What is it with people making comments about the guys riding. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing is what i was taught. Anyways, great sounding bike mate, it looks like you are having a real blast on it. Please keep sharing the vids, some of us are grateful.

@and17y1 the engine configuration is still an inline ("straight") four, but the crankshaft is rotated with uneven firing order. That's all :p

@soap0688 hey man i red a lot about the new angine of the R1 after year 2009 and yamaha change the advantage of the connecting rods that what makes the crazy engine with a sound like a V4 engine or V2, and its makes the engine with a lot more Torque in very high speed. enjoy your beautiful R1.

@mosery77 It is a straight 4, but with uneven firing order. I think the only bike in the class with a V4 right now is the Aprilia.

@zelatur I was just talking about the liter sportbike class. The VFR is almost in a class of its own :)

what kind of exhaust did you put on there? it sounds beast! and thats a great spot for riding. sunny days in MD are perfect for riding

@theHansinator This is still stock exhaust. The bike has changed a lot since this video, and I have some good footage but I haven't edited it all yet. Eventually I will put up a larger, more up to date video. The pipes I have now are the Akrapovic slip ons and the Y-pipe (with DB eaters out). There are several videos on YouTube of these pipes...I recommend checking them out :)
