    It's definitely got a quickshifter, just doesn't have downshifting functionality.

  • @thisisthomasjordan
    @thisisthomasjordan Před 9 lety +56

    am i the only one who likes the new front end? i think it's the best looking one so far

    • @TheAK47s
      @TheAK47s  Před 9 lety +6

      I hate it so much it prevents me from wanting one lol. But the bike itself is phenominal

      @cstephenson9223 Před 9 lety +5

      I like it too! One thing no one thinks about is it looks kinda like a shark (hammerhead like)! Ready to eat the competition!

    • @jokensy101
      @jokensy101 Před 9 lety

      +thisisthomasjordan At least it looks a lot better than the Kawasaki H2

    the new R1 is the prettiest bike in 1000cc class.

    • @spreaddeezhazelnutz7511
      @spreaddeezhazelnutz7511 Před 8 lety +1

      In my opinion the best sounding too

    • @Smoove233
      @Smoove233 Před 8 lety

      I agree. I wish they made it more street oriented though but It's a Supersport I guess

  • @nk0surfer
    @nk0surfer Před 8 lety

    They went and designed a bike with such special lines, with innovative angles, with a beautiful TFT screen and all these electronics, and yet the key they used is the same as 20 years ago!! If you own a Yamaha scooter, or a Yamaha R1 you get the exactly same boring key! Congrats for the thinking!

    • @harry9262
      @harry9262 Před 8 lety +1

      i just want to ask you truthfully, what is the better bike out of the yamaha r1 2015 and the 2015 bmw s1000rr?

    • @YourFastLifeMotorcycleChannel2
      @YourFastLifeMotorcycleChannel2 Před 8 lety

      +Berserk Gaming UK I'd automatically say Yamaha is "better" just based on my lack of trust in German engineering for anything but performance and luxury. Quality, not so much. However, I hear people like the warranty so maybe that works for you.

    • @harry9262
      @harry9262 Před 8 lety +3

      yeah, i love the bmw but i have a 2010 yamaha r1 black and gold with akrapovic slip on cans and i was thinking about trading in my r1 and paying a bit for one of the two bikes. I don't do trackriding as i would never take a new bike on the track and i just don't have time. I ride out and about and occasionally have some fun on the motorways and the bypass. I'm really not sure i love them both but can't get over the front end of the r1, the circular lights look really bad but i do like the strips of LEDs or what ever they are lol!

    I remember years ago when I saw this video. Last year in December I bought a 2018 R1. I got videos on my channel of my R1, but this video inspired me to get mine brand new at the end of the year back in 2018. $2,400 off msrp yup!

    @aristide4505 Před 8 lety

    the power: excellent for 1000cc, torque: good. 1 thing... are the advanced electronics really necessary? for a daily ride... like you will care the traction control, the G-forces when u go to the work? i don't think so.

  • @F-14_Jockey
    @F-14_Jockey Před 8 lety +3

    Dude... with no mileage on the bike, the pads are green... you need to do some heavy braking from at least 80 down to about 10 mph to get the pads cooked up so they work. You said the brakes needed to be better... did they improve as you used them?

    To anyone who complains about the R1's new headlights AND blames Yamaha:
    You should all know that Yamaha is NOT to blame for the lazy-looking bulbs they stuck on the front. It is American Legislation that the headlights (or bulbs specifically) being used on the motorcycle must be circular and must conform to a certain minimum dimension/size in order to be legally sold and rode on American streets.
    Yamaha is NOT to blame, guys- My American fucking government fucked it up! Just saying!

  • @criticalmass181
    @criticalmass181 Před 8 lety +5

    I still just don't get those headlights.....They look as if the designers built the bike, then went "Oh, shit....we forgot the headlights." and stuck them in. Apart from that, even though it's taken a long time, the rest of the bike is growing on me. I have an original R1, and everywhere you look, on this new model, you can still see the influence of it's original conception.

  • @arthursilva2005
    @arthursilva2005 Před 8 lety

    What's your current bike or bike that you're used to riding? Just curious if you've ever ridden a previous gen crossplane R1 or if this reaction to the power is what you would get with any modern liter bike. I'd love to do a test ride of a 2015 to see how different the power is from my '12, but nobody gives test rides around here.

But I can't find any differences except a minor decal change on the front of the bike and the transmission issue ( Which will be fixed if i buy the 2015 model).
