2009 Yamaha R1 on TBR Dyno

[Chingchi]

wow, unreal! From 0:00 to 0:05 sounds like a Corvette Z06 pulling...then of course it goes past 7K into stratospheric RPM's.

[eamh2002]

"I heard Two Brothers were dynoing a nascar" "no wait they're dynoing an R1" :p

Well, if they used crossplane years ago, and now went to regular, everyone would be like: "WOW WHAT A SOUND, CROSSPLANE IS LAME"

[JordanianPride80]

if i was there , i'll prank you & let the wheel touch a ground :)

[USsniperElite]

why does it seem like ur dyno is in ur living room? or somewhere in ur house?

[trick384]

my ear just came

[TjejLord]

EARGASM!!

[smokinseb]

I'VE GOT THE SAME PIPES ON MY 09 R1.

JUST WONDERING HOW MANY DB THEY PUT OUT?

I'M SUPRISED I HAVN'T BEEN PULLED OVER AS THEY HAVE

SUCH A MEAN NOTE TO THEM.

[thereal2brothers]

@smokinseb We offer a variety of exhaust canister tip inserts that adjust the sound output level.

[mellieeful]

That is an awesome bike!! Take me out!!! :)

[dgkk2]

That bike is HOT

[jimothy1967]

How can only 1000cc sound so awesome.......!!

[leonvandermaas]

@jimothy1967 only 1000cc ?/

 thats pretty much for a motorbike

[selesafifi]

@jimothy1967 what do you mean by ONLY ?? cars usually starts with 1600 cc and this thing is 1000cc then look at the difference between their sizes. 

[RazorzNvida123]

Hey i have that same computer. I wish i could say the same thing about the bike...

[0706ANDY]

its a bird, its a plain, its super man, nahhhh its an r1 ..........bahahahhah

[titatato1]

esta espetacular el video

[silverburzt]

damn they do sound like a car!

[GOBbluthagain]

1st few seconds sounds like a mean v8...

[XXTRITON81MIKEXX]

Good lord,that thing sounds like a big block at the beginning

[xdux]

what kinda horse and torque these make? with the new crossplane

[thereal2brothers]

The numbers are on our website.

[MGOFTW]

haha, almost identical to mine, except mines got akropovic full racing system, pricey, wish i had a two brothers set

[armen1pl]

sounds like hemi v8 :) great job japans:)))))))))

new engine sounds better than old :D

[standaway1]

its the crossplane crankshaft

[MacKELiOn13]

sound likes a jet.,.wow

[asena123]

Sorry - was that an R1? Or the sound of Armageddon?????

[almostskater54]

@asena123 man if that is armagedon itt never sounded so AMAZING!! to me

[Skidawg53]

@asena123 Both lol

[Spencerian]

Nice Job.  :)

[mark77woody]

Sounds like a fucking plane. Awesome!

[FIREBLADESrule]

what kinda power is it makin? thinkin of puttin a system on mine now its run in

[thepilotguy123]

Now THATS a nice noise!

[kaindahouse]

damn that sound is awesome!!

[17pixel]

i love the sound of that bike! mmm....great!

[Egonizer]

very nice bike! any more videos of this one? :)

[snurczyk]

That sound is the sound of pure evil... about time a sportbike sounds like real muscle

[peacetifosi46]

reply to kilabot749, the new sound is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man. Very close to motogp bike, so classic like v8. you will fall asleep.

[kilabot749]

it kinda sounds like a ducati. It doesn't sound like the old R1s anymore..

[CBRRiderr]

its the new firing patern they have i believe thats giving it the new sound

[madpistol]

When this bike gets up around 7-8k RPM's, it sounds like a very mean V8, but when it gets up around 10k and above, it sounds like nothing else in this world!

The k9 R1 is so freakin badass!!!

[xelamos95]

i like the old sound....

[stevendrifts]

69elko is correct. Im a Suzuki fan in every way. But the truth is on the track(cornering especially) the R1 is just to nasty. Which is because of its mid range stank! This is the only bike i would own over mine.(2008 gsx-r 600 white.)

[PixxByTangoDotCom]

RPM24: My bone stock 2009 R1 made 163 to the tire on the dyno. Any 09 R1 that makes 146hp shows there is something wrong!

[jjjp0619]

69elko is right. YZF R1 is the best bike to have if u're experience. hahah

[69elko]

You guys don't realize that peak horsepower doesn't mean anything if it isn't useable. On a 1000cc bike that is the problem, it is hard to control in corners. That is why yamaha made the 2009 R1. The corners are what matter in a race, if you can take the corner faster you can come out faster and still win on the straight away.

[nintendo007]

actually the horse power is lower than the cbr 1000rr but I like the sound way better for this bike

[ironmb86]

Its midrange is FUCKING ridiculiuos tho.... my cbr1000 i love it, but i rode my buddies 09 r1, and that things midrange is so fucking amazing!

[Hecktickid]

This bike is a BEAST!!!!!!!!

[jjjp0619]

YZF R1 2009 is the world superbike champion. shut ur mouth computer geeks.

[MotoflashRo]

@jjjp0619: so what? the SBK version is very much different than what you can actually buy in stores.

[rush2905]

what was the horsepower?

[rpm24]

146hp @ rw, suzuki and kawasaki got almost 10 rwhp more !!!

the r1 got the lowest hp of all 2009 1000cc bikes + ducati 1098 (150rwhp)......that´s kinda sad.....!!!

[pha74s]

But shits all over them in road tests... Thats kinda sad!!!

[ITGOEZ]

yeah it is but I'm still getting one because they look awesome and sound even better :D and the even more sad thing is the price in aus they are still 20k compared to a zx10r's 15k or gsxr's 16k(reply to rpm24)

[T1WL2PG]

ok wat was the point of that?

[YZFR1mart]

well said 24... lambo lamer likes to big up his shit on here to make him feel better about racing in novice groups on track days :P LAMBO man take a break... you dont have to be a prick all your life yer know :D chill and respect these machines for what they are. even a honda C50 gets reviewed with good points.. :) rossi and yamaha all the way

[Blood1Zero]

yes because an r1 isn`t fast enough?

[libali10]

How many PS performance in the measurement in the wheel dyno?

[robtminnican]

yes they are probably selling it because theyve bought it and shit their pants like most inexperienced riders like you

[jjjp0619]

lamborghiniv12: couple of trackdays doesnt make a pro. do u even know how to set up a bike?  i have one suggestion for u; stop reading dealership brochure, RIDE IT. u can't judge a R1 if the R1 rider was his/her 1st trackday.

[upbury]

For fuck sake calm down! Anyway i ride a GSXR1000 k7 and love on track and road there's no shit superbike nowadays really it's just down to what YOU the owner likes.

[derapage666]

what a fucking-powerful sound!!!!!

[yamiman]

this exhaust is amazing i have it on my 09 and wow! even better in person

[ranham10]

Just bought an 09' simply amazing!! Looking for some advice, getting ready to have a baby and my wife won't let me spend $1800 on the graves Cat. Elem Exhaust. Probably go with TwoBros but worried about overheating, do you have any problems with it? Did you have to get it Map'd? Has anyone put a power commander or a Juice box on yet?

[46ValRossi46]

I have the Two Brothers and if thats all ya gonna add ya do not need a map ... it'll run just fine and no need to worry about over heatin' ... NOW ... since ya can't spend 2 grand on a full exhaust you CAN get the Two Bros and the LeoVince mid pipe and that'll run ya less then 1 grand ... it's what I done and I love it !

[J4AProductions]

just get a slip on it will be alll fine

[mushrume]

each rider has their own preference.

some people are faster with more top end rush power and some like more umph in the mid range of the rpm band. just what works for you that counts. the new r1 has more power i believe at 9 k than the rest of the liter bikes . i just read a compare and contrast on a long airplane ride and they had dyno sheets for the big four. they all very close to the same peak hp. the honda i remember had the highest top speed. i think yama had the best 0 to 100 .

[LoCoBoi187]

how many cycles do u do? and where can u go to do this?

[yamahamotoR1]

(chadgresham) buy what you fell comfortable in .go to the dealers sit on the bike and see which one feels good. go to hell all you who say its not for beginners if you have the money buy it .shit buy the y2k if you can the hell with it.their both good bike but the r1 is on top.

[adrenalineboyzryan]

A HP boast is what the manufacturers sell their bikes on. If nobody cared about having a faster bike than the next guy everyone would be riding mopeds. LOL To each his own for sure. I used to have a Yamaha myself, but I just like my CBR better. Nothing against Yamaha, but I just thought it would put out more power considering all the rave about this bike.

[28hourslater]

Once again, it's not about how much power it makes, it's the way in which the power is produced that counts. With this new motor, you can pile the power on much earlier that the blade. Furthermore, the motor generates torque much more efficiently so it doesn't need as much torque or power as the blade. This is why on the dyno it seems peaky and gutless, but on the road it feels like a 1098 in the way that it out grunts the opposition.

[adrenalineboyzryan]

So it is smother, so what. It drives like a twin because of the cross place crank. It all comes down to the rider anyways. The best bike in the world can't make the worst rider good. Like I said earlier, ossi makes Yamaha look dam good! I used to have one, and I prefer the Honda's power, as it fits my riding style. I sat on the new R1 and it feels like a tank compared to my 1000rr!

[dynamicz108]

Just to clarify a bitty there mate the R1 rides like a V-twin down low but once you let it go its a completely different animal, it screams away like all the rest of the japs.

[adrenalineboyzryan]

It sounds nothing like a normal 4 cylinder bike! And like I said, it feels like a tank! I do admit that it is a wicked fast track bike, but I just like what I like. Not dissing Yamaha too much because like I have said, I used to own one myself.

[Spanci0k]

will be enough 600cc

[Spanci0k]

dude if you are beginner don't but 1000cc...

[Spanci0k]

what silencer did you use....?

[desainproduk]

sound like V8 thou..

[jayycrack]

i want a new r1 soo bad

[adrenalineboyzryan]

Well, I could care less how the race teams do. I didn't buy my bike on the race record, I bought it because it is fast, and I love the way it handles. Buying a bike because it is wining races is for people who just want to brag. By the way, the racer has more to do with the bikes success than the bike itself. Like Moto GP. Valentino Rossi makes Yamaha look dam good! He could hop on anything and kick most anyone's ass!

[cdub6969]

To the wheels dip shit!

[adrenalineboyzryan]

NO SHIT moron! What do you think I was talking about??????

[MnDeerHunter09]

Damn that things sounds great

[chadgresham]

question I am buying a bike and would like to know which is better R1 or GSX

[MnDeerHunter09]

Either bike would be a blast, but the new R1 is suppose to be the best of the best

[rEcKLesSzzz]

if its your first bike dont get the r1 cuz i has 1000cc 250cc is recommended for "noobs" idk how many ccs the GSX but if its over 600 i dont recommend it as a first bike

[Mysticfizz24]

Not a Yamaha fan but that 09 R1 is something fucking special, don't care what the figures say in what mags, that thing is an animal!

Lush note as well

[seang15243]

I love that crossplane crank technology. These bikes are gonna be a classic someday. Many others will not share the same fate.

[StoneShoulderz]

lol You know whats funny? MCN tested the Yami the new Kawi and the new Honda. Guess which one was best of the 3? YAMAHA! Bube you fail.

I own a yellow 09 R1, and raced all kinds of 1000cbr's I beat them STOCK, with all their mods. Bube, your exactly that. A BUBE.

[aluisious]

Where did you race the CBRs?

[BubeNovakovic1234]

ok maybe thats true but the new r1 is no good at all

[Videovogel]

I love Yamaha R1

[speedydave]

Manufacturer claimed horsepower numbers are usually measured at the crankshaft. Chassis dynos (which measure rear wheel horsepower) will always be lower because of drivetrain loss. So, all of the numbers are right, but the chassis dyno numbers are what's actually getting to the ground.

[Ryan40272]

I mean seriously, thats a lot of hp to over hype if its really not cranking that much

[Ryan40272]

Im still trying to figure out who to believe. Ive seen two brothers dyno and graves dyno saying the 09 R1 with their exhaust pushing a lil over 150hp, yet everything else i read on the R1 claims it to be stock 180hp

[fasterthanyou22]

its not a v8 engine. Its a crossplane crank 4 cylinder engine. The crossplane crank utilizes the same design as a 90 degree v8 engine.

[freoliv]

Is a V8 engine?? Very cool!!

[jonesy77777]

Jesus, that things sounds beastly, I have an 04' with the M2 carbon exhaust, it sounds amazing, but this seems a little deeper. Very nice.

[r0ckztar10]

..,love that sounds..,it sounds like u were fucking a virgin woman..,haha

[VituMV]

that doesnt look like a 2009, pipes would've been on your right side, not under the seat, BUT then again, you could change it.

[46ValRossi46]

Dude ... this is a 2009 Yamaha R-1 and the exhaust comes out under the seat from the factory ... the 2009 Yamaha R-6 comes out the side from the factory ;)

[VituMV]

apologies.... the new CBR1000 has the exhaust on the side, i was thinking too much on my food when i wrote that

[46ValRossi46]

Not a problem ... of the big 4 bike manufactures the Yamaha litre bike is the ONLY one that kept the exhaust under the seat ... Suzuki,Honda and Kawasaki all litre bikes are out the side ... I have the 2009 R-1 and this exhaust and it sounds just like ya hear ... BIG and BAD !

[VituMV]

the exhaust on the outside is def. horrible looking, that's why I got love for the Y, they know what they're doing. The new r1 is real nice looking but it looks way too short, maybe i gotta take a closer look at them at the store, maybe ill like them. But i got a question, do you get pulled over alot? even when you're not speeding? i want the 04-07 r1 but the cops where i live are just too racist to let a brazilian guy go without some cuffs.

[46ValRossi46]

Yes the rear of the bike does look rather short but it grows on ya ... I haven't been pulled yet for the sound BUT I have had several stare hard ... so I decided to put the silencers in :/

[cobra1one]

I could put this on my ipod and listen to it all day. It does sound like a muscle car. Dyno numbers would be nice though.

[beastinblack]

sounds like...a v twin! my hate affair with inline fours has finally ended! Hopefully the days of souless scream are over.

[BikeMann09]

Amazing vocals!

Sounds like a muscle car in the lower RPM range....

[Slim2491]

Beautiful Sounds..

[ringothebeast666]

i wanna ask smth is the rear seat affected by the hotness of slip-on ??

[sherman3232]

i have the new r1 and the same pipes an my ass does some what feel the heat at times

[DrumGod22]

How do you run a dyno? I know you take it from idle in 5th to red line and back down but I've seen others in diff gears and such, what's the pattern of it/ or the point?

[Jmartin2683]

the idea is to do roll-on runs (the ones you see posted on websites for top hp numbers a lot) in whatever gear is closest to 1:1 ratio, which on bikes is 4th gear. not from idle, but just above, maybe 3.5k rpm.

[46ValRossi46]

I just bought my 2009 RAVEN to-day and I WILL be adding this slip-on to it ASAP ! WOW !

[crazyrider321]

Its obvious really that most of the people like the looks of the bike, 99% of people love the sound of the bike and the people who matter who have ridden the bike don't have a bad word to say about it..

. As for the looks of it ,like all new models every new generation takes some gettin used to, then once your used to seein it it nearly always becomes fovourite over the old one...No dowt with a few tasty extras you can make the standard bike look alot better...

[farmerjon420]

wow that sounds as good as, dare i say my, vfr!

[dynamicz108]

Whoaa that sounds unbeleivable

[kiwibuilt]

I have the c/f cans on my black '09...ffs...aural porn!

[dynamicz108]

Are they slip on or a full system lol?

This will definately be ma next bike:L

[kiwibuilt]

Just the slip ons and joining pipe too.

[Neil197067]

I'VE HAD 4YAMS & 3zx10's-05,06,08. IF I GET 09 IT'LL BE YAMAHA. YAMAHA HAS ALLWAYS BEEN GOOD IT'S THE RIDERS WHO FAIL! BUY WHAT YOU LIKE STOP BASHING THE OTHERS-THEY'RE ALL GOOD!

[snoopyjon1]

I'm a Honda guy myself, I have the VTR1000 SP2 (or RC51 depending on which country you are in)... I love the sound of the twins.

However... This may be the bike that wins me back to the inline 4. I'm amazed at how good it sounds, just wish it didn't have the bug eyes...!

Now... What can I sell to give me enough money to buy one?! Anyone want to buy one of my kids? :-)

[TheMachRider]

don't sell the RC... that's the best looking, sounding, and riding bike ever. I loved the RC51 when I had it and miss it every time I think about riding.

[Kigoz4Life]

just an amazing bike, there is no words...

Yamaha R1 <3

[motogpfan46rossi]

way over 20 huh? im comparing the r1 to the other jap 1000's. if you can please tell me where your getting your info from. the r1 is in the low 150 range rwhp. are you saying the zx 10 and gsxr1000 are making over 170 at the rear wheel.. everything ive seen and read puts them both right at 160 rwhp... about the rossi thing.. yamaha won the constructors championship, fiat won the team championship and 3 of the 4 riders finished in the top 10 two of them in the top 5. j.t finished 11..

[runwhatyoubrung]

Great Sound! Two brothers gives so much more of a deeper tone compared to other aftermarket companies.

[1MeanMarine]

Great bike, great sound, this machine is going to blow all the other japanese manufacturers away this year. GO YAMAHA!!!!!

[motogpfan46rossi]

anyone who thinks 5 or 10 hp are what make a bike fast either dont know a thing about SPORTBIKES, have never actuallr "ridden" one. if you use 1/4 mile ets to back up your opinion or reason for buying one bike over another i am ashamed that my interests are in the same sport.. btw. what has kawasaki done in any of the top level racing lately? the new r1 just got pole and won 1 of the 2 world superbike races this year, and moto gp? i guess the m1 has a bullshit crank and firing order .gimmick.

[adamus995]

in motogp it is rossi not m1 in superbikes it spies not r1 and its not 5-10 hp its way over 20...

[motogpslider]

You are so correct! Rossi and Spies would win on ANY bike. This is verified by their team-mates who are barely in the top 10.

[motogpfan46rossi]

teammates barely in the top ten huh? do you not know who rossis teammate is and that he finished 4th and if i remember correcly colin edwards was also inside the top ten at 7 and james toseland in his rookie season finished 11. thats all four yamaha gp riders . looks to me like they all almost finished inside the top ten on the crappy yamaha that happened to sweep the podium twice last year. did rossi take all three positions himself..

[conradpazura]

jorge lorenzo is right behind rossi, dummy

[eas05f]

if only this was a better looking bike iwould buy it hands down

[SuperCombatWombat]

When I see posts from wangers that say that 150 rwhp isn't enough for them and they are going to buy something else with better numbers (adamus995)....It always makes me wonder how well they ride. Are there really that many guys that can utilize a bike like this to it's fullest??? Same goes for the guys spending $1,500 or more on a aftermarket exhaust system just to squeeze another 6-8hp out of a bike with 150...Posers, the lot of ya!!!!

[hgjisnfdlishdjthlre]

... half the time it's for looks and noise... not bhp.

[alin2300]

dude this bike is gonna rip the GSX1000 wait and see

[marknowhereman]

YAMAHA is the best indeed!

[osprey7997]

Please!!! can we get the results? i am buying a yellow one this weekend (p.s.- if u need insurance- go with AAA. they were $1500 a year cheaper than the other big names in Cali.) i had 2 bros. on my cbr600 and fricken loved it!!!!

[yamiman]

It doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks or says this exhaust is going my my '09 r1 right away. It sounds so great kinda turns a guy on haha. almost sounds like a V8

[jvrrwpco]

sounds insane!!! i'll be trading in my 05 ASAP!!

[ShamanWS6]

You know, how an engine makes its power does affect the dyno results. You may not believe this but I have seen engines that accelerate seconds faster through a gear but turn out lower numbers.

[sycomantz]

this thing sounds insane. i4/vtwin/v10/v8 all wrapped up in one.

[adamus995]

hahaha go to the site and check the hp.

The 09 r1 has less than 04-06 model (not mentioning the competition like gsxr and zx10). This whole fireing interval is one big stupid commercial slogan. If I want a bike which has a low power and sound different I would definietely choose a V-Twin over this shit

[bob787980]

Jeez you sound like a noob... HP is ONE piece of information when considering the whole picture of a motorcycle. If HP was the only thing that people wanted we'd all be riding a Boss Hoss. I advise you to stop comparing numbers and reading crap on-line and swing a leg over and experience it yourself. THEN you might be able to make a useful contribution in critiquing a bike.

[REDO5R1]

Instead of typing crap and acting like u know what your on about when u dont.Get off your lazy ass and go test ride the 09 r1.From what ive heard and read its going to be the best thing since sliced bread and all the other bikes are going to follow suit.

[destroyerbmx]

you are right, when I first saw this bike I was all about it, oh yeah 09 r1, then I started to compare the numbers and I got a 09 zx10. Fireing interval cant beat the fastest production bike ever can it? The answer is no if you are still thinking about it. A side note, the 09 r1 is still an awesome bike and it sounds amazing, but I decided to go with more power than sound or low end torque, if I need torque I will just ride where I have it, no use in riding in 3 and 4k r's, wind it out.

[r4360]

This four cylinder will cure my addiction for v8s, sounds just like one. Yes, a Miata with one of these crossplane cranks would cure my Hemi addiction.

[ProfessorIgor]

you know... call me crazy, but it sounds like a REALLY bad-ass VFR800.. I mean REALLLLY bad ass. That R1 folks, is a GREAT sounding motorcycle !!

[sycomantz]

kinda has a sound of a v10 in there as well.

this this is nasty

[duken4evr]

It sounds like a 1,000cc sport twin that can rev to 14,000 rpm.

This is the best development to hit the Japanese liter bikes since, well, the original R1 in 1998.

Badass. Simply badass.

[SteelJM1]

My 1000cc sport twin can rev to 12!

But it only makes 105 HP. But i'm smart enough to know that 105hp is plenty for the street.

[seang15243]

Someday, if Yamaha doesen't already have a patent on this "crossplane crank on an inline four" technology, it would be nice on a light little roadster like a miata. If any enthusiastic American engineers are reading this, lets beat the German's and Jap's to it why don't we.

[joonsuk88]

The MX-5 aka Miata aka Roadster (in Japan) is built by Mazda. Your comment seems contradictory.

[Chick6517]

ooo niiicee! i really like the music in this video.. it gives the whole thing a better feeling and makes it more.. um.. i dont wanna say entertaining because it was very entertaining.. but it gave it a little more something .. ya know.

[thereal2brothers]

Music? I guess when you think about it that 2009 R1 with our pipes is some kind of amazing instrument.

[NC30mad]

at bout 9 seconds...

[kunal76]

Sounds like a V8!

[SmoodLee]

that sounds awesome

[Bigdug70]

Nice!! Are u guys every going to come out

with the full system for 07 cbr 1000rr? I have the slip-on

[papawolfe1984]

well im sold.

[r1ravenr6raven]

i cant wait 2get my new r1 and these will b the pipes i will use!!! sounds great!!!

[dirtbikegy]

More videos please!

[crazyspagirl]

why is there no 09 r1 videos from just regular folks?

[thereal2brothers]

I'm regular...most of the time anyway.

[JohnnyInsano]

these are just the slip-ons in the video?

[thereal2brothers]

Yes, just our dual slip-on system.

[yalexfumi46]

172 hp

[R1SUPERGOD]

how good does it sound and how loud is it.

[thereal2brothers]

Turn up your volume and hear for yourself. ;-)
