Yamaha YZF R1 Crossplane on top speed in traffic

I took my Yamaha R1 on the N14 highway today. Used the goPro Hero camera. It was fun driving through traffic at high speed. Only managed to reach 296km/h. The speedometer max is 299km/h. Not sure what true speed will be. The bike's sound is brilliant but was a bit damped by the camera's wind protection. By the way I work for Tremendis. Please check out our site.

"all the gear and no idea" that must be 1 bored r1! give your bike a treat and show it some cornering instead of jumping in front of the camera like a gaylord at a bumfest and tearing down a straight,no riding skills needed here!!i love catching up with bawbags like you when out here in glasgow,nothing better than putting a straight liner in their place,CORNERS!!!!!!!!!!

@aiderandevan... I find it amazing that you go through all this effort to insult and attack the rider if you have no clue of his intention of this particular ride and of a 5 minute deliberate straight line video.

@releaseandcapture... The crossplane motor has a more even acceleration and has more torque. I must admit, I really love this bike. I also have a KTM RC8 R and will probably do a video for it soon. But the R1 Crossplane is special. Maybe you should take one for a test drive. Remember to switch it in A mode. That is the performance setting.

Hypocritical complaining about straight line speed is always good for a laugh. You guys ride 125cc bikes, right? Didn't think so. But yeah, music volume needs to be lower. Also, the vid title was pretty clear, so you clowns knew what you were clicking.

Wooohoo!! Crazy video man! I also have a yamaha 2010 r1 crossplane, here in Brazil. My best bike than ever. You really have balls to ride like this way, into those cars! Awesome video! Congratulation!!

Wow wee that is some serious straight line riding. Well done for being able to turn a throttle.
