Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2017

Yamaha R1 2017

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

What remains is fascination, bewilderment and fear. You can't shake the uneasy feeling that you're not quite yourself on this bike. It feels like a heavy metal concert with earplugs.

Complete, electronic equipment

good braking system

strong engine

extremely fast on the road

appropriate appearance.

Chassis somewhat complicated and takes a lot of getting used to.
