The ONLY Type of Person Who Should Get a Yamaha R1...

I think the problem is the red fairings make it hard to enjoy whats supposed to be a good looking bike.

Red is an ugly color for any vehicle.

I wish they still did the high mount for exhaust

Mountain Bike gloves. He understands R1 lol ok.

"It's a really good vibe" - This is when I realized he is a 19 year old girl.

I just got this bike 2023 still Awsome

Cruising in Austin Tx nice road

What year is the r1 in the video?

I just got the 2016 r1s and yes I will say though I used to daily ride it’s more of a weekend toy especially since having my daughter 🎉

love this video and the chatter, thanks R1 makes daddy feel good too.

dude sounds like 450 dirtbike, I personally like the sound of the 06/07 R1

I’m hitting my max on 08 fz6 at 153 mph. I commute daily 15+ miles so I now need an r1

yawn

So the ONLY type of person is say, lots of folks. 😅 Super helpful to hear you say its forgiving, easy to ride casual, and manageable as a weekender. Yeah it's more than capable track-side, but the "left & right side of the brain" as far as reliable, reasonable maintenance costs, beautiful looking sounds, it checks a lot of my boxes. I'm coming from a 996 desmo Ducati and they can have those maintenance intervals and costs.

I've been riding my entire life from dirt bike's to liter rockets to harley's and a biker is a biker no matter the kinda bike. Ride safe m'fers👍🏻

There a great first bike.

To me this Yamaha R1 is more beautiful than any Ducati.

I started on a R6 and a year later bought a R1. Night and day difference between the two. The R1 is retarded fast.

Just loooook at it!

What a gay bike

Having rode my first liter bike last month S1000RR I debate about getting a liter bike eventually to ride around daily. An then dedicate my ZX6R to mainly track days. Does it make any sense aside from I fit a little better on it being a bigger guy. Absolutely not especially for the street except for two points. When in the back roads I won’t be at as high rpms to annoy nearby houses. But other than that supersports just make me happy. In my early 20’s I had to give up racing cars for personal reasons. An now at 34 and having a mortgage (grateful), a car is just too expensive to build, maintain, and store. Being so passionate about racing is why I got into Mechanical Engineering. Not being involved at all in motorsports really made me depressed deep down. That’s why I tell people owning supersports is not the smartest choice especially for the street or for your safety. But for me the feeling I get is that important to me. I don’t want to become the next Rossi. I just want to be Ross the guy that works on and tracks cool bikes. That also screams at the sky when stuck in traffic or doing long trips on his supersport. Let me suffer in peace!!! Haha

You either like that sound or don’t.. and I don’t. I like the sound of the Honda CBR1000R’s for example

I daily my 09 R1 and love it!!!

Why not raise the bars a bit so us old people can ride it??

Middleweight with all the tech Aprilia 660 rs or tuono. 100 horses and made for the street but definitely can track it (I don’t). I have a tuono simply cuz it was on the floor and in the end the ergos are better (handlebars not raised clip ons). $10500ish. Get one. Comes with all the tech and then some very nice TFT, cruise and sounds really nice stock for a 270 crank parallel twin. They imo look the best in the middle class by far. Maybe r7 looks better or equal. Liter bikes are the shit but my 660 scares me at times so….

A real mans man? Pff hahahaha

This maybe a little much to expect but is the R1 still or again being given away?

Asssaaa dooood

dont sandbag mr novice

Tell us, Yammie. Who have you decided that is worth EXISTING to own the R1.
YAMMIE HAS SPOKEN.

Looks like a knights horse

Give me the bike

"look at the sound"

It makes me nervous just looking at it.

Going with the R1M.👍

New ones look better but 08 and earlier sounded better

what about using it for commuting, is it too crazy? i want to look cool too :)

What's not to like?? Good looks, sound, speed, handling! Been around!

Yammie boss can I have that..

Yamaha puts this motor in a snowmobile the Yamaha apex sounds and rides just as sweet

I'm jealous of you dude, now I wanna go buy one! looks like fun,

Does this bike have heated grips. and cruise control .or a throttle lock?

Yamaha needs to make a premium 650cc cross-plane in a N650/CBR650 form factor.

I'm turning 18 next month and my dad is buying me a R1 for my birthday! I'm so excited

I owned a '16 R1. Enjoyed it for what it was meant for: track. I could care less about "looking cool", and if you think you can get away with using this bike to its' potential on the street, you are a fool....not cool.

Great video, well spoken while demonstrating responsible and safe riding. This is how mature responsible adults ride these sort of bikes on public roads. The childish idiots out there , who have no regard for safety of others on public roads, because they only care about feeding their childish Egos, should pay attention.

Motorcycle give away 😂😂😂😂

New to ur channel well Farley new have u givin away the R1 and Harley yet ? Lol probably late but definitely worth the ask!! Also love ur channel bro we look at things the same

Sounds like the best beginner bike
