    Well its no YZF R1 but its a Yamaha.Its a comfortable ride with plenty of grunt to spare and two up does nothing to limit that horsepower. Handling is limited to traction maximums and night time visibility is fully satisfactory only using high beam to raise the light in corners on back Country Roads, ...

  • Simply the best! Ex-owner of a '98 & '99 R1.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 05, 2009

    I owned a GSXR1100 when I read the write-up on the new R1 in '98. I quickly sold my GSXR & purchased a '98 R1. I was blown away by the difference between the 2 bikes & was stunned by it's performance. I fitted the bike with a full Arrow system & K&N. In '99 I traded it in on the '99 model which I ...

    It's amazing, just when ya think they could'nt make a better bike.

    Bammm! Yamaha kicked it up a knotch!

    I feel as though the stock power delivery is clean through the band, the handling whether on street or on track is exceptional. Last buy surely not least..............Sexy Sexy Sexy! ...

    What more could we ask for?

    Love is the best definition that describes the relationship between my bike and I.

  • Perfect Sports Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 16, 2008

    I just bought a used 2004 R1. To be frank, when I read some reports about "the beast", I was a bit concerned whether a 180 horsepower bike was the right decision.

    Well, it was: this big bike is amazingly easy to handle. I was surprised that it does not feel heavier than some 400 cc ...

    Only two things to get used too: the clutch is extremely hard. And the front brakes really bite. I never made the front tire of any other bike scream like this. But still it always feels under control.

    And of course, the bike is not ideal for touring. And forget about long distance rides with a passenger. But you know that when you buy a sports bike, right?

    Have a safe ride.
