2009 Yamaha R1 (REAL) from Moto GP @ Indy

[audiocable]

u can put a million horsepower on a bike with a shitty frame and aerodynamics, and u can race it against a bike with a 10 horsepower lawnmower and the lawnmower would win

[Bristecom]

It was retardedly crowded in that tent. I hope nobody was hurt when it blew down.

[beasley1987]

i've never liked yamaha cause of them ugly bowed out headlights. but the technology in the k9 does make it tempting though.

[triplex7576]

even the new gsx-r 09 is outperformed by the new r1; 2,5" are it's a giant gap,suzuki did the same mistake of yamaha increasing the bore, doing that it just increase the highest numbers, but it decrease the power delivery in the "usable" range that are the range managed from everyday riders.

and there are many other thing to be said, one of these is that the new r1 09 is the most advanced machine ever done and steps ahead from competitors, it got ride by wire YCC,YCT and so on

[kyberforce]

yea thats why the r1 kicked all the other japs arses in world superbikes speaks for itself so shut the fuck up

[PoLo6NFaNaTIC]

yam ROCKS!!

[britstylez]

yay another gay yamie!!! Wow 600 power everywhere until its at 9000rpm. I bet the ninja and gixxer will still walk all over that bike.

[DYEpaintballnkid]

yea thats the difference between the old ones and the 09 you shit. this one has all around power, its the crossplane, switchin 04 r6 for this day it releases. fuck yes

[britstylez]

oh just like there last two engines were supposed to compete. I thought the adjustable velocity stacks and all their other 'moto gp' trickery was supposed to do that on the last bike!! But it was still slow as shit till 9000rpm.

Oh wow i didnt know the new motor was the "crossplane" that name alone must add 10 hp.LOL. Have fun with your wanna be 1000's yami boys.

[59poppN]

kawa is walking over everything in 600 class 125 hp

[macaajaj]

ur all poofs

[wtzbismarck]

there's no way it has that much power you fucking goof... show me any dyno results from a stock zx6r by any magazine test

you'd probably believe me if i told you the 2010 zx10 is going to have 200rwhp

[PoLo6NFaNaTIC]

Kawasaki and suzuki suxx omg xD Ninja ist biggest crap shit ever seen...

[mushrume]

when is the last time you saw a quacker or a gsxr turd burglar win a moto gp .

you cant even compare a kawasaki to the others. the turd burglar comment about the gsx r was not nessesary and they are a decent bike .

[britstylez]

why dont you go eat some more shrooms jackass!! Im talking about showroom bikes here.Not 100% customized,Half million dollar Moto GP bikes.

[zzytrewq]

Look at mMoto GP and World SBK results. Ducati and Yamaha shit all over the rest.

[britstylez]

LOL!! Now your gonna compare the stock R1 to a moto gp bike to make yourself feel better!!! R1's blow!!Another underpowered yammy.

[zzytrewq]

Read my post again dickwad. I merely said Ducati and Yamaha shit over the rest. Didn't compare a showroom bike to anything.

The success of Ducati and Yamaha over many years of racing has produced more wins than the other brands. I'd prefer to buy a bike from a company that produces winners.

So hop on your BMW or whatever you ride sidesaddle and piss off.

[edwardrobo1]

m8 r1s rule. what do you ride?and this years r1 is betta than anything when it comes to power.still does not compare to an m1,but you cant compare a street bike to a moto

[britstylez]

way to say what i did you twat. Of course you cant fuckin compare a stocker to a moto gp bike. Read what people fuckin write b4 you comment.

[edwardrobo1]

have you ever owned a yamaha?you still havent said what bike you ride,you are full of shit.yamaha consistently win the moto, the stats speak for themselves buddy.........

[britstylez]

I myself have rode for 11 years now. Ive owned everything from 1992 zx11 to a 00 R1 and my last bikes have been an 04 and 06 zx10r. I am a kawaski tech and actually know all the stats. Everything i have said is true about the FACTORY bike. All you guys do is talk about yamahas gp or WSB bike. Those bikes arent anything like what you buy off the showroom. why dont you check on two brothers site to see the 09 R1 dyno numbers and how they are down 9hp to the 08 ZX10R.

chew on that

[triplex7576]

so you think the best performer is the most powerfull bike? i think you never rode a litre bike to said this! even a master is not able to use the full power of these bikes!give a look at mcn round up of 2009 bikes, r1 2009 wins with over one second up to zx10! the best bike is the one able to put down more power not the ones with more at the crank, and the new moter it's able to do that and more with it's flat delivery, it runs out from the corner as a rocket, nothing a zx10 could do

[britstylez]

Are you fucked??? All my messages are about the R1's lack of midrange.They dont make power till 9000rpm. You ride them more like a wild 600 than a litre bike. I have ridden these bikes back to back and thats how to really tell.And as far as mcn they are on yamaha's pay roll. They always pick yamaha even last years shit model. Go to any other test and yamaha is dead last. I prefer to believe what i see and experience myself,not what some journalist tells me. All you just say the same crap.

[piwright42]

From what I saw, last year MCN had the Fireblade as the liter bike to beat in 08. Yamaha's improvement in usable horses throughout the power band is what clinched them to chose of the R1 for the liter class this year.

[adrianrubi]

britstylez is right. MCN is biased, they'll say anything when the price is right. as fort he two brothers site, you'll see objective dyno readings there and same for the akrapovic website. you'll see the zx10r put out more hp from the rear wheels vs the r1. r1 has the least power of all the jap bikes if in stock form. the crossplane crankshaft only improved power delivery and did not make it more powerful than the other jap bikes.

r1 only has the best sound of all.

[4rmnoho]

it's about time Yamaha Changed the R1 looKs Cause i was getting bored of the same looks....well this year R1 loOk's Mean Ha KooL bikE i likE iT....buT still R6 person hA i Love the nEw ones thEre Tight but might get the 06 one still in january....

[LokiDWolf]

I love it. I have the 2007 R1 and will be trading it for this one. A shorter wheelbase makes it more nimble and the freakin' engine will be killer! I'm not a fan of the pipes but I don't complain about it. I'll just wait for aftermarket ones. DUH. I just hope it doesn't have a lag problem like the previous models.

[TheresHellToPay]

I Heard They were rated last out of all the new 09 supersport bikes. I Think it went the cbr, then zx10r then gixer, then r1. im a kawasaki boy but in my oppinion i think the r1's and the new cbr are just radical lookin

[PeterTroob]

i hate the front light and the huge exhuast!!

[XXXxrodrigoxXXX]

Those r 2 things that I fking Love about This Bike!

[EternallyRonin]

Hideous exahusts, looks like a B-King. Also, the rear is too short... I liked the previous one better, this looks like a cross between an 06 R1 and a Street Fighter bike.

[dragula1973]

I like the big ass shift light!

[shckar]

me too

[5treethawk]

i need to see this bike with proper rear cans. because the pictures look hideous!

anyone know when we can actually buy this bike!

[LokiDWolf]

January, 2009.

[YOBRO79]

just got back from oz gp at philip island and they had the black model on display and it looks sweet!!

[hirodoohan]

Some know if...is really true it cranks 180 hp?!

[hoosyerdaddie]

Probably about that, maybe 165 at the wheel.

[StefanR0]

Official 182 (probably at the crank) but WITHOUT ram-effect.

BTW, in a test the previous R1 was the only bike out of ALL other manufacturers that has reached the named power-boost from the ram!

Not only that, it was still better than the numbers!

[gggromay]

looks great and it probably goes great too, but i also dont like the tail pipes, their to big, they dont seem right for a sport bike, more like one of those big enduro, but i guess if you change them it will look awesome

[REDO5R1]

I personally like the headlights becouse there different.. the only thing i dont like is the big pipes at the back.

[S1LV3RST0NE]

FUCKING UGLY ASS HEADLIGHTS!

[madbradwilson]

your mom has ugly assed headlights!

[Maxmaj1q]

OWNED

[Deesboy08]

09 R1 looks great....such a sweet looking bike and in black it looks even better!!!

[BlaCcKjAcCK]

damn...this R1 is awesome.arrrr

[mattyoz0]

I know i had the 04 new now i want the 09!
