MCN Roadtest: 2009 Yamaha R1 onboard lap

BEST BIKE EVER BUILD.

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

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.

on the track and not straight away right?

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!!!

boxer engine??

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!!!
