@XxAlex1xX1 Depends on your riding experience. The less experience you have, the smaller the sport bike you should start out on. R1's are no where considered a good starter sport bike. All R1 riders I know started out on R6's.
@XxAlex1xX1 startin on a super sports with no experience is like being thrown in a pool haveing never even touched water and then asked to retrieve something from the botom. the R1 is one of the most powerfull bikes on the market and deffernetly not a begginers bike. i started in the same sitchuation as you never touched a bike befor but i wanted to go fast. have a look at the GT650R Hyosung ive had an 07 and now i have a 2010 EFI. but in the end whatever you sit on and go yes is the bike for u
@XxAlex1xX1 beat around a ninja 500 for a few months and then sell it for the same thing you paid for it when you're ready to upgrade. If you have no dirtbike/motorcycle exp, then a 600 is too big.
Hi i'm collecting the same model of this bike on the 15th May. Is the petrol tank metal? only that i have a tank bag and its magnetic. Look forward to hearing from you. Gorgeous looking bike mate.
I am 1, 72cm - 5' 8''; with this height could I touch the floor with my on two feet (obvious) on the pilot seat? (RR, R1, GSXR whatever the sport bike). Sorry for the stupid question. =D And I don't know if my english is good or right, cuz' I'm from Brazil and you know, Portuguese and English is not the same thing. Thank you! I need know that!
Having owned only motocross and dual-purpose bikes i wonder what is the engine life of a R1. Can you expect to get say 100,000 kms out of the motor with only minor problems, or it high maintenance. Owners of past R1's any comments ....
Those exhausts look like rocket boosters and the lights look freaky as hell... I actually like R1's but they just look terrifying. I love my 08cbr1000rr but it doesn't look nearly as crazy as that thing.
becuz of the Cross Plane Crankshaft of motoGP ... the sound of the R1 2k9 likes the V-Engine's sound ... and the canister design for Euro2 Standard , so it's sound doesn't good ... u should change the exhaust system for a real sport sound ... anyway , nice bike , i like this paintjob ...
r1 2009 pistons same wif the ducati concepts..all the pistons gave the impacts n boost all the time..that make the sounds more louder n hard like ducati
I like the styling and paint scheme of the the 2004 R1 (candy red) much more but damn, the sound this cross plane crank makes is sooo different from what you'd expect from a I4 liter bike! WOW!
@exup1k i Have a 2009 R1 now and I think its awesome. I have no hate for the GSX-R it came very close between the 2009 R1 and the 2009 GSX but i have a mate at Yamaha who looks after me with everything i want and need for my bike i dont pay full price so was kinda a gimme
@suprascooter its a gimmick of a bike, low bhp, heavy, way over-priced, hey if you got money to burn no problem, just i dont buy into the over-hype. Im no fanboy, i buy any make if its good..... ive seen these on my mates dyno - they are a joke, if your going to charge 12k for a bike at least make it fast, not just noisy and full of vibration. Should have spent your money on an s1000rr - thats just my opinion.
@GreatWhiteCY honestly - no, i have 2 mates that have, one booked out for a hr test ride, another mate that bought one and sold it again at 1500 miles. My mate that sorts them out on the dyno reckons they are a pain in arse, can hardly do anything to the engine as it goes out of sync real easy and vibrates like a bastid, worse than standard. I just cannot see the 12k price tag, such a joke, 146bhp at rear wheel standard..
@GreatWhiteCY Im sure it would ride as you expect for 09 bike, but you would soon get pissed off when your mates blast past on their bikes costing less than half the money, i dont care what it sounds like - i could get a ride on one if i had the inclination, personally id have any gsxr post 2005, a 07 08 R1, half the cost, and be ahead of the cross plane... this bike would suit the person that likes to be seen on the latest r1, not the discerning buyer.......
@exup1k look, i've started with a yamaha gt50cc in 1988, then went 2 the TZR2500, then 2 an FZ400, the had an FZR750RR then went to my 1st 1000cc in 1991, after that i went to yamaha thunderace. 1998 i went to my 1st R1, then went to 2003, after went to 2005 and a year ago i got a 2008. Now i have the 2010 R1.. all i can say to u my friend is this: it may NOT have the balls my 2005 had especially at high revs, but MY GOD its by far the fastest bike i've ever driven in the track.
@GreatWhiteCY Hey, i started in 1988 also, with a Honda Melody, born in 72. I never thought of bikes till i got the scotter for my 16th, been addicted since. My list is very large, you would think Bsh*t.. owning over 70 bikes since, from rds, tzrs, to gsxrs r1s. basically almost everything. Currently have 3 R1s (2 track) RSVR mille, 08 R6, 00 R6 and 02 R6. Track riding mainy down to the rider, i have beaten 09 r1 on the track yet have been beaten myself by cbr600rr...with me on a 99 R1.
@GreatWhiteCY Interesting you say the 09 doesnt have the top speed of your old 05 R1, the 05 R1 aint even that must of a fast bike, i know i have gunmetal grey one in the garage at the moment, any GSXR thou is faster than the 05 R1, And the 05 R1 is quite a wimp in the midrange - so you will feel impressed by the 09.... but your 09 is outright slower than a 05, yet the 05 aint nothing fantastic, a carb R1 can keep with a 05.... so wheres your value for money ??????
@exup1k money value? i never had an issue with money my friend & i never much cared how much the bike was or how much i would get back by selling it. All i ever cared about was the BIKE & if i enjoyed riding it and looking at it, and the new R1 just suits me FINE, all i said was i dont care if i get beaten on the str8s, as long as i can beat the shit out of them on the track. I love my new R1,it has everything i want on a bike, it suits the way i drive & thats y i bought it, 2 me the rest is BS
@GreatWhiteCY i could buy one tomorrow, no problem at all, i have 7 bikes in the garage at the moment,, im sure your an absolute beast on the track with your R1.... post a video ) otherwise its all just words - innit??? I just think its over-rated, and alot share my opinion, and like yourself, alot love it also. I have a vid posted of my last track day....
@exup1k blah blah blah..is this what u do in life? log on to utube all day and speak badly about the new R1? OK u spoke ur mind!!!!!! more than once, we heard u the 1st time. dont repeat ur self. Its boring, Time to logoff, get a life, maybe?
@exup1k in all honesty dude your preference on bike is ur thing, and honestly i do respect it. But why you choose to come onto a video about the 09 R1 and hang shit on it is beyond me? clearly there will be more lovers of the bike then haters. wouldnt it make more sense to go to a suzuki video and say how great they are then to come here and share your negativity. dont get me wrong if thats what you want to do then by all means do it but it seems very counter productive. in my opinion
@exup1k r u drunk? lool u havent driven one ? loool but u have a friend that has one???????????????????????????????? looooooooooooooooool GOD looool and you have all this knowledge ref the new R1 how exactly? by reading a magazine? or coz u can beat your friend? who might be a piss poor driver ??????
ps. learn 2 listen, and respect the opinion of others
Long live rossi,,,whether his at honda-yamaha-ducati
@CutSlickTires i do respect other peoples opinion... i just have knowledge from what i hear back about the bike, firstly i think its pig ugly to start with, thats my opinion...its slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, if you a bike that runs like a v twin, get a v twin... beat my friend..... what are you on about ?? so have you ridden it yet then???
@exup1k Fantastic sitting position, no vibrations like ALL my other R1's i had, brilliant midrange power, finally a smooth gear box on an R1... to me power on the highway and max speed doesnt mean anything anymore, im in my 40's. all i want now is QUALITY..and the new R1 has that. If i wanted highway speed i would buy a suzuki FAT bussa, my friends might be faster in the long str8's but on the track??? i kick ass.. BADLY, and thats all that matters...
@GreatWhiteCY It is about speed, i agree especially the midrange, but a 05 06 GSXR has the big midrange the new r1 has. Looking at your bikes, your very much Yamaha, shame you never tried all the other great bikes out there! The 09 R1 needs alot gas early as you drive out of bends, so why you never tried a well sorted Ducati, not a fan myself but if thats the power delivery you like. I know MANY guys that bought the cross plane and sold it on, being disappointed, and the price is ridiculous.
@GreatWhiteCY Well, we only have your word that you kick ass badly, quite easy to say on a youtube comment..... My riding buddy has a 99 r1 track bike, and he never gets touched, not by nothing.. hes lapping guys in the fast group.. its funny looking down the pits, 09 R1s, GSXRs, 20k+ ducatis, dataloggers, laptops, even seen a guy warming his engine with a space heater before he starts it!! then to be completely thrashed by a guy on 99 R1, like i say, most of it is posing
honestly..I'm upgrading from a ninja 250....luuuve the r1 and I'm going to get it but the 09 model looks shit...nothing like the 07 or the 08....thanks yamaha.......
@xXFR057Xx ***NEWS FLASH*** You are on YOUTUBE talking shit if you want someone to mind their business how bout you don't reply to videos on youtube shitface....
@westeh news flash? really? are u 5 or something? im not talking shit little guy. again, stay to your own business. i think your confusing yourself....im still laughing about the news flash thing. isnt that shit from the 80's? my grandma use to say that.
I've read all kinds of comments on how good the '09 R1 sounds and how similar it is to the M1sound (and they really are, don't get me wrong) but the amazing thing that everyone keeps forgetting is that the M1 engine has only 800cc, against the 1000cc of the R1, it makes 6000 rpm more than the R1's engine but nevertheless it has the same low,deep growl exhaust sound as the R1. THAT is what is amazing!
I have one like this almost mine dude!
Fucking nice ass and beautiful face!!
Best Yamaha ride!!

@GreatWhiteCY Interesting you say the 09 doesnt have the top speed of your old 05 R1, the 05 R1 aint even that must of a fast bike, i know i have gunmetal grey one in the garage at the moment, any GSXR thou is faster than the 05 R1, And the 05 R1 is quite a wimp in the midrange - so you will feel impressed by the 09.... but your 09 is outright slower than a 05, yet the 05 aint nothing fantastic, a carb R1 can keep with a 05.... so wheres your value for money ??????

@exup1k money value? i never had an issue with money my friend & i never much cared how much the bike was or how much i would get back by selling it. All i ever cared about was the BIKE & if i enjoyed riding it and looking at it, and the new R1 just suits me FINE, all i said was i dont care if i get beaten on the str8s, as long as i can beat the shit out of them on the track. I love my new R1,it has everything i want on a bike, it suits the way i drive & thats y i bought it, 2 me the rest is BS

@exup1k in all honesty dude your preference on bike is ur thing, and honestly i do respect it. But why you choose to come onto a video about the 09 R1 and hang shit on it is beyond me? clearly there will be more lovers of the bike then haters. wouldnt it make more sense to go to a suzuki video and say how great they are then to come here and share your negativity. dont get me wrong if thats what you want to do then by all means do it but it seems very counter productive. in my opinion

@CutSlickTires i do respect other peoples opinion... i just have knowledge from what i hear back about the bike, firstly i think its pig ugly to start with, thats my opinion...its slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, if you a bike that runs like a v twin, get a v twin... beat my friend..... what are you on about ?? so have you ridden it yet then???

@exup1k Fantastic sitting position, no vibrations like ALL my other R1's i had, brilliant midrange power, finally a smooth gear box on an R1... to me power on the highway and max speed doesnt mean anything anymore, im in my 40's. all i want now is QUALITY..and the new R1 has that. If i wanted highway speed i would buy a suzuki FAT bussa, my friends might be faster in the long str8's but on the track??? i kick ass.. BADLY, and thats all that matters...
GreatWhiteCY 1 year ago
@GreatWhiteCY It is about speed, i agree especially the midrange, but a 05 06 GSXR has the big midrange the new r1 has. Looking at your bikes, your very much Yamaha, shame you never tried all the other great bikes out there! The 09 R1 needs alot gas early as you drive out of bends, so why you never tried a well sorted Ducati, not a fan myself but if thats the power delivery you like. I know MANY guys that bought the cross plane and sold it on, being disappointed, and the price is ridiculous.
exup1k 1 year ago
@GreatWhiteCY Well, we only have your word that you kick ass badly, quite easy to say on a youtube comment..... My riding buddy has a 99 r1 track bike, and he never gets touched, not by nothing.. hes lapping guys in the fast group.. its funny looking down the pits, 09 R1s, GSXRs, 20k+ ducatis, dataloggers, laptops, even seen a guy warming his engine with a space heater before he starts it!! then to be completely thrashed by a guy on 99 R1, like i say, most of it is posing

I've read all kinds of comments on how good the '09 R1 sounds and how similar it is to the M1sound (and they really are, don't get me wrong) but the amazing thing that everyone keeps forgetting is that the M1 engine has only 800cc, against the 1000cc of the R1, it makes 6000 rpm more than the R1's engine but nevertheless it has the same low,deep growl exhaust sound as the R1. THAT is what is amazing!
