  • @SpeedfreaksNet there was a base model, a blueprint if you will, that both bikes came from. im not saying i can buy an R1 and a few months later with a few mods make it an M1, but there are similar components and ideas that both bikes came from. and you shouldnt have said the M1 is 800CC cuz its not anymore! back to liter bikes

  • Great riding, now I see what it takes to do a 1:40 lap at Eastern Creek.

  • I am by no means an expert and merely relaying what I have been told by many buddies who do track... It depends on the track as to who wins between a Busa and a R1. If it is a tight track with a lit of corners the R1 takes it in maneuverability, but if the track has more open straight aways the Busa takes it.

    My buddies state they catch-up some in the corners on their R1s, but once they hit the straights the Busas pull away.

    Again... I am no expert.

  • This video is part of the reason why I bought one. Add 2 Bro's cans and she's a freak'n fast bike to ride.

  • thats one quick arse lap around the creek...That would put the gay arse supercars to shame..Stick that in ya pipe and smoke it lowndesy you fagat

  • I agree with my neighbour now, On board, the new R1 does sound a little like the M1 GP bikes, He owns one, and he says it does, so now I agree

  • BEST BIKE EVER BUILD.

  • how the hell did he not loose it at 1:32? Downshifting mid corner at such high rpm. Wow, ballsy. Is it just me or does the 09 r1 seem twitchy as hell? Maybe its just the suspension set-up, or the way he brakes but the ass end is sliding all over the place.

  • @Assjanitor2 slipper clutch dude

  • The new Boxer engine suits the bike as it seems to have found a lot more grunt (see Ben Spies in WSBK) Unfortunately, im not a fan of its new sound :-(

  • Well apparently, the new engine is a boxer style engine with a cross plane crank shaft (whatever that means) like on Valentino Rossi's Motogp bike

  • yeh it does have a cross plane crank shaft but its not a boxer engine. a boxer engine is like what's found in a subaru impreza or the bmw r1150 gs. the pistons in a boxer engine move in opposite directions as opposed to the r1's inline motion

  • jesus!!!! where the hell nd hu the hell told u that its a boxer engine? its an inline four...with a different crank agle..LOL!!!

  • Oh and for the record, a stock Busa is a Hyperbike, an R1, Superbike. Now look up the definitions - Hyperbikes are TOP SPEED...therefore HEAVY to stay STABLE at high speed. Not meant for handling.

    Superbikes are ALL about the track. Can't take bumps well, get a bit twitchy at high speed, but will cause internal bleeding from the G's in the corners.

    and for the cc's bullshit - if displacement meant winning, then all of you should fear every harley-davidson made for how "FAST" it must be...:-P

  • pretty sure they arent twitchy at high speeds. and they take bumps as well as you set up the suspension. wheelbase has to deal with stability and the longer wheelbase(busa, zx-14, have a longer wheelbase, weight doesnt have as much to do with stability as wheelbase does) if they were twitchy you think rossi would ride a yamaha M1 to 200+mph?

    for any idiot here yes its an M1, not an R1. anyway point is everything changes with the setup not just whats stock

  • could be that rossi just kicks ass

  • given that they're setup for corners, not straights, Yes I think he woudl ride it even if it were twitchy.

  • @synkronyk twitchy is really only a problem in a corner where a slight bit of throttle will whip you off

    they may ride it it while it tries flicking them off throughout every corner but they wont do their best laps like that

  • @jhardy66617 you cant really compare rossi's m1 to an 09 r1 tho can you. its a prototype costing millions compared to a production road bike worth about 12 grand! the only thing that's the same is the engine layout!

  • theyre the same layout as far as a bike as a whole

    the degree of rake could be different and could have a slightly shorter swing arm but as a whole theyarent that far off. it only cost millions of dollars because of the research behind the production. you could take the research they have done and just buy the parts. it wont be set up perfectly for you but youll have pretty close to a rossi bike for much less then millions. ive sat on the suzuki gp bikes and to be continued

  • @jhardy66617 sorry but are you under the impression that a motogp m1 bike is just a modified r1? because its not. every component is completely different and made as a one off. cal crutchlow and rossi have said the r1 is like an armchair compared to a motogp bike. its a different animal all together!

  • Respond to this video... compared to a normal street suzuki theyre quite similar, a little lower bars and no real seat just the foam pad crap

    they feel quite the same, theyre isnt a crazy carbon fiber piece anywhere that you couldnt just put on a street bike

    take an R1 get the best performance parts and someone to tweak the ecu settings and such and youll have a very powerful bike capable of racing. just remember to screw the whole emissions thing :D

  • Wow...ok...so for my .02. I, like many here, have an erection standing proud for the 09 R1. If I had more experience and a TRACK to ride it on, I'd go for one. (Yes, I said Experience. If I go for a bike like that, I want to be able to use it to its FULL potential, which DOES need more than the ability to feather the slipper clutch and pop wheelies for titties at the bar)

    Otherwise, between the Insurance and the fuzz attention on it, it seems a bit useless for the american street, honestly.

  • New R1 pwnz! Poor gixxers =(

  • Amatures.

  • hey einstein!! u forgot ur medicine!! i might die today or later...bcoz of the sun u will melt...nd wow its jz a dream ... lets eat im hungry!!LOL!!!

  • yes mate on a Playstation the busa might beat the R1 .......

  • This is why i love youtube, stupid cock monster saying a busa will beat an r1 on track because of downforce. The scary thing is the retard seems to have a shred of intelligence but obviously knows fuck all about bikes. You are a shit cunt, an r6 will rape a busa on 99% of race tracks. The busa is a fuckin tank. They dont handle at all and fuckin suck on track. And yes ive been on one

  • what a bullshit...a busa can't beat an r1 but can do it with an r6...1300 vs 600...

  • on the track and not straight away right?

  • kcole939 u talk shit id like to see a busa beat a r1 around the track.. nufin is meant to be fair ur talkin bout fairings n fuel n shit each are designed to go hard 4 there own purposes.

  • it got monster torque and pull out of the corner just unbelievable. you could not compare such a motor with a normal inline 4 numbers, cause it puts down every bit of power it got. i've got r1 05, r1 07, cbr 08, 1098, and that's a fucking toque monster compared to the rest, ducati included.nothing i can explain using word. you must ride one before speaking ... this bike is incredible. naturally i'm speaking about euro version not about the underpowered usa one.

  • ahahah,kcole939 stop make me laughing,ahahahha, none of liter bike got more than 165hp at the wheel, gsx-r 09 is down on power than the previous year bike... it's a joke bike. r1 2009 is the biggest revolution in bike world, who thinks different has never tried one and never will do... this bike is completely different from the rest.you can't judge the real number of this motor by listening at dyno numbers, the way it pull is fucking supreme,it seems to have 20hp more down low.

  • This bike has become a running joke among my rider buddies that know anything about engines, the new R1 is not much special in terms of power or torque numbers, weight numbers, handling, or much else, it's just another liter bike moving slightly further into the direction of squidville, that's the only people I hear about wanting these things. I don't see any real riders looking to buy a new R1, sales are driven by under talented, over ego driven, money spending squids. What a world we live in.

  • I would never buy one. Ill stick with 03-06.

  • and who the fuck are you to judge that? Why does a bike become a running joke among you idiots, while anyone else, especially motorcycle-lierature, considers it to be among the best, despite the Fireblade, which tops any other bike only because of its ABS?

    Since you find it funny that it is "not much special", tell me: are the other bikes special? Fireblade (despite its ABS), ZX10-R, GSX-R 1000 and so on?

  • Nah man, liter bikes, super sports, etc. have become garbage for public roads in the last 10 or so years, they handle like shit on anything less than racetrack conditions, they make shit for power unless your wringing it's neck at top rev's, almost anyone without a backround in racing is garuntee'd a big fat lowside learning the limit of it, and overall they are not much better than sportbikes 10+ years ago. There really is nothing new with these bikes, just improved equipment from last year.

  • And btw, the best at what? Killing squids? Getting tickets? Being the most worthless street ridden bike of all time? If your not breaking laws then your not letting it loose for your moneys worth and I (and everyone else) are better off with these things being "track only" right out of the box, it would sure encourage the right riders to do the right things with the right bikes. The culter around sportbikes 15 years ago was much diffrent than the pussy rider "latest and greatest" crowd of today.

  • You sound so very very jealous.

    The 2009 R1 stock can beat anything you throw at it.

    I would know, I have raced these "real riders" you speak of, and I have beaten them ALL.

    On the track, AND the Strip.

    Your blathering just shows your ignorance to us "real riders."

    You are no rider, you sound more like a R.U.B.

    A Rich Urban Biker.

    Sqidville? im guessing your the village idiot?

    I personally dont think you even own a bike toctuning.

  • StoneShoulderz, wow, I mean wow, your the exact d-bag a-hole I am talking about, I give it a few months and within that time your bike will be covered in scratches and all messed up, you will owe a hospitol bill and your bike will be another wanna-be 'fighter.

    And if your a "real rider" I can't understand why you would even consider stepping onto a liter bike with only a helmet, your a delusional retard. Beat ALL of them, who? Are you on crack? It sure seems like it. Go wad up your bike.

  • I lol'd the entire time I read your comment.

    Your the one who started this mess about "real riders" and squids. I simply stated the obvious about you,

    What do you think I meant by "ALL" of them, i meant the other brands other than Yamaha.

    Do i gotta spell it all out for you?

    You think im a "delusional retard on crack?" I cant even fathom your stupidity right now.

    Your obviously very young, with the name calling and all, grow up.

    Look up the MCN R1 reviews. the 09 R1 owned ALL BIKES.

    nuf said.

  • Spewing factory claims, making assumptions about me, and generally acting the part of the ignorant fool is all your doing. Hooray for you and any other idiot that buys into the hype of "this years model is so much better" crap. I don't really give a shit and all the squids like you posting about how awsome the new R1 is, it's so revolotionary, blah blah blah, it's all a bunch of noise. You have probably never even ridden a Yamaha RZ350, a REAL BIKE. The crossplane firing order is not new btw.

  • I'm sure this arguement stems from the fact your pussy is all sandy from spending 13k to get a bike a smidge faster than last year. Pick any liter bike, put some work in, spend a few bucks, and you can have a track bike that eats the R1 for breakfast. Stock vs stock tests are a joke as well as the riders that buy into them and think they are getting so much more for 10+k this year than last. I highly doubt your world class riding material, your not using 100% of the bike, you got ripped off.

  • Hey everybody! its Mr. All-knowing toctung!

    Factory claims? ignorant fool?

    I guess I was right, you are a child.

    Everything that you just said is incorrect. EVERYTHING. How are these tests a joke?

    World class riding material? wtf is that? explain?

    13k? I spent $10.5k

    Argument? who said I was arguing? Im stating facts.

    You, on the other hand, are flying off the handle trying to prove yourself to people who are laughing at you.

    Take your empty remarks elsewhere.

    Im done with you, bye bye.

  • nice driving

  • get the 300km/h!!! or you are scary?

  • r1 2009 got the best liter bike accelleration from a dead stop or running from higher gears!

  • no i am not dreaming .

    i do have a d16 . and it does hammer down.

    it has ball tearing acceleration and handles like nothing i have ever ridden.

    i am a yama fan though. the r6 is what i drive on a regular basis. iam glad it has no electronics on it. raw is more fun.

    i was looking at buying the new 09 r1 . did you test ride the other liter bikes to compare . i have ridden the 08 r1 and it was ok but overheated when it got real hot . are there the same probs with the 09 . 100 or so F ??

  • but if you compare the bike back to back you could see that beside the less power it still keeps walking ahead from the more powerfull bike!

  • gayrabbit on the highway you prefer a

    longer stroke like gixxer? it produces more power down so completely useless on the highway if ever this bikes were made to run on the highway!

    this type of engine setup produces lot of power down manteining the usual inline four rush.but if you run it on a dyno you couldn't see the real word performance of this bike, cause it lacks composite torque reading advantage of a common engine.

  • it sounds exactly as rossi's bike with an akra setup, I could confirm this cause I got an euro r1 09 (not a restricted usa ones) and i usually go watching gp when they run at mugello.

    so stop talking shit if you know nothing!

  • djafterburner

    have you evere heard that in GP yamaha use a crossplane 800cc motor?

    years ago there were also screamers...

    do you think yet there are only V4?

    ;)

  • what better 08 or 09 because i like 08 it looks nicer but i dunno what u guys think

  • hear the sound of the new one.. and u get high like from drogs

  • 08 looks and sounds better

  • 2 words: Crossplane crankshaft.

  • Shedhead40, I expected you to remove your comment "fuck off you tit" Nice one, dude. Commenting me over stuff that was mentioned a month ago, which originally happened 2 months ago. You're real mature.

  • lol downshift in mid corner

    sweet

  • it couldnt sound like moto gp because the moto gps are 800ccm an 4 zylinder V - Motors ! redline near 18k/tours

  • the new short stroke motors rock but on the highway prefer a longer stroke

  • OMG! That sound is just like MotoGP lol

  • Sounds like a F1 car... it's awesome

  • HOW the fuck is that bike decelerating so hard at such extreme angles of lean.. and not killing him.. WANT... or at least want those tires 0.0

  • Btw, that type of downforce is commonly referred to as aerodynamic grips, there's several types of downforce.

  • God damn, I love Suzuki's, but the R1 is getting more and more advanced every year, soon it'll be embarassing 'Busas. =/

  • it already embarasses them??

  • No actually it doesn't, have you ever been on a Yamaha R1 at it's top speed, 186 mph? They aren't built to be stable at speeds like that, the rear end is too light, and they have sucky aerodynamics. The rear end literally bounces around above 150.

  • How fucking shit are you dude - LOL - perhaps you should provide that feedback to the engineers at Yamaha, I'm sure they'll take that on board. What a tool.

  • Have you ever even riden a bike? I've topped out an R1, and let me tell you it's honestly fucking scary. They need more weight in the back, maybe a heavier swing arm. The whole rear wobbles, and you expect to just crash. Since you obviously don't understand, go top out a Busa, then an R1. A Busa feels like it's only doing 100, at well over 200.

  • have you ever taken a busa around a track??? it may be more stable at high speed just due to its weight but you have to man handle it to get it to turn into a corner. But if you're just a retarded street killer, the 1300 should be your weapon.

    "heavier swingarm".....lol

  • Busa'a weigh about 60 pounds more than an R1, it's not even noticeable at low speeds. Do you honestly know anything? The Busa is more stable because of it's aerodynamics mostly. The weight helps a little. Yeah a "heavier swingarm" an extra 10 or even 5 pounds holding the rear wheel down, would help considerably.

  • You must be kidding me... have you seen the new swing arm on the MotoGP Ducatis??? CARBON FIBRE!!!! Do you even know anything about bikes and suspension in general?? unsprung mass and all that??

  • the hayabusa weighs 100+ lbs more than the new r1 which is quite considerable in bike terms. the r1 is made for speed on the track, not ultimate stability at top speed.

  • You basically contradicted every word you said, to have speed, you need stability. The Hayabusa has a running weight of 573 pounds, because of the bigger gas tank, and extra fairings for aerodynamics.

  • yeah, stability in the corners not stability at top speed im tired of repeating myself. my goodness.

  • You never said anything about it having any or needing any stability, you're such a tool. You fail.

  • stability equals better cornering speed?

  • Oh my god, how dense are you? You need the stability, to be able to gain the speed, and yes technically it does. Better traction, and more downforce equals more speed.

  • so then we can conclude that the r1 "embarrases" the 1300 on the track as i already stated?

  • oh and what motorcycle has downforce?

  • Every motorcycle has downforce, do you realize downforce isn't just air? It's weight, keep a vehicle down, could be even gravity, or a SWINGARM. The R1 doesn't embarass the Busa on a track. Maybe another 1300, but not a Busa.

  • Are you serious? You honestly believe that a drag bike will beat a race bike around a track?

  • Who said anything about a drag bike? Absolutely no downforce, would mean there's nothing holding the bike down to earth. You're the stupidest fucker I've ever replied to on Youtube. Sorry but it's true.

  • what other class whould you consider a hayabusa? the only thing the damn thing is good for is going in a straight line. why do you think the only competition they see is the dragstrip? so tell me again in what world it beats the r1 around a race track. please i would love to see you prove it.

  • You're being pretty foolish, the Hayabusa wasn't considered the world's number 1 wonder of motorcycles for no reason. I've owned many Yamahas, they're pretty awesome. They just don't compare to a Busa or any GSXR. The GSXR1000 has 191 BHP, and only weighs 19 pounds more than a Yamaha R1. The R1 has 182 BHP.

  • The busa is a wonder of motorcycling and the gixxer is a great bike, my buddy has one. but the fact still remains, the busa "will not" win on the race track. agreed?

  • No, not agreed, a Busa will beat an R1 on the track, with a skilled rider. Although it's not fair, because of the extra displacement.

  • with an equivilent rider...no

  • You really just don't get it, Hayabusa's are putting out close to 20 more RWHP, and about 30 more RWTQ depending on the year.

  • yes and weighs over 100lbs more. now as shotya119 said "prove it"!!!

  • The Busa weighs 100 pounds more because fuel is heavy, and they have a 5.5 gallon fuel tank, hence being a sport cruiser. The R1 holds 4.8 gallons, which is almost 8.66 pounds less just in fuel.

  • ohh...... sorry for the mistake 91.34lbs more. well just to make the race fair, the guy on the r1 will can have a bit of a gut on him if your going to whine about the busa holding .7 more gallons. once again avoiding to provide proof of the hayabusa being faster .

  • Comment removed

  • it wont win on track, the busa is just too heavy and combursome for the track, if so please show some sort of proof for your theory!

  • busa couldnt beat an r1 on the track im sorry the hayabusas are drag bikes the r1 has the same technology as valentino rossi's moto GP bike its no contest the r1 would win

  • Busa's are not drag bikes first of all, if you take off them aerodynamic fairings, and bigger fuel tank that're on the Busa, it's essentially a bare bones bike like the R1, down in the 400 pound range. Technology doesn't matter in this case, they're both naturally aspirated inline 4's with close compression ratios, so extra displacement, will let it win.

  • displacement isnt everything, no matter how much you want it to be.

  • When it comes to bikes like these, that are stock, with similar engines, yes, displacement is everything then. I could understand if we were talking about a Busa with nitrous, or a turbo, but I'm talking about stock to stock.

  • yep and stock to stock the busa would lose. the r1's suspension, chassis, riding position, and brakes are much more adapted for track use, and the busa's for straight line speed. which is why the r1 conistantly wins WSBK races, and the busa consistantly wins at the drag strip.

  • These comments are getting too ridiculous, lol. Fine, I'll agree, the R1 is more adapted for track use. Yet Busa's have beaten them on tracks.

  • yes they are lol. agreed then.

  • you sir are the man haha

  • i do my best :)

  • i would like YOU to know mr. i know everything that a hayabusa weighs about 100 lbs more than an R1 and that your very wrong about the technology not mattering because theres a damn good reason yamaha put in so much time to replicate rossi's bike and thats to embarass all other bikes on the road or track the busa isnt built in any way shape or form to be flicked in an out of turns on a track that alone proves it cant touch the R1...put that in your pipe an smoke it ;)

  • Lolk, you're dumb. Hayabusa's used to weigh about 470, until they made them out of cheaper, and heavier steal. Explain to me how the technology matters much? Fancy cnc machined intakes, special fuel maps, all that stuff adds a few horsepower here and there. In the end what it comes down to is compression ratio, what the internals are made of, and displacement. By the way, you really need to learn how to spell bud.

  • dude how many darn times do you have to be told that horsepower isnt everything

  • Comment removed

  • Do you even know what horsepower is? It's just a unit of measurement, torque is the actual force being applied, idiot. Higher revving, equals more work done, therefore more horsepower, which is what Jap bikes rely on. So, learn what the fuck you're talking about, buddy. Horsepower is everything with Jap engines.

  • no i didnt know what horsepower was, thanks for the lesson. your such a smart guy!

  • Thanks man, I try my best. I figured you'd need that lesson although.

  • stop bombarding everyone that posts with your "explanations" and let them state their opinions and thoughts without having to worry that you're going to get on their case. you can't use 'although' at the end of a sentence.

  • I haven't commented on this video or responded in weeks. But what are you doing? You little hypocrite. A situation that was completely over, yet you're contradicting yourself and "bombarding" me.

  • I dont know if id be going round calling people dumb if you think its all about weight and horsepower... or that horsepower is about compression ratio and displacement. Im not slinging shit here but theres a lot more to making horsepower than that. All those new things add rideability from a smoother power delivery, which makes it in the end a faster bike. They are already fast enough for the street anyway, and id challenge anyone who said they need them

  • Do you honestly know what horsepower is? Just a measurement. With sportbikes it is all about horsepower due to their low gears, and high top speeds, they need to be able to rev high.. They are too fast for the street although, some kid flies by my house doing about 100 everyday on a little Honda, which is a 25 mph street. Power delivery doesn't have anything to do with the top speed though bud.

  • Cheers "bud'. But im pretty sure yamaha or any bike manufacturers bikes arent made for land speed records or drag racing, so when it comes to a track, i can tell you for a fact that a bike with smoother throttle response, and a flatter torque curve will get anywhere quicker. Top speed is only a very small part of what a bike needs to do, and these bikes arent built for that. Just so you know, my superbike i raced here had as much torque as a harley sportster, so its not all about their low gears

  • Not once did I say they were made for land speed records or drag racing, but you know as well as I do, most sportbikes are geard to do close to 200 mph, or over. I wasn't talking about low gears as in 1-2-3. I was talking about the actual gearing, I hope you understand. You know, how they're geared low? Jesus.

  • i respectfully disagree .

    i have a d16 rr and i still want more power....

    doing 160 or so i hit it and want more go.

    cant say that i would want it on a tight track like loudon NH . but on a big straight , cant hurt .

    and i love how the d16 has no electronics . i wish it was truely hardcore like my 05 r6. the r6 has cable throttle and no slipper clutch . it will have no sympathy for you if you cant ride it.

    r6 chasis gives little warning on the edge. they made less ridgid for 06 for this.

  • mushrume stop eating yourself!

    mushrooms let you dream too much!

  • How about this, I'll better explain it for your simple mind, next time your mommy's driving you to day care, stick your hand out of the window, and take note of the air blowing by, that's downforce. Every automobile or motorcycle that can travel at highway speeds, experiences downforce.

  • But it is no meaningful downforce to improve traction.

  • Comment removed

  • rear end bounces at speed????? lol That one takes the cake...

  • Watch some MotoGP racing bud. Them bikes are all over the track on straights or wide corners where they can gain some decent speed. Did you notice MotoGP Ducatis have also been crashing a lot lately? They took away the low center of gravity the metal swingarm gives the bike.

  • you're simply insane... everything you said goes either against logic, physics or both!

  • Explain, how so? Nothing I said goes against logic, or physics, you're the insane one bud. I've been commenting about stock bikes, inline 4's, and the weight of gasoline.

  • smoking!

    I noticed in one of the slow speed corner, the new low-mid range torque drive the bike out pretty well

  • I just realized that this track is like a copy of phillip Island. the only thing I hate about this new r1 is the back; it looks so thick with the mufflers.. it looks like the trunk of a car.

  • the best thing i've just noticed about this vid is the mode switch is clearly set to STANDARD mode which is alot less agressive than the A mode.. it just shows that it still give it full BHP...

  • fuck me!! the SOUND IS AMAZING! just like the m1 yamahas. Fucking amazing....

  • lol.

  • track test? Hyosung's engines would blow before it even makes it to the track.

  • Absolutely love the bike. Sooooo bloody nice

    But really hate eastern creek. lol

  • Man, I can't wait for this bike to hit New Zealand streets! 4 more days!!

  • less gear changes are needed compared to the fireblade.. Smooth cornering.. But i have to agree, there is a some tinge sound of a two stroke bike.

  • sounds like v-twin at 2 times speed

  • It should be nice to see a comparisasion between the first R1 and the 2009 model on this circuit or another!

    I think the old R1 is still very good because more torque at lower rpm.

  • I dont think it's going to out-torque this new bike.

    Sound is sooo good.. bit of latter 2-stroke gp bike sound (firing order much the same big-bang)... I WANT IT!!!!!!!!

  • Wrong....it's not a big bang engine. It's a crossplane crankshaft. Two different things altogether.

  • long-bang perhaps?

  • It's not a big bang, but rather an uneven firing order. instead of bang-bang-bang-bang like a regular 180 degree four it's bangbang-bangbang

    2 right next to each other followed by two more. For a decent comparison, listen to a VFR800 honda, and compare it to the older first gen V4's with the 360 crank.

  • show de bola,valeu

    abç

  • FUCKING HELL!!!! what riding! What sound!!

  • reminds us of the two stroke sound suzuki RG 500 Gamma... Do anyone of you feel that it has some tinge of a sound of a two stroke motor.

  • Interesting the blip at 1:36 and the rear didnt kick out at all.

  • a lot of head shake compared to the honda. The blade is more stable

  • The Yamaha has character built-in.

  • Awesome machine, pretty slow lap time for the 'creek though, guy needs to ull his finger out

  • This new R1 with its uneven firing order, sounds more like a V-Twin, which I suppose it is in a way.

    Sounds like the way to go.

  • Love this vid... I smile everytime i see the front going up on the beggining and the engine scream while downshifting at 01:32.

  • I had 2 R1's I loved them a 1999 a 2001 wish I still one.

  • which bike have more RPM?

  • 1000 has like the same!600cc r6 20.000rpm

  • 20,000????????

    its more than a F1!!!!!!!

  • Too much engine noise not enough exhaust note, slap an aftermarket on that thing and you have sex on wheels.

  • wow .

    why do you want cheap ass exhaust noise.

    you want to hear what the engine sounds like .given its a nice engine .

    ever hear an f430 punch it . thats sex on wheels

  • agreed. f430 is nice, it doesnt beat the sound of an R6 in full flight, the r1 will own it in a race easily but the new r1 sounds best while crusing imo

  • it sounds amazing piped, theres a video of tom sykes 09 r1 with akra evolution system on youtube.

  • And if you mod it I hate that shit where they write you a ticket for it. Make you have to prove you don't fail emissions what not, my 06 ZX-10R was a bitch, this is ultimately why I'm going Kawi this year, buy the R1 year after that.

  • I'm not a big fan of undertail exhaust though...

  • me too, especially if you ride on the road, you're just telling the police "hey look at me"

  • cant imagine how this thing would sound with a full system aftermarket exhaust...

  • Just watch Rossi's bike and R1 2009 at WSBK. That's it! :)

  • Brilliant.

    That sounds so good!

  • THANK YOU MCN !

    loved the video

  • Sounds amazing,Looks-Decent, in race fairing, sexy as hell, and new pipes it'll be everything you've every wanted in a superbike;)

  • such a difference with the 2007-2008 model at least the sound ... it really sounds like the M1

  • fuckin rocket....

  • LMAO a bike on a track course is interesting, but I'm sure the power would be uneasingly defeating and my wide body I could block most the racing line so it's not like I could be passed safely.

    Doesn't matter if an RX3 runs 6 flat or not, I am still manual so in that alone I am God's Errant Wrath LOL No auto's here.

    Really I could see it try, but then again I could always just crank the boost to maximum 40PSI and just lauph at it while I actually use my nitrous dual stage, but overkill much?

  • what the fuck are you on about. wanker

  • hehe, i sadly agree that the sound is not as good stock as before :(

  • wow strelitz, you are so cool, i wish i could be you
