Yamaha R1 2015 

Who are you to tell someone what bike to ride on the street is wrong or not? GTFO

@Nic it's called opinion. who are you to tell someone GTFO for their opinion?

Brian Evans We realise, but that hasn't ben't stopped it becoming KNOWN as the Big Bang R1, at least here in SA. Perhaps we should explain in more details sometime. Btw, Yamaha's people were referring to it that way as well!

maybe its the remarkable name for r1..as not all people know crossplane and flatplane..

I agree

The new one mechanically is great but on the looks the designers didnt do a good job

Rocknium1 i think almost everyone thinks that but if u see it in person it will grow on u

yes

NZsarge1 the bmw in the us is 16k the h2 is 25 and am not sure about the new r1 but i think its about 15 or 16k

There ia one problem my friend is a duck nut, he just loves them ! will not buy anything but a duck. Now me i would never buy one and why? His is allways in the shop. Problems all the time it's in the shop more then on the road. And for that kind of money i want something reliable!! We had a talk and he says it's like a ferrari you have the looks but you all so have the problems. His 1199 Panigale was in the shop 9 times. Electrical problems, brake, fairings on the bottom by the exhaust melted and all so they for got to put a hole to see the oil glass, you have to take the fairings off the bike to see the oil glass, and then we have the recall problems. Now he has the 1299 i want to see how many times it goes in. we are going to make a list. Now i have had 3 r1 2001, 2007,2009 only problem on one bike was the 2009 had a few recalls main one was the cam chain tensioner. and the light need to be replaced as a recall something about heat problems. Now that is it. The 2001 and the 2007 no problems. I still have the 2009 and will keep it love the bike after i had the ECU flashed. If you do not it was to slow, after the flash it's crazy fast!. Now i am waiting for my new 2015 r1 and we will see about how many times it goes in for problems. My friend and i have a bet on who will have the most. I thin k i will win the $100.00 on the bet. I am not hateing the duck i just can't see that much money and it's in the shop more then on the road. Two more things his dash went out lucky it was under warranty, they told him it was around $800.00 . Also the gas tanks are plastic and the do not like ethanol, the tank will start to reshape (warp) from the ethanol. so you have to buy a aluminum tank and he was told just under $1000.00. Well just so you know i love all sportbikes i just can't see that much money for problems. Now i am not saying that bikes do not have problems they all do. But i think you get the picture of what i am saying. Have a great night and i hope i did not make any one mad, it's just me and my friend talking about are bikes. static age

It may be alittle hard to read my dam computer keys stick. It's old sorry.greeek777

Stewart Hoffman no sir your wrong, the new R1 is 16,000 plus tax...the R1m is 21K plus tax and the R1s is 13K and standard R1 is staying at 16k

My husband is now deceased so that's for saying how wrong he is.

Stewart Hoffman Its nothing personal TRUSt ME and I'm dearly sorry for your lost my apologies... sorry again.

redrocco44 It's still there, just gone white a bit early, so in some light it looks like it's gone altogether. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

What bike is less then 10 grand ? Are you smoking crazy crack rock? And what bike caliber over 100,000? Your joking right?

you guys really lucky. At malaysia this bike included tax it around rm130k and above. That for r1 price. Damn tax

streetfaster 2007-2011 R1 throttle sucks.. 2009-14 R1 too heavy and not enough power.. So 2015+ is worlds better
