2007 Yamaha R1
 

Well fellas here I go again breaking the news for you. Here is the 2007 R1....no info released yet but the Yamaha site will have it 10/09. The bike appears more to be an evolution rather then a revolution.

cool looking still but anynews on performance.


i got to ride an 04 R1 today, man i forgot how much heat those thing put out under your ass.

Well if Yamaha is smart I hope the beefed up the mid-range that the current bike is lacking in. Also there are rumors that this motor has 4-valve per cylinder rather then 5-valves that the current R1 has.

less valves? better be bigger and lighter! Looks like the 05' R6...but i like the way they look so...Cool, i love R1's.

Additional rumors to the ones already mentioned is that it is supposed to be physically smaller than the current R1 & that is has fly-bi wire tech.

I like the way it looks... the Swingarm looks straight off Rossi's bike.

It's also suppose to have adjustable velocity stacks like the MV Agusta,Tamburini. It'd going to be a sweet bike, that's for sure.

IMO im disappointed i thought i was gonna see something crazy. atleast thats what all the hype ive been hearing about. And yes im almost positive its a 4 vavle motor with variable valve timing. from what ive heard. Anyway that ride is kinda hot though.

i meant red

The rear swing arm looks bigger, plus the front air intake is different from the the 06, doesnt look like a whole lot of visible changes, Id like to see some performance specs

if i didnt have a ZX10, i would most likely go with the R1...this new one looks better than ever and might be the first litre bike on the market with some awesome technology (FBW throttle, acutating v stacks), lets see how she performs when it hits the street and track....
