's a monster! That being said, because I'm a two stroke guy I'd choose an R6 for it's high r.p.m power band. Rode all kinds of bikes, never could get used to the low end, mid range torque of the big inline four strokes. It's just what I'm accustomed to, keeping the revs above 6,000.
Sadly I've never managed to ride a two-stroke!
Yeah...the R1 is all business, watching this I miss my old 2004 20valve R1 😢 used to be so comfy on the highway, but a real bastard in traffic (palms, arms and back 😢)
Yep, sounds familiar. My back is still protesting weeks later!
An absolute monster. Thanks for showing us the experience lol
Cracking real world review of the r1, good job fella welldone.
Thanks Damien!
I have the 23 R1 replaced every oem panel for fullsix carbon fiber as well as many other mods, tail tidy, carbon seat cowel, passenger fotrest removal, titanium akrapovic full system with sprint filter and ecu flash tune etc and i will never sell this bike. It looks unbelievable and rides amazingly smooth and responsive.
i had one of the first original ones loved it & again in 2016 for a sports bike i thought they are comfy, its a sham there going to be discontinued. if i was looking for a new bike, one of these or bmw came across my path i would have to have both. your laugh all the way though thumbs up. in years to come ..
17:30 That laugh reminded me of the *Let Me She/Them* Mario laugh! 😆
Such a wonderful sound ❤❤❤ the bikes not got a bad note either!
Haha!
Bought a MT-07 as first bike after getting my license a few years back. Then a couple of months after that my buddy went to Japan and was selling his R1M so i bought it for a resonable price. That thing scared the sh!t out of me to the point where i sold it off after just 2 months. Made a £2k profit and went back to MT-07. Now have an MT-09 and an Aprilia RS 660. But yeah, 1000cc were too much too soon and i will probably not get one ever again. Bloody hell, i would have died on that thing.
Probably a sensible choice tbh. Even I rode like a bit of a wally on this R1 and I've been riding over 25 years! RS660 is ace.
Madness. Love it
Amen!
I rode my mates Kwak H2 Supercharged with the limiter off with a Akrapovic Exhaust ,it's completely insane ,I got to 170 mph and my arse went he's had it to 205 mph on a runway of course ,tbh the throttle is in my opinion dangerous zero to full throttle is under 2 inch wind on if you slip just slightly its gone ,you need tons of practice and miles on the clock to even try to get used to it and to feel confident, looks fabulous but not for me ,in the wrong hands all these super sport bikes are lethal and for me not enjoyable, I will stick to my 1973 Z1B 900 wich i have owned since 1978 for me the most beautiful sport tourer ever made and still flies no technology only a steering damper and she draws a crowd everywhere i go but i do like the new retro version of it
That is n awesome bike n lovely sounds too but the price of em qulp qulp but then no performance cars can touch u 😂😂😂
It seems the entire issue of "feel" with Yamaha sportsbike brakes relates to the extra plumbing used for ABS. Then except for the "feel" part it seems like they do actually work acceptably well....but I have never heard it explained how other brands/models manage to have both ABS and reportedly stellar brake feel and performance? WHAT is Yamaha missing in the equation?
Great comment. I do think the choice of brake pads is also a big contributor.
Faster than a bag of fast things!
For only being 5 foot 8 n u r on tip toes that is not bad really u will never have chance for even tip toes on most trail bikes nice reviews if u r not used to going on sports bikes then the riding position is not going to b comfortable especially for longer rides harder for wrist n forearms n neck ive always riding super sports bikes n know I'm thinking of going for sports tourer like the Kawasaki sx. ✌
KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL (some how ) !!!
Not possible!
Everyone needs to protest against the politicians making these laws against motorcycles and stop these damn laws thier not helping the people of uk and the United States take care and stay safe Dan
They'll just make protest illegal. It's how it is over here. Us Brits seem to have a very long fuse, but when we've had enough it'll go off!
I owned a 2008 model R1. The same model Nick Sanders toured the world on and I was inspired by him so decided to tour the UK on mine. 2 weeks and nearly 4000 miles later turns out I'm not Nick Sanders and an R1 is not a good bike to tour on. 😢
I still miss me old gixer k3 had it for 13 years even in 2003 very fast I had old zx10 1988 streetfightered no fairing that still did 160 mph with me head on the tank was a bit scary 😁👍🤔🤣
sensiible, yes we believe you
Would I lie to you......? :D
Shred my licence now I’ve bought an R1, only joking this bike is amazing. Ps I’d love to own one.
Haha, the R1 will shred your license for you!
Would have been good for you to ride the original r1 in comparison
The last year of R1's in UK?. To be honest their popularity has been dying for a few years.
Sad times, but times change!
UK just doesn’t have the roads for litre bikes. You need to ride in Italy, Spain or SE Australia to really get into it … 🎉
More "ooos, ahhhs and ughs" than the average pr0n movie (or so a friend tells me). Smooth engine?
R1 brings the p0rn!
Still a few being advertised new about £18k still way cheaper than V4 Panigale
Love the laugh as you accelerate on the bike.
Can you do a ZX10R comparison please?
Sadly not. I can't get any Kwaks.
@@EnglishbikerdanI was wondering why you didn't have any videos of them, that's a shame I'd have loved to see you review their bikes.
Me too, sadly Kwak UK don't want to deal with me yet.
9:18 I am just gonna open up a little bit. In R1 language it means WARP MODE :D
Haha, yep! Bike had other ideas! :D
Ahhh you should’ve ridden it in b mode and you would’ve enjoyed it even moreee
Tried all modes, A mode was my fave.
Ed sounds like a legend. I bet he is handsome and fast.
Hi Ed!
Good video. Sounds odd but if your body needs a rest on a sports bike you need to open the throttle.
Yamaha ORIGINAL ❤ yes ICON🎉😻
Still the best looking sportsbike imo
Agreed@
Best sounding too
Unadulterated joy 🤩
UK and Europe…
Mate. Even though the UK left the EU you are still a part of Europe. It’s in the continents name… Europe.
Thanks for the up. It certainly is a cool bike
You mean the UK didn't float off and create it's own continent? Damn.
@@Englishbikerdan 🤣
Thanks for the up Dan.
I’ll have to eat my own words about not buying another Yamaha. That bike is Very very tempting! And it might just make this fifty three year old feel a bit younger ☺️
I love any bike that represents unnecessary lunacy. Bye bye R1
Damn straight!
I am on my second purchase of a 2019 R1m because the previous owner had upgraded to brembo gp4-rx and a corsa corta master with abs delete as well as a whole host of upgrades like ohlins steering damper, gilles rear sets, ima clip ons, carbon air intake , ima air filter and so on etc. The reason why i went back to the R1m is because it is reliable and an awesome and exciting superbike if ridden hard. I had the 2020 bmw s1000rr-m which was bland and boring and i found it hard work to get the most out of it at the higher speed (180+) because it would make me tired of trying to ring the neck out of it. The 2022 rsv4 factory was a step above the R1m and R1 in terms of power and torque and i could feel it in the way the bike would wheelie on slight lumps in the road surface when i wound the throttle back 90 ish % but my 2022 rsv4 factory had a coolant leak (at 1000 miles give or take a few) which was fixed after about 6 weeks and eventually led to a complete engine failure about 1000 miles after- which was replaced under warranty, after i got the bike back after a complete engine change, it then had an oil leak after less than 50 miles after i picked the bike up so i handed it back to the dealership. The yamaha R1 and R1m is the bike to have if your looking to have the kind of fun without a pilots licence and access to a jet plane but want the reliability of 100,000 miles of reliability with the regular service intervals and minor part replacements. It is insane how this bike performs if you can ride it to its full potential and the little bit of power that i wish it had at the top end is something that i will live with compared to its euro rivals lack of reliability.
try MT 10 flashed and exhaust on it
Ridden the SP, still fun but missing that top end.
your own TT
The reason why superbikes r disappearing is because people arnt buying them , if u don't want em ta disappear, whip ur wallet out , and why do people worry that their feet arnt flat on the ground, u don't have ur feet on the ground when u ride , u shouldn't ride a bike if u can't at standstill tippy-toe with 1 foot an the deck
R1👑👑👑
the euro regulations are such an ass
That they are.
Very similar to my FS1E from the 1970’s 🤥
Would of liked to see it on the back wheel, but then again I don't think you have the skills, BMW. RR for me
I do the occasional wheelie, but I've never perfected the clutch up since doing the wheelie school a few years ago. Simply, the law here will throw the book at you if you are caught wheelieing. So I've not really spent the time doing it more. RR is great, but I think it lacks a bit of character.
The R1 is ok I have had 2 but frankly my hayabusa gen1,2 and 3 are far better as was my GSXR1000
Better in what way?
Yammie thumbnail
Who?
I sat on a new R1. Not for me. Death is coming but not with this bike
BMW 1000 costs the same
I think I would get bmw
Nice, also a good bike!
Opening up an R1 on a narrow country lane……………really.
Really really.
You should support yourself with your core rather than your arms. No need to have weight on the clip ons.
I hear you, but in reality, unless you are a Terminator you will feel it on your wrists with the 20/30mph roads we have. I dare anyone to come out on my test route and feel fresh at the end on one of these bikes!

If we can speed in uk roads why selling a bike like that...??? To ride 70 MPH...??? German Autoban is the best example how to do the things right ! Not like GREEDY Vision Zero/ police uk company looking for money. Buy a ebay folding license plate and ignore the uk speed limits ridiculous law
I'd never have a flip up plate. Just ride on the roads that aren't covered by cameras. :D
Brother, get real, and get u on a proper road, not some crap lane...it's. a road 🏍 bike.....super quick.....
Unless the road is Road America, it won't matter bro!
Pfft! a well ridden Harley bagger will easily best that....
🤪
It's all about the rider really, I am very average.
'Consciously trying to make an effort' is grammatical blasphemy.😆
I like to try to make an effort. Although sometimes I decisively decide to try not to make any effort.
orgasm count: 69
Amazing bike!
Haha, ooer!
Ur afraid of it....ok I C
Well of course, you have to respect this thing!
I'm looking at buying one. Install some bar risers and just use it occasionally. Pointless for the road I know. But it's better looking than the MT10..
Can see them holding value well.
Better looking than the MT10: that's not difficult lol.
Not a bad shout!
Beautiful sunny day, lovely green UK countryside and an amazing bike. What's not to love !
Superb review! That laughter of yours whenever you open the tabs! All the money! 😂
Your roads are nuts bro. Surprises around every corner. Hell, there are surprises on the straights!
Looks fun but isn't it dangerous riding on roads like that?
They can be for sure. But also exhilarating!
Needs to come riding in the mountains and plains of SE Australia, where we have some of the best, most remote motorcycling roads on the planet …
@@ma3stro681 no thanks lol
Mate I cannot wait. It's literally my dream to ride in Australia!
What a noise that CP4 makes. Probably one of the only bikes (R1, MT-10) I’d buy just for the engine.
Hurry up Tracer 10!
Bonkers for us Tracer 9 GT riders!
But looking forward to seeing the rumoured R9 to replace it as the main road bike.
I cannot wait. After riding the XSR900GP I think the R9 is going to be special.
That exhaust is criminal how much it is muffling the engine sound!
For sure, can imagine how hard they are limiting to stay under us sound level and eu emissions.
It's damn loud enough as is.
No doubt, need an Akra for sure
Hey Dan, 1st time l rode a R1, l think l had a similar giggle....
I rode one on suburban roads only with a 50mph/80kph speed limit, and nowhere near redline, so no real need to change gear, but l did, just to feel what the change was like.
I rode one for the first time on Monday and was fortunate enough for that experience to take place on a track. The sound and torque were amazing!
They are something aren't they?!
Our roads arent suited too many pot holes/gravel etc, you need a track and then smile with joy 😊
It was the 1992 Honda Fireblade that changed the game. It re-wrote the rule book. Before it we had rf900's, gpz1000's Z1000's etc.
RF came out after the blade
I had a test ride of one of these many years ago. Was terrifying when trying to rev it out. Gorgeous engineering but appropriate for the track not road imo. Rode a honda blackbird when they came out and that too was terrifying when trying to meet max revs in 3rd. I remember thinking my brain can’t keep up. The TT guys ride them flat out in 6th😮
Great video Dan, gave me a laugh too 😂. My neck and wrists wouldn't consider letting me ride one now but great looking machine 😍
Brilliant bike your laughing and review of the bike superb thank you dan
If I had the money I’d probably upgrade from my ‘98 Think I paid $9800 new. 😅And had to call 21 dealers just to find one. Great review mate👌🏻
Not a bike for me, but I would - almost happily - soil myself on a test ride on one of those.... It looks mean, it sounds mean, and it knows how to react when you twist the throttle. I envy your test ride on it. 👍⭐👍
I did soil myself. It wasn't poo though.
Out of the EU but still following EU laws and regs?
Some laws and regs, not others. I don't fully understand why tbh.
These sort of bikes are too fast for the roads here in the UK they are ridiculously fast
They are mad, but fun!
I absolutely love it ❤
What a machine. Great review Dan 👏 😊
Fookin awesome 🙌
Incredible bikes but bye bye licence, unfortunately if you have the power you cant help but twist the throttle!! . Up North you may be ok but you will get nicked in many parts down south. Stick to track days if you feel the need for speed.
Back in the day I had the opportunity to ride a 1980 Suzuki GS1000, and I absolutely loved everything about it. The problem was that open throttle would launch me immediately into super-legal speed, and with the number of points I had my license, one more ticket and I was going to be walking. Many years later I had the opportunity to ride a mid '90's Suzuki RF900R, and it was dramatically faster. I can't imagine what a current liter class superbike would feel like.
Absolutely, I failed it keeping it sensible!
Initially I didn't liked the design but later I've started to like it. Still the earlier model lookes too good 👌 😍💖
love it dan!!! sweet bike /sound
I didnt change a lot of bikes. Back in the day i went from owning thedual purpose Yamaha DT175 2 stroke to 7mths later , having had a chance to experience one ride on the Rd350lc on ride on the honda 750 Interceptor and before those Suzuki 550 and a handful of rides on the 69hp Suzuki gs750es....i graduated to the original 102hp Yamaha FJ 1100! Bike of the Year. My goal was actually a brand new Yamaha FZ750 but i decided the cost was a burden to my finances. Years later the 86Suzuki GSX1000R was my final blaze of techovelocity. Bike of the Year. Dunno if im ever getting back to those pinicales
Bring back the Thunder ace.
The Barge!
I’ve owned and driven some incredible cars, but nothing compares to a 1000cc superbike, I had big ZZRs and BMW 1000cc they fry and scramble your brain. The mid range is just bewildering.
They really do force you to adjust your perception of fast don't they!?
Brilliant piece of kit, bur probably not suited to my 64 year old body and the back roads of Northumberland but it sounds awesome.
I struggled and I'm a bit younger!
literally unusable ...hot slow under 7-8k, can only use 2 gears, uncomfortable unenjoyable in city. go trackn or moto school no wonder no one actually bought
@@maomekat2369 Still absolutely brilliant fun though.
R1 enough said.
Say no more!
Former motorcycle salesman here, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve ridden almost everything. And I’m going to tell you a secret: If you’re riding on the street, the 600’s are the most fun.
I’ve only ever had 600s since passing obtaining my full license, and I can safely say my 07 ZX6R is certainly fast enough! God knows how 200bhp feels like
The trouble is and as wonderfully engineered the R1 is,you know you can kiss goodbye to your license or worse on our British rods! And where is the fun in that?
I daily an 09 R1, beat the crap out of it. Only crashed twice in 2 years 🤣🤣🤣
I’d love one but a little expensive at the moment for a 24 plate.
Thr R1 is good but the euro superbikes are just better in every aspect
I had the pleasure of riding one of these. The main thing is you need to go to the gym to train your left foot to be fast enough to change up the gears. RIPPER
And your right hand will power!
Such a long, strong pull in 1st, it’s insane. Up to 160kmh! Mind blowing … 🎉
Yeah it's so daft but fun!
Im new to motorbikes (passed my tests for full licence back end of March). Currently have a BMW 850GS, which is 94 BHP...cant imagine the power of something that is 200 BHP...hope I get to experience one day, although it would feel intimidating
Real world is disappearing fast
i know how pokey my 750 is, and can still get an omg moment, so don't think i'll ever need or buy one like this myself, but still, what a machine !!
Yeah these are mental, but fun!
looks like a blast
I wish I could afford one, hell i wish I could afford any bike 😂😂😂
Get a used 250 and drive the nuts off it. You can do it!
Start small, even 125cc's are great fun!
