  • the best fucking bike in the world. since 1998!

    every year, the best bike! no bike beats it up.

  • R1 IS THE COLDEST BIKE OUT THERE!!!

  • Hey, You either love or hate the sound of ducati's. I personally love the sound... But i'd rather get the real deal and actually buy a Ducati. The R1 sounds better with the classic 4 cylinder whishiness..

  • i dont like the sound

    

  • Why do the new R1s sound like Ducatis? Do the calendars fire in pairs or something?

  • @ironDsteele Not pairs, 0-270-180-90 degree intervals.

  • @ironDsteele Its because of the cross plane crankshaft

  • buy this bike in australia to drive 100 km/h

  • r1 2009-10 totaly shit sound.lm so sad of this cause lm a fun of yamaha.

  • Every fuckin vid has an ad on Subaru. Never did mind them until now...

  • no matter what the rest said... it's still my dream bike... (^_^)

  • uuuuhhh. he is gonna need chains...

  • motorcyclecocksdotcom

  • the engine will bee dead in one week if you will giving that much tortle witch 65C and with onlu 490 km ahead... and i think the oil have bad specification for that temprature outside...

  • 67C + 13rpm = idiot

  • @pajda1990 i bet u he had it warmed up so ur the idiot

  • Nice ;D

  • UN CAÑON

  • instead of using consonants, Australian people use hard e's and a's

  • Comment removed

  • i just jizzed

  • good luck riding that thing very "shortly" with all that snow

  • Download FreeYamaha Motorcylce Manuals, It takes 1 Minute *** yamaharepairmanual . net

  • just wondering why yamaha make it a bit heavy.. a fat looking bike.. tsk tsk.. but hands down to the engine of r1 .. very smooth in power delivery

  • @boglook 2008 model it's more beautiful ....

  • Nice bike!

  • the first "new" bike i noticed which can be started without pulling the clutch...

    jepp i ride a suzuki gsxr...

  • get a better camera!!!

  • I don't like the sound at all...if you strap a two brothers or hr1 then we're talking...other than that, the stock pipes do no justice to the engine power.

  • @thepilotguy123

    I just sold my two brothers and bought an Hr1 exhaust. I'll tell you how it sounds.

  • 67° C , so ?

  • Beautiful Bike.....luv the blue on black

  • A bit*

  • I bit too stupid to be driving that thing in the snow - Wouldnt you think.

  • @netmarble. thats why the video is called a teaser... because it's not being riden in the snow.

  • the bigger bikes are really nice.. y honda have to be so small T.T

  • Nice sound! Yamaha R1 is the king of bikes.

  • r1 is very big  zx-10r 2009 The biggest force:D

  • jet yamaha

  • Oh yeah, your right

  • ?? 67°C thats lil bit to hot.. right?

    I think you mean 32°F thats like 0 °C

  • i like how he just revs the shit out of it after a second or 2 after initial start lol.... meh 600 is good nuff for me

  • i like how there's a little flash when the revv's reach the top limit....pretty dope....but i cant imagine riding that bad boy in that snow over there

  • That is a shift indicator. It can manually be changed at whatever RPM you would like. When Going For Speed. You want to concentrate on the road and not looking at your instrument cluster. :)

  • Ill stick to the 600.

    MCN vids are always poorly made.

  • hate the sound!!!

  • Im right there with you!!! my remote controlled Rc toy sounds alout better xD

  • it´s me or the sound is like 2 temps motorbike xD? well alll kritiks about this bike are so good i wait that kritiks are true

  • It must suck riding in the snow

  • ducati sound like a deesel tractor.

  • @Formulastreet Not really, but it's a good comparison for a hater.

  • @Formulastreet but isn't this vid about the 2009 Yamaha R1 ? wtf and you get 29 thumbs for that? lol wow

  • aw harsh have insurence?

    what do you think of the 09 R1... good/bad or what?

  • really. that old 04 R1 was great, this one looks like its been wreked

  • Whoa. Nice bike. Gotta get one! :D

  • It looks weird because they extended the tank and shortened the passenger seat and extended the drivers seat, Its more compacted.

  • Sounds mean!!! like its actually race preped. revs quick almost like F1

  • why does this bike look to strange?

  • hmmmmmmmm...sound dont represent the real R1 I've known for years... f*ck it =(

  • check it out .... something about a crossplane crankshaft. supposedly better power delivery. i think it is a good thing

  • The same sound as the M1 :D

  • prefiro hayabusa

  • no son comparables ñoño.

  • are you saying it breaks the laws of "elementary physics" (as you put it) to ride a motorcycle on ice or snow?

  • Incredible bike to drive.. i love it.

  • nice

  • 2003 R1 forever most beautiful bike!

  • the monster

  • 2008 forever....

  • das teil hört sich an wie ein staubsauger :D:D:D:D:D:D

  • 1st time i've heard the new R1 properly!

    sounds incredible!

    i was beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about, obviously all the other vids must have crappy microphones!

  • i preffer my gsxr k8....

  • does that fucker come with snow tires?

  • why would a bike come with snow tires?

  • did you watch the video?

    the entire video is shot outside...in the snow...

    does it make sense now?

    wow.

  • yeah Obviously its shot outside in the snow. do you think when yamaha designed there street bike they were expecting someone to ride it out in the fucking snow? have you ever seen someone riding with snow on the road? Thats why. No it doesnt come with snow tires.

  • are you a yamaha dealership owner, sir?

    i think not. and, as such, i do not think you are qualified to tell me what a new 2009 Yamaha R1 comes with as standart (or even optional) equipment.

    and what, in your vast knowledge and experience, has led you to conclude that yamaha ABSOLUTELY did not design the bike to be used on snow or ice?

  • ...and more to the point....

    don't you have a cock to suck?

  • hey why are you on here? shouldent you be out riding in the snow like a fucking retard? have fun with that

  • this is y a yamaha raptor atv is much more fun :)

  • @steve3sc I've ridden my R1 in the snow a few times and I've gotta say, the mich power pilots 1's are a lot better in the snow than I would have thought. I expected them to be useless...and in some respects they were, but it didn't just sit and spin all day O.o.

  • V engine?

  • No mate its a straight........but its got the new crossplane crankshaft used in the Moto GP bikes - its sounds gorgeous though

  • Check my vid and you'll see how it should sound

  • Haha!

    If you don't care, don't watch.

    You clicked it you fucking idiot.

    Go cry about how failed your life is somewhere else.

  • dont get me wrong the performance of the bike will be great but im not to keen on the styling. the front end just doesnt look that great to me but i think it might grow on me

  • i prefer the tail of 2008 model, it complements with the devil look of the front bike. does this bulky come from the muffler or from the cover itself. if it is come from the muffler to create that new scream well i have no option but either to keep my 2008 R6 and wait for this 2009 R1 model to redesign its tail. i find it ugly at the back. well this was just my taste, not sure with the others though

  • wtf?? the sound has nothing to do with the exhaust, except hide it! if you get akrapovic exhausts you'll hear teh real engine note.. and it's not a gimick it's a diffrent firing order, nothing to do with the exhaust...

  • Agree. Besides: If you have enough money for a brand new bike, you'll also have the money for an akra evo exhaust...

    I don't like the tail, too, but still i'm gonna buy the R1 + akra ;)

  • waiting for re-designing the exhaust pipe cover. its bulky and dont have the razor look and that complement the front look of the bike. this only keep me thinking whether i coose 2009 or previous model like 2008.

  • I agree they should do away with that and actually stretch the passenger pylon a little, or maybe just a clean rear with a shorty GP style side pipe like the R6.

  • ... why not have a look at the exhausts graves are offering... they do a shorty style. also.. you can by diffrent undertail exhausts for it so it doesn't look so bulky and sounds better anyway.

  • Idiot in the ice

  • wow...i have been an hd guy all my life and i am contemplating buying one of these for the weekend....

  • Get a snowmobile, man!

  • i have never liked under seat exhaust pipes just looks ugly to me the r6 looks nice

  • que som do melhor! O.O

  • Can't wait to get mine in a couple weeks...!!!!!!

  • This is like two-wheeled porn!

  • I think this is my third time watching this video!

    I absolutely loved it!

    Thanks for posting!

  • i just watched the test ride. shit reminds me of when i was a kid and used to put crushed soda cans on my tires so itd make that weird sound basically what this sounds like

  • come on riders .....at the end of the day theu are all a bikes hail to HONDA,SUZUKI,YAMAHA AND KAWASAKI.

  • he is not fit to be even touching that R1.

  • This time not with that wimpy winky of a scarf wiggling in the draft (haha, joke taken from a Baker interview on youtube.

  • i heard him the last day of the bike salon in brussel with a set of akra's, firts i did not belive it was a 4cilinder, the sound is like a fast reving boxer :p

    not that thats a neg. point :p

  • Great overall, however I strongly dislike the exhaust section, those cans have to go, replaced with some good acra or Sbk or w/e is available out there on the after market for R1 for this season

  • He must have the Optional studded tires.

  • Sure, it picks the revs up pretty quick in neutral, but what jap sportsbike doesn't?. I guess I'll have to experience it first hand.

    Of course yamaha are going to try and connect this with their motogp machine to sell it, I'm sure it would have cost a few pennies to have Rossi make them look good.

    As for the design I think it's a real shocker, the front end is just as poor as the 09 zx10r setup. I'll stick with the Gsxr thanks :-)

  • the R1 have the best sound this category of 1000cc

    how much cust this motorcycle in your cowtry?

    By: Renan Brasil

  • I love this bike and I can not wait for a all out review.

  • We want donuts !

  • nice!

  • 2009 yamaha with a 58 late?

  • Sound is growin on me...

  • big bang?????

  • It's not a 'big bang' engine, there are similarities but not the same as a moto GP

  • There's no more "big bang" engines in motogp. Rossi's M1 has the exact 90º configuration for each piston like the new R1 - Crossplane crankshaft. "Big-Bang" was used on 2 stroke bikes with 60º-70º for each piston until 2001/2002. Also, Rossi's bike is inline 4cyl. Ducati and Suzuki are using V-4 engines.

    Most bike magazines confuse us all saying that it is the "big-bang", but it isn't.

  • I like the idea, but a sat on it at the Excel show and it felt massive. You can see the headlights like a car bonnet

  • with an R1 in your hands, i dont think you'll be looking at her headlights mate hehe

  • unbelievable! wicked this new R1, love everything about it. i guess the light for the rev counter might be handy..but do we really need it? is it standard or an optional? (sorry dont feel like researching it =P )

  • you set the light to come on at x amount of revs. maybe usefull for running the bike in , in the dark lol

  • Useful for track days and timing gearchanges, otherwise just another gimmick

  • yea i suppose, but i still rather rely on the engine sound and feel. yes i know the computers on board are telling me the optimum time to change gear, but i duno, call me oldschool!

  • Mmm... Love that exhaust note!
