Why choose the Yamaha YZF-R1?

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is one of the most famous names in the industry and has been since it first launched in 1998.

It’s most definitely a sports bike and while that means motorbike insurance may be more expensive than most other types of bikes, it still hasn’t put riders off the R1, as you can see from our rider reviews.

Very nice bike great power great handling and awsome sound. Only thing I Would say is fueling at low rpm is quite aggressive but I'm sure a power comander and remap would solve this!

To me it was never the same again and I was worried about my licence as the performance is so addictive. Sold it then regretted it ever since. Reached a certain age and realized life is too short so saw a grey 2005 model I had to have. Love it to bits but still don't ride it much but when I do it's a fantastic piece of kit.
