Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2011

Once upon a time, she was the toughest beast among the 1000s. Only the wildest dogs could ride it. Now it is the motorbike that can not only be described as "the least evil on the country road" but which also gives a lot of pleasure there.

Fine traction point

rider adaptation to race track very easy

easy steering behaviour

optimal traction point.

Plump-looking rear end.

Yamaha R1 2009

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.

Sophisticated sound

good feeling for power delivery

easy handling

hydraulic spring preload

high level of workmanship.

Suboptimal seating position

somewhat difficult cornering over long distances.
