Yamaha R1 2015

Yamaha R1 2015

The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.

In the course of our 125cc special, we tested the Yamaha YZF-R125 together with "Psycho Philipp" on the kart and supermoto track in Wöllersdorf. This year we were already on the road with Yamaha's eight-litre supersports bike at the Pannoniaring at the Gripparty and were able to convince ourselves that it can even stand up to its full-grown peers. On the miniature ring of the "Actionsracers", the little super sports bike was then really in its element.
