Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R1 2016
Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.
Yamaha R1 2012
All in all, the R1 is given the thankless role of the comfortable, easy-to-ride sports bike in the 2012 model year. From a pragmatic point of view, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but try explaining that to your mates at the pub table.
