Oh yeaaahhh!!!!! The superbitch is here,

"The 2004 R1 not only looks good, but it also makes its rider look good."

"Powering this good-looking machine is a liquid-cooled 998cc, 20-valve, in-line four-cylinder motor that produces 180 claimed horsepower power at 12,500 rpm."

"At $10,599 the 2004 Yamaha R1 costs the same as a GSX-R 1000 and is $400 less than the ZX-10R. "

"We think Yamaha should have called this the R! "

the bike rocks
but there is a feeling of diappointment

"It’ll be nice to get these bikes together on the same day with the same tires but as it stands the R1 came in a little less than I expected. It looks the business but I just wish that I didn’t have to manhandle it so much to get my jollies"

also the underseat exhaust is too hot

Wow!

guys it's awesome this bird,beast whatever u wanna call it.
one thing is for sure that this bike can take out most of the bikes in 1000 cc category if not all of them

They may be thousands of bike models but the one bike that always stand out is
THE YAMAHA YZF R1

baristoooo · 02-22-2004, 03:36 AM

The R1 was born to be No.1.i loved the busa for it's speed and its size.but i guess it won't b tat good when it comes to cornering.it's built 4 straight line speeds.so when it comes to cornering is when the R1 comes into the picture.and according to me riding a bike is all about cornering.and the new R1 will take on the busa anytime.coz now its got much more power then the busa, and its much lighter then he busa.I just wished i could be 1 of the prowed owners of the new R1.
