First Ride on a Yamaha R1 

Nice video review. I definitely want a cross-plain R1. I have never ridden one so I really like your demonstration of its low end acceleration, thank you. I had a 99 R1 and an 07 R1. I have a 21'GSXR1000R now which is a great daily, but the R1 is for those special rides when there are corners to rip! 1000cc sportbikes are my favorite motorcycles. Here are my favorite bikes out of the bikes I have owned: my current bike, the 21'GSXR1000R, 08 ZX10R, 07 R1, 03 GSXR1000, 99 R1, 98 ZX9R, 98 GSXR600, and an 86 GSXR1100. I have been riding for 42 years now and I have owned other bikes that were special to me, but those were my favorites. Lots of memories. I used to ride a lot more back then, it's harder to find the time now. Thanks for listening and thank you for the video.

The best thing I've ever bought dude, its frickin awesome

i've owned 2 r6, a gsxr 600, and a fz-07. my dream bike is an r1. and i'm hoping to get one before the end of the year. especially now since they are discontinuing it for street production

HP is addictive. This bike should be super fun on a weekend cafe run.

Amazing bike, never ridden an R1 but would love to…. I almost bought an MT10 a couple of years ago.

Man I’d die on that thing, too tempting sitting on 110 when I know the bike can do 300kph.

My 650 feels like it's excessive for the roads, can't imagine what one of these would be like 😆

does it goes vroom vroom?

Is the fear alot of people say about litre bikes being too much bike , warrented ? Obviously they dont need to be on the street, but the way some describe litre bikes, makes them sound like an untameable beast

If ur that inexperienced at riding superbikes maybe commenting on them is not a good idea , to say a late model r1 is comparable to a 15 yr old gsx-r is wrong the only thing similar is that they both got 2 wheels

Very cool bike 😎 But yeah nah

R1 is Going to be discontinued soon..😐.. it's an official announcement by Yamaha
