2021 Yamaha R1 - Thoughts after a week of ownership 

Nice bike. I'd choose the R1 over the S1000RR on the exhaust sound alone.

Bought the 2021 R1 a few months back and absolutely love it!

I had the 2019 r1m and loved it, it is an awesome motorcycle. my upgrades were , sprint p08f1 filter, racefit 3 quarter titanium exhaust, twm levers, 43 tooth talon rear sprocket, puig double bubble screen, lithium battery, ecu flash and dyno tune for 190 rear wheel power. It was in my opinion, better than the s1000rr m sport just because it was more fun to thrash at wide open throttle and had that low down torque that would make the front wheel lift up in the first 3 gears on the flat level road, the exhaust sound and engine characteristics are this bikes unique selling points. It did have some flaws though, it would understeer in tight corners, so you need to be aware and get your body position right as you approach those tight bends to make it easier to stay on the road instead of in a field or over a cliffside, the brakes are not up to the job for fast riders- they need upgrading to after market brembo and pull the abs fuse out of the fuse box. the transition on clutchless downshifting through the gearbox from second gear to first could be difficult and result in a crunch and no downshift or a false neutral- fit a racetorx (or other brand) gearshift support to help reduce those issues. on the 2019 the throttle was choppy and jerky at on/off throttle transitions and was worse at low speed while trying to manoeuvre slowly in a bend at a junction. The s1000rr m sport was smooth on the throttle in all these areas mentioned above and is a great road bike and feels almost perfect in every way but as a former owner, it looks cheap in the plastics and the suspension components and even the carbon wheels are cheap looking compared to bst wheels. it seems to limit power in the first quarter of the throttle range in the first 3 gears because it is so damn smooth and lacking power that it seems the electronics are set that way to stop idiots from giving it a hand full of throttle and high siding the bike. it is lightweight and easy to flick from side to side, fast and capable but does it all without any feeling of fun and doesn't get your adrenaline flowing. possibly a perfect bike for the isle of mann tt.

I daily my 2021 R1M. Currently all stock, but going to slap on the same exhaust setup my previous 2016 R1 had, which was cat delete Akrapovic midpipe to a TBR muffler with no baffle. Sounded beautiful, retained the signature angry, deep aggressive crossplane tone while being absurdly loud under full load. Looking forward to it.

I love my lil 2012 model R1!! One day I’ll be able to keep up with you guys with the current year we are in Model Bike 🙏 😊

Just put deposit on a 2024 R1. Florida drivers in NYS also are lousy; had one pass me while paying a toll on bridge.

I’ve got 8k miles on my 2020, A mode is a good time 👌

Have the exact same bike! So much fun!

Cool review. I’m getting a 2023 R1 next week. I still can’t decide between black or blue.Yamaha Blue is classic R1 color but black is timeless, aren’t many black R1’s around and it matches anything gear your wear or graphics

I had the previous Gen R1 Rossi edition. Loved my bike, but eventually sold it. While I love R1 forever those S1000RR are mean and have gotten much nicer in the design.

Love From India 🇮🇳

I also had a 04 R1, last week I ordered the 2022 R1 should have it February, great video man 💙

the think what the r1 has over all the other super sports is that engine character with the xplane crank is so unique and awesome. in my opinion the only competition is the aprilia rsv4 and panigale v4. i got an mt10 because of the engine alone because im not a fan of the looks very much..

Mine is a 2020 Yamaha R1, 8-month of ownership with lots of mods

I live in Florida myself. Gainesville area and often in Jacksonville. After a few run ins with cars. I’ve smashed mirrors and came to conclusion they see us most times and just don’t care. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT BIKES! Lol. And most people who hate on R1 have never rode em and don’t understand them at all. And lots of em I think talk shit because everyone else does. People say they aren’t reliable. But how can they say this when they never owned em. I mean it blows my mind. Treat them rite and Yamaha has always been known to be reliable. I’m a gixxer guy and still love R1. Nothing is punk about the R1. It has a big name for a reason dude✊🏽🖕🏽 fuck these people lmao

I have a 2020s1000rr I sold my 2018 r1 for it and I am going this coming week to buy a 2021 r1 again r1 is the best bike to me and I've rode everything besides the new rsv4

Very good video! And what a beautiful bike :)

I kinda like the wind noise it's like sitting in a middle of a tornado or somethin.

I have a 04 R1, thinking its time for an upgrade

I’m planning on getting the bmw s1000rr M, live in the mountains of NC..

I’m honestly too busy trying to look at your watch. 😆🤙 Nice bike also.

I think the R1 is the best looking liter back with the RSV4. As for the dash, I absolutely agree, 6yrs old dash is due for an upgrade.

Cold start...what does everyone's sound like. I almost get the thought of a lifter tapping

Awesome! I want an R1 so bad. Maybe soon 🙏🏼

I don’t like sport bikes but I do respect them. I am a Yamaha fan and owner so I do find the R1 awesome. But how is an R1 the best bang for your buck?

Yo man hit that sun button just started Moto vlog myself keep up the grind

The sexiest bike on the market right now Kawasaki looks like something from out of Transformers Honda is not looking so good either Suzuki 600 is not too bad So that leaves us with BMW and Yamaha BMW is a wonderful bike a beautiful bike but the problem that we're having with BMW is it is too expensive. So with that said I strongly believe that Yamaha is definitely the sexiest bike

Lean angle in Florida: 3° in the Walmart parking lot. 😁

From Yamaha, just don't keep it at full throttle. You can put your bike in A mode and it won't cause any issues, honestly.

Need to get the clear coat protection on it and a 3/4 exhaust system then you will be good

Yes..Handsome looking bike or aestheticly SEXY..Yamaha does not immitate but just being original without trying so hard..😻😎🤩

I’m get the R7 first then a few year later I’ll get the R1M if not r1. And I do love the color blue

Great content!!! Are you in the Tampa Bay area?

intro music??

Motor idaman R1 , FROM INDONESIA

The CBR R 1000 RR Fireblade is one of my oops, wrong channel

👍👍🏽👍👍🏽👍👍🏽

Nice video ❤️ keep it up

How are the ergonomics? Comfortable enough?

are you using a GoPro and if so what mic are you using thanks

That’s a huge watch😂

If you can please get the ECU flash From Bren tuning for your R1

is it as uncomfortable as everyone sooks about?

Audio muffled brother

Yooo man! You go to pure power sports bike nights?

god damn holy shit i recognize that ikea. Thats wild

best looking bike :D

how's the seating position comfort wise?

I have the 2021 which exhaust do you plan on going with???

I say "um" an awful lot. Sorry about that.

lmfao, Florida bro... i dint even ride much anymore, almost got run over soo many times! have to be DEFENSIVE ASF

I'm really confused btwn Panigale V4 and R1, can anyone suggest the right one?

The BMW S1000RR engine is really buzzy. It has tons of vibration. I don't like that bike. R1 is a way better bang for the buck bike. Also BMW had loads of issues and recalls with s1000rr in the past. Great choice. I'm gonna ditch my SUZUKI GSXR1000 2015 real soon and buy the black R1

id never want part of a liter bike

audio is terrible

sorry BMW sucks, lol enjoy the least reliable along with the Italian lot... no seriously, get Japanese and you can be sure it will start every time you try to fire that thing up.

yeah you should of got the bmw

Ride it like you stole it!!! If it scares you?🤣🤣🤣go back to a 600 ya SQUID!!!
