Yamaha R1 2015 Experiences and Expert Review
nastynils
The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.

FAQ tires Yamaha R1
- Which tires are currently recommended by the 1000PS editorial team for this model?
Sporttouring tires
For naked bikes, sports tourers but also sports motorcycles. High mileage is very important, as is wet grip. The focus is on touring suitability and less on sportiness.
Road sport tires
All-round tire for sporty road riders. Super sports bikes, naked bikes, sports tourers. Also occasional trips to the race track. However, mileage plays a role, as does a short warm-up time and performance in bad weather.
