2018 Yamaha R1M Review

[@manoharchintapalli1268]

May i just say that this is the best channel for motorcycles these days...the guys are relateable...not talent wise though...its on another plane talent wise...but the insight, knowledge and humour are second to none...and all the best for budget bike battle in North Africa...

[@T0BBi94]

Totally agree, I have never really watched many motorcycle journalists on youtube until I found these guys

[@lukaszg74]

It's far away from best channel on you tube

[@vong4518]

Well not maybe THE best... But very high on my top 10 list

[@manoharchintapalli1268]

Von Goebbels fair enough

[@vong4518]

Manohar, But i do agree with your original point. And i also agree, that the thing i really wan´t to see, is that Budget Bike Battle and how that goes on :P

[@Aint1S]

I can't help loving this bike... Of all the exotics out there, this bike just gets my attention. It could be that those Ducati engineers that let for Yamaha have really outdone themselves while at Yamaha. Also, this engine is actually a simple one to do repairs on and the valves don't require checking for years! The bike is just built so well... She's a beauty, no doubt about it! 😍👍🏼

[@nishkarthulsie9803]

Aint1S do you also lobe the price of this bike

[@Aint1S]

It would be cheaper if they didn't make 3 different versions of the R1, but they have to do segmentation of the line to allow for people who wouldn't be able to enjoy the R1 at a slightly elevated price... Still, it would've been lower than 21k. Figure 14k, 16k, and 21k. If they could just sell the R1M, they could buy more at bulk pricing for the Öhlins suspension, the carbon, and the titanium valvetrain. Less division in the manufacturing line and more production of one bike. At 21k for everything that comes with the bike... I don't mind the price, but it's not a bike that you're going to buy when you are 18 to 24. This bike comes later for those who are stable and make decent money. If you work in an oil field in those age groups, you're going to have enough to buy it. Still like it 👍🏼

[@Aint1S]

It's the retarded insurance that bites your wallet out of the two. Insurance is a scam!

I just don't understand why yamaha refuses to throw a set of brembos on the R1...

[@MrJayjay0420]

Matthew Humenansky they want to keep that woody braking feeling going

[@rlmach1]

Brembo well Yamaha thinks the brakes they use are plenty fit. You can get a "Brembo" sticker from Ebay and stick it on there?

[@jerryp1392]

I heard you can get racing brake pads, they dont last as long, but they bite better than stock.

[@SuperChiefer84]

@JezBollah 667 Yeah the stock calipers on the R1 are monoblocks while the Brembos calipers for this bike are 2 piece.

[@yannberger]

Couldn't agree more with you, I mean it is their top of the line and the stock brakes are street brakes, definitely not track related, at first I thought it was due to abs but as I had a pair of race brembo gp4rs in the garage, I installed them with a brembo master cylinder and straight away went night and day! so it is not really the Abs... some of my friends did the abs removal and surely it went better and gain weight but the hassle on the M regarding the electronics... not sure it is worthy unless you do a national championship...

[@Josh-oe4ex]

I bought a brand new R1 S model back in May 2018. Leftover model. The electronics are near identical. Obviously with the M version you get fully automated comp/reb damping control, which is VERY impressive, but otherwise the electronics are very very similar and absolutely incredible. I spent a little over 1,000 between a 3/4 exhaust, ECU flash, Filter and couple other little things. My bike won't outrun a M that has a flashed ecu but it'd keep pace pretty darn close. The dyno charts are not much different either. Just the R1 and R1 M have an extra 1800 rpm and make a few more whp. I would save the money and buy either a regual R1 or even the S model. *By the way: the R1 in ANY form is the most uncomfortable and flat out brutal street bike i've ever owned or test ridden. Get a new seat immediately

[@banarne71]

Great review. Serious but with a lay back attitude. 👍🏻🇸🇪🇬🇧🍻🤠 Great guys!

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Interesting comments on the brakes!

[@RahulAllanMedia]

Please do a similar video on the Fireblade SP1.That would be great. There are no videos of the fireblade anywhere with so much info

[@gtagamingzone1]

hi mate, i was wondering about which is the name of the first song on your video, i really liked that song! and obviously your video!

[@mrgreen9388]

I get the feeling if u bin a new bike with all the new electronics at a trackday or a race your goin to run into lots of problems gettin the bike out again that day with all the wiring and speed sensors. Has anybody had these problems yet or am i just hating on new tec?

[@Delboysparody]

So much technology I don't think is necessary just for track days, who are you trying to beat? Traction control , yes maybe with all that power? Depends how much spare cash you have I suppose....

[@theavangelist]

as the saying goes 'it's really hard to crash' i've not felt that TC system yet but I've seen what it is doing in slow mo and yeah, bar you pushing it beyond your physical capabilities if you put it in the gravel you really fucked up

[@brois841]

Ellie, I've low-sided my 2015 R1... thankfully just cosmetic damage. Had a pit-mate high-side his bike and his whole front nose was wrecked... dash cracked, just needed a new dash. With all the electronics, it's hard(ER) to crash the bike coming out of corners, but going into them... not so much. I crashed trail braking too hard in the rain. Regarding electronics, it's only a few extra sensors. The complex part is the software in the ECU. As long as the sensors function the software functions.

[@pradov10]

You guys are awesome 👏

[@dorwood73]

Spaftacular (just added to Google dictionary) review boys. Good stuff!

[@Youtuberngajelas]

Why on earth that the 2018 r1m has a blacked out engine and blakced out frame. And still retain polished swingarm?? Looks terrible..

[@maxmaxvot891]

it's already year 2019, why there's no immobilizer and still using key's?

[@blue03r6]

yeah the abs needs to be adjustable or at least be able to be turned off. and I would like the lift to be adjustable to something as a reference such as setting 1 can come up X amount of inches/mm etc. the brake components are fine. it's the pads that are terrible. I replace mine with Ferodo sintered pads. incredible difference. I also notice they put symbols in the indicator lights on the dash. that was a pet peeve of mine. a light is on but unless you can remember from your manual you don't know what it is.

[@MrAndyS]

I thought I'd go out on bike today but I couldn't because I'm now fat and couldn't get in my suit

[@Pal.Cockrum]

Im a kawi guy but for some reason im liking this bike. I wouldnt buy one but looks nice. The new r1 set the bar in 2015 but the competition has caught up.

Nice R1M shots 😉

[@rrrkev]

Has it still got the jerky throttle response ?

[@Alexander-fu1zd]

Controversial but I think the 2018 R1M is actually more jizzy than the new Duke V4?!?! Thoughts?

[@haidulidu]

Awesome video, thanks guys!

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

Pangiale V4 vs YZF-R1M...Which one are u gonna choose ??

[@Ze-Germanzuk]

Abid Hassan I mean it's gotta be the Ducati, it's just so special.

[@mrgreen9388]

The duke because im a wanna be racer and u can back it in by stamping on the rear brake😎

[@KyleMicena]

R1 best looking sports bike to date.

I'd go for the R1M over the V4, but I'd choose the Superleggera Finale edition over the R1M just because of the looks. The V4 I don't like that much, still awesome though.

[@brois841]

Abid, if you actually plan on putting it on the track and spending your own money: the R1, of course. Up until this version I'd say don't waste money on the R1M, but the Ohlins Smart EC2 suspension sounds pretty spiffy. If you just ride street and spending someone else's money, then the Duc makes a better garage queen. P.S. You should hear the R1 at WOT at high RPM at the track... pure sex. I'll reserve judgement on the Duc until I hear it (I'm sure someone will show up with one this year), but I can't imagine it'll be rivaling the RSV4 with their tuning.

[@mrjaycam7086]

Seriously wondering what mic you use and where it is in the helmet. Audio is so clean.

[@nickturnbull4302]

Great review. Where there meant to be some graphs in there somewhere?

[@eekhead1]

Great job guys. Quick question; does the lean angle of the bike affect the level of ABS intervention and brake pressure on the front brake specifically? I know it does for the back; haven't seen anything regarding the front.

this bike is so sci-fi for me, I'd love to own one! such a shame I couldn't really use it anywhere as it's overpowered for the street and for the very small tracks that are around where i live. And the money of course :D

[@mohammedmubarak5032]

What a great vedio excellent like usual. I do have a question please about when you said if the bike lift on 2nd or 3rd gear coming out of a corner keep it pinned and don't chop the throttle, what happen at that point when you keep pinned, does it continue to lift or What? Please explain. And as usual I appreciate your expert feedback. Regards.

[@Benjamingt4]

you guys going to review the z900rs? Would quite like to hear your opinion about the bike.

[@Freakz0ne12]

Come here for the R1 but really just interested in the astonishing camera quality. What are you recording this with?? Lol

[@staticage]

Highly bout the reverse xplaine crank was your idea since they already use it on rossi's m1.

My curiosity is what if you weigh more than the typical 160# rider most Japanese bikes seem to be built for? Would it have to be re-sprung? Or re-valved too?

[@kennethhamlin5428]

I know a lot of people using these as street bikes complained about the harsh throttle response at low speeds. Did they fix that or did you not get a chance to putz around at low speeds?

[@VincenzoNero94]

How do you think this or the regular R1 would do on the streets? I’ve only been a 600 guy so far. But I’m saving up for either a 1000 or the mt09. I really only like Honda and Yamaha. So the new cbr1000rr would be an option as well.

[@Teh509]

Same alarm tone... My missus hates that sound like it's a red hot poker up the jaksie.

[@Turbotuberx3]

I have been googling to find the leathers shown in the video.. are they custom from Dianese?

[@kakashikakashi-]

So the big question here is would baron choose the v4 pani or r1m ?? ( I know he owns a 1m, but would he switch ? )

[@Seanype]

Can you shorten the gearing so it’s geared more towards street riding ?
