Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2014

The Yamaha YZF-R1 still inspires with balanced performance - especially the 1000cc engine with its extravagant crank pin offset not only serves the powerful power delivery but also provides a wonderful sound!

Agile

strong brakes

good chassis

unique and exclusive due to the idiosyncratic engine.

The appearance, with the wide tail, might not satisfy all tastes.
