Bought my 2008 bike after owning a 2004 R1, both bikes are awesome machines, but you need to be a good rider to get the most from them, they are easy to ride below 7000 rpm if you've not been riding big bikes for long......but after 7k.....10k...rpm....things get ballistic, so like I said, beware. ...

I am in the process of purchasing a Yamaha R1. I have tested it and to be honest it fits the field perfectly. Ok it could have fine tuning here and there but name me a bike that isn't super that does not have its flaws! this at around £3000 is a steal and you are not going to find much better ...

A great machine. Its RAW. I'm very happy with my 99 Blue R1. Power to weight & power-to-price. Timeless look. Get the Blue one.

I love the Yamaha R1, owned a 2005 and rode it for 15,000 miles with no problems. Just bought a 2008 black R1 and I love it even more. My main complaint is the uncomfortable shared seat.

This is my second Yamaha YFZ R1. My first one was a 1999. The new steering damper makes all of the difference in the world in handling for me! The '99 was squirlly when you hit hard throttle coming out of the corners. The 2005 is on a rail...
Tires are a riders preference of course... For me, the M ...

I love my Yamaha R1! She is the most beautiful thing in the world and she excites me. I went to the south of France on it last year, it became a second skin. Mine's 5 years old now, but I can't sell it. The build quality is superb, the finish is excellent, the brakes are keen, the motor is formidabl ...

Nice looking bike. I'm used to motorcross bikes from a very young age, The Yamaha YZF-R1 was the first road bike I rode and loved it. I weigh 16 stone and found the power is awesome, to say that the front end comes up in the air with my weight as far forward as possible in 3rd gear from approx. 40mp ...

I love this bike with a passion it does everything I ask it to and more, all my mates have GXS 1000 and keep trying to get me to convert, they've got no chance, its going to be a sad day when we part company. It might have a noisy clutch at tick over, but the handling, style, build quality and power ...

Even for an experienced rider, this bike will scare you due to the power delivery.
I had a competition with a Porsche boxer and sadly I left it in smoke.. where cars should be, behind the most beautiful bike ever built!
