NEW MOTORBIKE REVIEW
YAMAHA YZF-R1 - RAZORLIGHT

* What’s It all About?
Yamaha’s 2009 YZF-R1 comes equipped for but one task – wresting the litre superbike crown from the Suzuki GSXR-1000. This elite sector of the superbike market runs in definite phases. The Honda Fireblade ruled the roost for some years, followed by the Yamaha R1, which was in turn deposed by the Kawasaki ZX10R before the Suzuki took its position at the top of the podium. Yamaha now reckons it’s time to depose the ‘Gixxer’.

Its secret weapon is GENICH which, if you can believe it, represents the ‘Genesis in Electronic engineering aimed at New, Innovative Control technology based on Human sensibilities’. Only in Japan. What this means in normal language is that Yamaha has recognised that there’s a limit to the inputs a human rider can process and that some bike technologies were exceeding those limits. The new-generation Yamaha R1 runs with an all-new Deltabox chassis offering an idealized rigidity balance.

* What Does It Cost?
You’ll need around £9,000 if you’re to swing your leg over one of these, although it’s not hard to see where your money has gone. The detailing is a lot smarter than the outgoing R1 with the muscular bodywork aping the sharply creased edges of the Yamaha YZF-R6. Six-pot callipers grab the front discs, revised headlights give a longer dipped beam light throw and the finish on the instrument binnacle is clearly tidier. Weight has crept up by 3kg and there are three colour choices, the classic Yamaha red and white combo plus blue and black.

* How Does It Handle?
Intelligently in a word. With every generation of sports bike we tend to hear how frames have got stiffer, brakes bigger and so on. Yamaha has removed itself from this brain-out feeding frenzy and looked at what we want from a race replica bike. The Japanese company discovered that we want to go fast, naturally, but at the same time we don’t want to feel scared, overwhelmed or just plain out of the feedback loop.

Therefore this generation R1 notches back the stiffness of the frame spars a little to offer more feedback. The swing arm, head stock castings and engine mounts are beefed up but Yamaha claims the end result is a more intuitive feel for what the tyre contact patch is up to.

The all-new 998cc inline four-cylinder engine with a crossplane crankshaft feels and sounds smoother than ever, and emits an unforgettable growl from the exhaust. This MotoGP-inspired engine is without a doubt the most technologically advanced powerplant ever seen on a Yamaha supersport bike. A slipper clutch is also fitted to permit silkier downchanges.

* Verdict
Forget about the on-paper figures, the 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 has been designed not to grab cheap column inches but instead to make big power accessible more of the time. So many supersports bike makers seem to have forgotten about the typical skill levels of the target buyer. The R1 hasn’t gone soft. It just got smarter.

After a varied bike history over 15 years I brought a 2002 model R1. This is my 2nd R1 as I had previously owned an original 1998 model and later a Ducati 996S.
Making the swap back to an inline four was a bigger change than I'd imagined as the Ducatis twin engine delivered power so well from low down.
However my choice was made and I quickly refreshed myself with the R1 with happy results.
The 2002 fuel injected engine is so smooth and revs cleanly through the range providing a useable spread of power which can be used confidently without getting into too much trouble. I fitted a Remus Titainium exhaust system which releases a few extra bhp but I really fitted it for the beautiful crisp note and stunning looks. The build quailty is also top notch.
As with previous 'R' series bikes the bodywork fits well and is simple to remove for the purposes of cleaning etc, not a huge amount of storage room but then it is a no compromise sorts bike.
So back to the important stuff, Handling.. well the 2002 R1 lives up to it's reputation and is at home flowing through twisty A roads however it really comes into it's own on track. I still ride mine on its original suspension settings and the bike holds it's line beautifully. I run Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3s which give great feedback and are sticky enough for fast group track day riding. If I had to critise one thing with this bike it would be that the front end is still very light and when really putting the power down in low gears the bar may twitch a little. This was the same with the 1998 model but probably depends alot on your riding style. Either way this can be quickly cured by fitting a steering damper. I haven't as I like the feedback through the bars.
The brakes are still fantastic..enough said!
Finally.. looks! Well in my opinion the 02/03 model looks sharp clean and lightweight. It still has those intimidating sloping headlights and the addition of the slimline led rear is sharp and aggresive.

I enjoy riding this bike and even though there are newer, lighter and more powerful versions around, in the right hands it is as good as any of them.
My bike has the following:
2005 Rossi Valencia Paint Job
Renthal Grips + Sprockets
Remus Titainium Exhaust with Harris Hanger
Tail tidy and coloured undertray
Pazzo racing brake levers
Quick action throttle

Yamaha R1

My second R1 of this vintage actually a '99 model, fantastic handling and power for the year.
I owned an '05 new model for a while but did not find it as confidence building as this model, it did have more power but if you can't get it down on the road whats the point?
These bikes are pretty bullet proof mechanically as well, not like my pals MV Augusta, that old piece of poop never seems to be working.
Go on you know it makes sense, get yourself an R1 at have some wheelie good fun.

I have one of the injected R1's and bought it after a few years on a VFR800 as I wanted something a little sportier. The handling is superb and the bike feels very light and quck steering. It's pretty easy to find yourself turning in too early as it steers much quicker than my old sports tourer.
The bars do have a tendency to wag as the front goes light under hard acceleration but this is by no means a problem, just something to be aware of. The engine is an absolute beauty and has good usable power throughout the range but goes bananas around 9k rpm and lifts the front in 3rd. Still too scared to try those revs in 4th as God knows what speed it would be doing! The brakes don't feel that impressive but they do stop you very well so that's more down to me than the bike. Overall I love the R1. It's a way better bike than I'll ever be a rider, looks drop dead gorgeous and is far more comfy than I expected. I would buy another one and would recomend one to an experienced rider looking for a litre sportsbike.

After a long abstinence I started back with firstly a bandit 1200, then the R1. There was no contest. This is THE bike. The bike for the rider, not poser. The dealer in Oxford said it's previous owner had kept it in his lounge and with his emigrating to Australia, these were 2 great reasons to snap up a top bike!

That was back in 2003 and after 5 years and 20,000 miles later I have not regretted a single moment, this bike is still the business. I ride fast and hard most of the time and the R1 can take anything thrown at it, more than I can get near. It purrs through towns like a cat and once let loose on an open road nothing will keep up with it's acceleration or sheer pace. On a recent 5 day run through France and Spain it clocked 2500 miles without missing a single beat, just as comfortable sweeping round hairpins in Andorra as blasting along those endless "route nationales" at nearly double the limit. (Not really Officer). It's no wonder Nick Saunders uses one for his round the world records. All I did was lube the chain each morning!

With a K & N air filter, double bubble, Blue Flame silencer and an upgraded front brake system I have as much power as I'll ever need, the sound to match and perfect stopping ability. I service the R1 every 6 months and use semi-synthetic good quality engine oil.

Unlike most bikes, the fairings have quarter turn screws and with the customary rear paddock stand, cleaning and maintenance is a doddle.

I have considered changing for a newer bike, only because of mileage but quite honestly I don't think I would find anything else that brings such a sheer delight to ride.

Brilliant bike, had mine for 7 years and 40,000 miles!
Steering damper very good idea, also uprated fork springs.
I like diablo 3's.
Mine also has Micron system / filter & dynojet; 146 BHP @ rear.
Does the odd track day, 800 miles a day touring! and 179 MPH (officer!).
Likes a drop to drink when thrashed (litre in 1200 miles) but will still do 150 plus miles on a tank of petrol.
Oh; you want the blue one!

Fantastic bike, lots of grunt with superb handling and good brakes. Only bad point being too much travel with the standard forks setup, just change the fork springs for progressive ones, set the suspension up properly and enjoy !!

Presently on my second '98 R1, first one handled ok, very light/flickable, but squishy suspension. Second one handling vastly improved after spending £800 on Ohlins shock and fork internals...feels stable and firm, nervousness/vagueness gone, turns-in a dream, corner speed/lean angle phenomenal (on Diablos)...to sum up just hugely confidence-inspiring. If you want to go faster highly recommend spending dosh improving chassis BEFORE engine upgrades.
