Welcome My New Bike and Review - Sort Of | 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 

minus the driving lights ,best looking bike. this is the mid version now, their is a 2016 one called the R1s same bike minus some exotic materials, Titanium rods, Magnesium engine covers etc and a quick shifter($199 bolt on accessory yamaha in shop)

Man I rode one of these as soon as the shop got it in best thing I've ever ridden will be buying one in September I can't wait lol few more months on my zx6r

Thanks for the great review! This and the H2 are definately my favorites at the moment.. I love that R1 sound though *-* Keep making these vlogs, I like them a lot ;)

beautiful bike dude, yeah..I would have gone with the red too

How would this thing do for a daily commuting? thinking 3-4 days a week. 40mins each way. Seen some other guys say they changed the seat though.

perfect color. I have a 2009 in red and white. Good for you man.

great vid man, i enjoyed it...i just picked up a 2011 796 hypermotard and it has new michelins that offer soso grip at best so what im going to do is just get the pirelli front tire to bring back that confidence or maybe a bridgestone i havnt decided yet...and you really down play the off the charts type power this bike has...what did you hit like 10% throttle the entire video? haha that thing is be beyond faster than hell

Congrats on your new R1! I plan on getting one next year in blue though : ) Great review/vlog. Just ran into your channel +1 sub . Quick questions: how comfy is it around town? How you liking the LCD screen? Judging by the size of the back seat I'm assuming you could hardly fit anything in there right? Anything bad you could say about the bike?

Nice, I like it. Is the quick shifter for up and down both?? If so, hats off......

Great video! And great bike of course ;) Can you tell me please, what's the song in the beginning?

love the bike, love the channel name

Ya I have the red ,live in pepperell .great bike isn't it , love the thing !!

Is it a DD/commuter? What kind of temperatures do you ride in? What kind of heat comes of the exhaust cat? What your weight, Did u dial the suspension? What is your feedback on the suspension (for the street)

Great video! How did you record so well your voice?

Looking at buying one of these .. Might see you around recognize these fine mass /nh roads . I live about 10 min from these roads

Yamaha rocks man!

Great video man! i have a little question: how the bars are? i mean: i heard about some of my friends suffering for the bars because they are so closed and so angled. some of them has thought to change bars with ones more opend to strain less the wrists. what do you think about? (sorry for my english, i'm italian and i'm not so good) anyway very good video, very clear and well done!

Im gonna use it for track days and such but most of the miles will be on the streets. Like weekend runs with my buddies and the occasional commute to work. So how is it comfort wise? I know about the seat and Im not concerned because those are easy to change. Im between this and the S1000RR.

How could you pick the red over blue or black! You need to mod it to get your full power back.

How is the bike on low power? 600ish? Do u believe its low enough to get used to the bikes power for a rider that has some experience?

I'm looking to buy a 2015 Yamaha R1 do you still own yours? How do you like it? Any issues? Should I be worried about the recall that was on them?

200bhp? Cmon man... You know it's not putting 200hp to the wheel... Beautiful bike anyway... I was pretty close to getting one, but settled on an 08 zx10r.. Which puts about 165-170hp to the wheel... Plenty of bike for me.

Hey buddy need some help, can't figure it out i m looking for sport motorcyle like yeah yamaha R1 or R6 but has to be cheaper can you give me some suggestion

Congrats

+TheNoodleRacer is it a good commuting bike?

Dude what about an aftermarket can?!

Awesome ride dude - I got the 2015 black - got the full akrapovic and sounds like a beast ! Check it out ;) Keep the great vlogs coming - sub for you !!!

Wow they really changed the headlights on the R1! I like the look man very sexy bike. Grats to you! Got a sub from me. Check me out and sub back if you enjoyed my content! Ride safe!

Hey for anyone looking at buying a bike and haven't ever had one before please don't listen to this guy or anyone else that tells you not to start out on a 1000/600 that's bullshit it really is there is no proven data that riding a 1000 is more dangerous that a 300 just because it has more power doesn't mean anything the way the new 1000s are they are more than likely the safest option over a 300 or 600 because if the traction control wheelie control and slide control only 1 or 2 600s offer a simple version of traction control and abs and nothing else I have been riding for years my first bike was a gsxr 1000 I race now and consistently do alright I'm only in the semi pro league but it just goes to show that you don't need to learn to corner on a 300 to be any good and just because something has more horse power doesn't mean it's any more dangerous what makes it more dangerous the fact you might spin out or pop a wheelie that's ludicrous no bike is any safer than any other bike I think a 1000 might be better than a 300 they are heavier so they're more stable they have more torque so you can power your way out of a situation the tires are far wider so you have more grip not to mention all the rider aids that come with most 1000s nowadays so don't listen to the bullshit I honestly think guys want to keep this Bullshit legend alive is because they want to feel superior to you and tell you that they can handle something you can't they have the skills necessary and you don't or the other reason is they were dumb enough to buy a 300 for there first bike so they feel the need to make other people make the same mistake they did unless your dream bike is a 300 don't buy one to start out with you will outgrow it in a month and do stupider things on it than you would on a 600/1000 because you will not have any respect for the 300 so trust me get your dream bike I don't care if it's a ninja H2 or a hayabusa please do yourself a huge favor and just get your dream bike whatever that might be just get frame sliders and a decent jacket and boots and you will be fine and if you don't believe me do some research on motorcycle wrecks and compare the different size motorcycles and there age and you will be very hard pressed to find any patterns at all if 1000s and other super sports were much more dangerous you would see a much higher number of wrecks involving those sort of bikes but you just don't at all and it's because it's nonsense you can lean everything you need to know to safety learn to ride a 1000 in a parking lot in an hour or so no problem trust me so many of these dudes that you think mean you well don't they want to belittle you and make you feel like you need to be Mark Marquez to ride a 1000 and you just don't need to be at all it's just not a tough thing to do at all it's so incredibly easy to learn to ride and another absolutely great reason to start off with your dream bike is to learn to control the power of you have the power from day one and it's the only bike you know you will learn so much better about all the ins and outs of that specific bike so if you don't wanna take my advice or want more proof that it's completely fine to start on any bike you want Facebook me and i will forward you around to some of the guys in my racing league that will have my back on this issue I have discussed it with many fellow riders and racers and 9 times out of ten they agree with me and the other time I convince them to see it my way it just makes me so pissed off when guys try to put down beginners by telling them they aren't good enough to start on a super sport when you absolutely are so please don't make the same mistakes as so many other guys do and take advice from guys just putting you down trust me get your dream bike whatever that might be and learn to ride on that go to a big empty parking lot or an abandoned subdivision and practice emergency breaking and emergency speeding off out the way and swerving out of the way of big holes or cars and you will be 100% fine and as long as you respect the bike and don't ride past your comfort level especially if you are with a big group of riders and they are showing off and stuff don't over extend yourself that's the quickest way to wreck you can always catch up trust me but please take my advice people and let's stop the stupid cycle of small bikes to start on just because they are "safer" when in reality they are not at all thanks sorry for such a long comment but it really gets to me

You do know that naming a vehicle is what girls do right?

Annnnd Yamaha fucked the look up well done.

Older gen still looks better IMO :)

Theres so many better options...

this bike look cheap a copycat of the ducati 899 1199 1299
