2020 Yamaha R1 and R1M Review

[@xorbe2]

Troy and Adam Waheed are the best moto journalists to date. They can ride hard af with ease and write and talk one hell of a detailed review.

[@nb4821]

But feels like Adam abuses every single bike like some crook psycho man.

[@Jason-hk4uq]

@@nb4821 I dont think these bikes are meant to be pampered. If you're not trying to take these bikes to its limit and testing its threshold then I see no point in taking these bikes to the track. The track is the only place the bike will come alive and be in it's natural environment. People need to remember, these 1000cc+ supersport bikes have no place on the roads, you will never feel it's TRUE nature until its released on a closed controlled environment without all the unpredictable elements that the roads will throw at you. If I'm going to watch a review on a 1000cc bike, I'm expecting to see/hear a review coming from someone who is wringing its neck to its max, bc if these guys are telling you these are great bikes, for us regular folks who go to the track once in a while but do a majority of street riding, then that means these bikes can handle and outride us any day.

[@TroySiahaan]

[@TroySiahaan]

Whoa, that's big praise. Thanks so much. Adam is a buddy of mine and he's great at what he does. There are a few other guys who do it well also. Rennie Scaysbrook at Cycle News, and of course there's Zack and Ari.

[@vess6934]

If the carbon fiber doesn't really do anything substantial to lighten up the bike then it's kind of pointless, although looks very cool. Sports cars can justify carbon fiber but on a bike it just adds significant cost for not much benefit.

[@sd_forrest]

R1m uses a deltabox frame which is heavier than the R1's diamond frame..so they used carbon fibre to make it lighter.

Australianong Hilaw for these kind of bikes they have quickshifter up/down (Honda,Ducati,Ktm,...) and you can buy quickshifter also if your bike didn’t have one But you can only get the UP SHIFT only. For DOWN SHIFT you need the bike that have throttle by wires like these kind of leader bike with a bigger CC bike.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

@@MuttzbikeRR Ultimately I stayed within the Aprilia family. I had an anomaly…..after some modifications to my bike by my local shop (when living in Mexico City) I discovered they cut almost all wires to install a hand at riser on my Tuono and simply tied them together and wrapped with electrical tape. Mexico City is at high elevation and when I went up in the mountain it would always stall. Or it could have been the low pressure that built up in the fuel tank due to a blockage in a vent hose causing the ECU to sense something was off in the fuel/air mixture…emergency engine light would come on and shut bike down…..every time above 11k foot elevation. Bizarre. Still riding my other old older 2010 Tuono V2…battle axe with no issues!

Hi Troy, I really like the new R1 but how good of a street bike would you say it would be? I would say it would be 80% street, 20% track. Would it be too much of a torture rack for the street? Thanks

[@SICSLIPKNUT]

I've got a 2018 and I only use it on the weekends, it loves being leaned over but soon as am on the highway I wish I was on something comfier, ok for light commuting that's about it.

[@allnighterist]

its 100% for track, owners who rides it on streets are just proud owners with egos

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

Just set your suspension for the job at hand, you don't get one bike that is great at everything, you can set it up to suit the ride and rider but if you want a track bike go for something designed with that in mind if you want a commuting bike then get something sorted for that else you must compromise somewhere but I've been riding for 13 years and setting a sports bike up for comfort is not hard then track day settings and you good to go, it's really simple but these days people don't put in the time to learn these things they just want to get on and have everything perfect

[@TroySiahaan]

Personally, if you want an R1 for the street, get the MT-10. Unless you enjoy torture racks.

[@EpiceverythingProductions]

Troy Siahaan although I like the looks and sound of the R1M I don’t really want to ride around on a torture rack. Perhaps the Tuono is in my future.

Your underwhelming depiction of the ferocity of this bike baffles me. I just bought a 2021 R-1 and I strongly disagree. .Granted, the last bike I owned was a 2006 R-1, and technology has come a very long way...to dismiss what the R-1 brings to to the table, is disingenuous. This bike is a fucking rocket. I'm still in my break in period, and this bike is insane. The low end grunt is orgasmic. The high end is just silly.

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

Ohleens? What happened to ohlins?

[@andyb.6721]

the tank was beautiful. why would they change that !!

[@joshlewis5065]

So the changes in the cylinder head make it rev higher but decrease power. That is lame Also the cable-less throttle body is pretty lame too. That means from the factory, it will always scale back throttle input in mid range for better emissions most likely. It does help with traction control but nothing compares to a cable throttle body, nothing.

[@saularevalo4477]

I'm sure you can easily just flash the ECU to get a better throttle response.

[@xorbe2]

It was already RBW before, just that the sensor was at the end of the cable. Now the sensor is at the throttle. So it didn't change anything really.

[@kornboy22]

Even with the cable it is ride by wire so the throttle input is scaled back in the ECU ETV (Electronic Throttle Valve) maps anyway. Even more so on the US model.
