2009 R1 (Short Edit) OnBoard

I spliced together some clips. Nothing fast (still breaking the bike in), but you should get to hear the engine some :)

The bike is completely stock at the moment. Onboard video shot with a Canon FS100.

Dude you dont need to shift so early its a 1000cc it does 90 in 3rd gear lol

@1488skinxhead1 Oh yeah, I know. It will do 100 in 1st. This was during the break in (pretty much just got the thing) so I was taking it a bit more easy.

@soap0688 Google "break in secrets"...Not saying you or anyone should do it that way or anything, just that you may find it an interesting read.After reading up on it myself this past week or so, i`ve decided i`m gonna do it that way when i get my new bike.

@CaptainTurkeyGiblets I've been told the best way to achieve peak HP from a new engine is to have it run in on a dyno. I am considering doing this for my next :)

@soap0688 definately on the look out for one

@f44life Third sportbike. 600RR, GSX-R750, then this. You should be able to find a new 09-11 year R1 for 10 grand or less brand new. I imagine there are some used ones in circulation now, also. I've done CSS on the S1000RR and it's a beast, but the crossplane is definitely more street-friendly. Ride one if you get a chance. I liked mine more and more as the miles piled on.

@soap0688 id rather stretch the chain a little then wear on the clutch...is this your first sportbike? ive had an 00f4 and a 07cbr1000rr...I just love the sound of the crossplane...but damn there alot more expensive then the regular inline 4...i guess i would have to ride one then i would be sold to spend a couple more grand

[soap0688]

@f44life It can be, but I wasn't getting the RPMs up high enough during break in to smoothly to clutchless shifts. I've noticed they seem to stretch the chain a little quicker when done often, even if they're clean. I usually don't need to. Thanks for watching. Although I keep saying it, I really do aim to have track footage this season.

shift without the clutch, its smoother
