Cross-Plane R1's on a foggy Saturday

Group of mostly R1's riding in fog and slight drizzle.
Helicopter Gopro - • Video
The video is same day and just a couple hours before the GTO crashed into the parked motorcycles a couple months back. The way the bikes were parked a few would have been taken out if he came through a little earlier. it would have got ugly

Welcome on youtube where everyone is the best driver in the world... just let these guys ride the way they want to...

[@jabadahut50]

love the cross plane i4... sounds like a mini v8.

[@kennethpowers8995]

Sound good, but I cannot lap a cross plane liter bike as fast as a standard platform. The way the engine braking and power is applied is just detrimental to my particular cornering style and I could never field a cross plane R1 during race season. It may sound strange to some, but the power pulses are just not conducive to my riding style.

[@kennethpowers8995]

@@velhonen Always get better lap times on a Kawi or Suzuki than an R1. Is that more conducive to your limited understanding of the sport?

[@FeqZGalaxy]

i love the sound of a r1 soo much! #eargasm

[@adamstratford6740]

The Cross-Plan is definitely one of the best soundtracks you’ll hear on a bike 🥰

[@therealTOTOfan]

i have to say, the ducati v2 sound and this crossplane turbine/thunder sound combined with the beastly look of the headlights and the R1 in general are the most sexiest things you can get out there!

[@malibubeachboy]

I love the how you started this video off.. The sound off in the distance, the roar of the engines.. It was suspenseful... GREAT footage as usual! You put this together really nicely! Thank you for your time and energy! My friends and I love watching them.. Everyone looked great! EVEN the DRZ! The helicopter was very cool.... I was not distracted! lol....

[@9b8]

The sound of those cross-plane engines are growing on me! I like the "muscle" sound of the ducati V-twin, but also like the high RPM scream of the traditional Japanese flat-plane engines. This cross-plane design seems to have both characteristics. She still screams when she gets up there.

[@RNickeyMouse]

@FruittisMaris Thanks! We did have a GoPro on the helicopter but it didn't come out great. If I had anything worthwhile I would have added it to this video

[@TezzzyOGK]

@1:51 damn exhaust blew that lil drone outta whack lmaoo

[@isyourshitfixed]

this dude films so well he could do the moto gp/superbike races!

[@morrielarsen]

They sound soooo amazing!

[@sammyd976]

its fun to watch all the different riding styles and how some work better than others. i would love to have a road like this where I live. nothing we have even comes close to this place!

[@Adeysworld]

Ahhhh..I remember this day! We were the only guys out riding that morning lol. This was before 215Crew got his leathers too. I needed this vid! Thanks Ken!

[@Adeysworld]

@Wopadas The 2009-CURRENT R1 is the first production motorcycle to have a Cross-Plane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. The result is like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline four. Previous model R1's were inline fours.

[@xAtomicTwinkiEx]

I'd choose an R1 over the Suzuki just for the sound alone. No other bike out there sounds like this. It's in a whole other league.

[@jng1226]

@Thomazz46 I just bought a Crossplane R1, actually in part because of Adey's videos. I also got the Graves low-mount full exhaust for 2 main reasons: 1) the stainless steel version drops 15 pounds of weight, centralizes the mass and moves the center of gravity lower for better handling (see any Buell or the Ducati 1199) and 2) It is one of the BEST sounding internal combustion motors I have ever heard with this exhaust. I've never heard any undertail exhaust sound like this.

[@grannman]

Absolutely excellent vids. Every single one I've seen was well worth watching.

[@DEE1995man]

I watch this video over and over again and I still enjoy it. Keep it up rnickey!!!!!!!!!

[@waterbnb7204]

beautiful timeless design, the best bike engine sound this combination is like a wet dream

[@CleddaSrh]

does anyone sweep the corners? might sound dumb to go out there with a push broom but i bet it would help if no one does

[@TheMorkj]

Just love the way the headlights blinks as they pass by the camera

[@fastkid392]

@malibubeachboy when im riding i preferred to put my mp3 under my jacket and also how do one put it on the helmet?

[@Adeysworld]

@The848evo The suits with the logo on the hump are older Laguna Seca models that are not sold in stores anymore. The red suit like mine in the video is the current Laguna Seca model.

[@ColeSai]

The matted out black one (rider with the bright green gloves) sounds sick! Any one have any idea by watching what they're running for there exhaust system?

[@stealth1546]

dat supermoto xD

[@AustriackiMalarz39]

:D

[@junior12343]

anyone kno what kind of exhaust they were using on the r1`s

[@verdeboyo]

mean looking R1s at the end. And glad nobody fell off - a good show!! Thanks for uploading

[@dazzelya]

I'm not really into the R1 look but the sound of the 09+.. DAMN, love it!

[@dbsshadow]

where do u guys buy the licence place holders that kinda hide your plate by the tire?

[@AustenARW]

Awesome footage the R1's! They sound amazing!

[@zeus2117]

do you have a link for the video where the gto crash the bikes?

[@BikerDarren24]

Love watching your video's man, could watch them all day :)

[@prototype3947]

That blue R1.... gorgeous

[@DRisThor]

Man I love the sound of those R1's!

[@INSIDEoutOREO699]

This is one of my favorite motorcycle videos on youtube...Cross-Plane R1 FTW!

[@ErKa44]

Wow i love your videos! And i am impressed with the riders there. Wearing full gear, driving a good line and stuff, not bad.

[@90G10]

what kind of bike is the one on minute 1:11 yamaha r1??? what kind of exhaust and body? thanks

[@Adeysworld]

@apontazacpa Majority of the riders here are on Dunlop Ntec DOT tires. Running track pressures. This day I had Dunlop Q2's on running 31 F 28 R.

[@Nock_Off]

what exhaust was on the black r1 in the middle of the three at 3:46

[@mchale20201]

Some of those cross plane R1s look very planted and stable mid turn. Judging by the sound of the non cross plane bikes, the new R1's engine helps compliment a calm chasis as opposed to the conventional inline fours. Sorry, I'm rambling on my observations. Great video!!!

[@HAZZARDOSS87]

Was a pleasure to watch. I love your bikes.

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

Wow, standing in a public street with a camera? Thats what I call dedication.

[@Lil_eee]

Look under the tail of the dude with the black r1 , it dont have no holes how did they cover those holes

[@vicenterr7]

Great sounding and looking bikes!

[@sacheus]

@Fear1908 Which is why I'm confused as to why so many ride on the wrong side of the turn for maximun view. Road conditions has nothing to do with proper positioning. Near the inner line for a left bend is asking for trouble.

[@MrBadigard]

well ..will the 3cyl be beneficial for power..

[@Adeysworld]

@420League Thank you!!

[@ozzy929]

Nice! love the exhaust note! Aftermarker systems sound great guys nice vid!

[@Laspher]

Is there much difference low to mid end from the R1 and the R6? I know a lot of people say the gixxer thousand and the 750?

[@calineophyte]

Damn those R1s are great looking. The lights are especially cool.

[@Purpose_Bilt]

@roossi the one you hear is a ZX10 in the vid. if you mean newer vs old, it's because of the "big bang" motor or crossplane motor they came out with in 09 i believe. not to mention the firing order and timing.

[@LarsAKApotet]

You sir, are a genius with the camera... keep it up - Peace and respect from Norway

[@deleonb]

directions to the snake from san diego please. anyone?

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Now we just need 4-cyl CARS with crossplane cranks. I'd LOVE a 2.5-ish liter crossplane inline-4 to go in a project car.

[@Renzsu]

I'd totally rock a four-cylinder if it sounded like this!

[@Drunken_Hamster]

If you take these and cut the speed in half and the pitch down 25%, I think it'd be about what you'd hear.

[@750rocketman5]

People put bike engines in cars lol

[@gixxerjaco]

where can i find video from the r/c helicopter?!?!?!

[@Shogun09R1]

Music to my ears....Bravo!!!

[@victorgan90]

did all the shorty exhaust custom made? where the hell do they find..

[@Adeysworld]

@MrPhipper We were experimenting with a birds-eye view. Didn't work out...wasn't high enough.

[@fastkid392]

pause in 1:12 is that an ipod stick at the back of a shoei helmet?

[@prorobo]

Those black R1's sound crazy! I've never heard a bike that sounded like a muscle car! Nuts. Great stuff! The HD GoPro on that heli would look good.

[@arthuriscool1994]

the cross plane r1 is thee best sounding bike when it comes to actual everyday riding rev range sound

[@dhoomeslice96]

What exhaust is black R1 with blue rims running?

[@bwadey09]

What gloves is the guy wearing in 0:29 and 1:20? They look like the rossi replicas but they dont have the red and green fingers that the replicas have.

[@ablacklakeawhitelake]

@viasevenvai Chill, the crankshaft IS in fact out of balance ON PORPOUSE. This is something that´s been done in some bikes since years. In the 90´s Doohan´s nsr500 had the four combustions of the cilinders grouped in a few degrees, so the engine wasn´t so violent cause there was a bigger gap of time where the engine didn´t send power to the backwheel, making it similar to a V2 or a big single. It´s necessary to compensate the effects of this on the crankshaf with couterweights and balance axis.

[@ForbyVids]

Awesome stuff! All those R1's are menacing!

[@RADICAL_RIDER]

Which exhaust has the black r1? sounds like a V2 engine

[@neos0401]

What kind of exhaust is that? I want it in germany, too!

[@fjones1914]

Great looking & sounding bikes!!

[@valeroen46]

where I can find the helicopter go pro film?

[@FedeGherbaz]

the black and blue one has slick?

[@blahblah2018]

the one in the blue dainese suit got a new r1?

[@Adeysworld]

@MetricHotrodsdotcom You have some eye there. CHP can't even clock vehicles in a turn. So how fast was each bike traveling in this vid eagle-eye?

[@mugget]

Oh yeah! There's some awesome sounding bikes there... I would sit on that corner and watch all day... but then I'd be disappointed I didn't ride all day. Haha The stubby exhaust on the R1 looks pretty good! Damn those crossplane crank R1's sound good!

[@deleonb]

directions to the snake please. anyone? thanks

[@arjunzzzzz]

@NeoTheOne2 you talking about the one at 1:05 right?

[@iRyd3]

@junior12343 For the 09-10 R1's they are using Graves, and Akrapovic. The Kawi ZX10 had the yoshimuras. I'm not sure about the Rossi replica and the moto bike

[@george536]

the sound is amazing!

[@jboozey1]

cool video. Man... Those cross plane cranks sound awesome

[@ultimatekick1]

Oh ok, my bad :) I never ran track tires on my bike.. I know that they are very sticky, but isn´t this grippy condition only there when the tire is at the right temperature? (which should be quite high on a track tire i guess, and the "running-warm-time" is relatively long compared to a street tire..)

[@MxHondaCR250R]

@MrPhipper looks like it has a goPro cam strapped to the front..

[@SilkLotus]

Does no one read twist of the wrist anymore?

[@MrRayman217]

what bike is that black one that sounds like a v8?

[@BridgerHenriksen]

Aw man I just got a chubby haha, damn one of these days I'm gunna trailer the R6 out there. Good riding and awesome filming as always!

[@Dutchificationable]

So would I (6"5) fit comfortably on a r1?

[@Adeysworld]

@blackedout650 Ha no we didn't buy in bulk. We should be sponsored by them by now tho;) In response to your question about Dainese to Astars. My previous suit was Astars MX-1 which is direct competitor to my Dainese Laguna Seca suit. The Dainese suit is lighter and the leather has a more supple feel to it. I felt like there was no break-in period with my Dainese suit. Besides, Dainese has a more subtle cleaner look to it. Astars is kinda cartoony with all the plastic armor every where. My .02

[@rEcKLesSzzz]

where r half those r1 exhausts at lol

[@ALRMdA13]

nice video, very nice camera man and AWESOME bikes!

[@BikerDarren24]

Can I buy this on itunes? :)

[@aracaen]

i swear, one of them sounds like a 4 stroke dirtbike, what kind of exhaust is that?

[@Auto-Minute]

The guy on the supermoto passed the camera guy and turns around like.."hey you get mahh picture bro??" lol gotta love them supermoto's

[@StevenMConroy]

Those new r1s sound sooooooooo good! and i agree you should definetly get a gopro for that heli.

[@IIMillieII]

What exhaust is that??? Sounds so amazing...

[@DarkHorse08]

All of them are literally just reaching for the ground.

[@uuldriks]

I agree, cant believe they dont tip over by going that slow (most of em)

[@akosig10c]

when are these R1 riders will gather up again at the top of Snake? i would love to meet/greet/ride with them !

[@malibubeachboy]

@fastkid392 Yes it is... I like to listen to some tunes as I ride... Do you pause the video and zoom in?? lol

[@teozx7r]

@rnickeymouse next time, can you get to film in another corner of the snake?

[@9b8]

I love the look of that flat black and blue one. Exactly how I'd get mine.

[@Skater3z3b]

That supermoto is hauling ass around that corner and it looked like he wasnt even trying! :D great vid love all the bikes good riders too.

[@vnitto]

Sweet, I want a link to the video shot from the helicopter!

[@fblb44]

what kind of exhaust is at 1:10??
