Yamaha R1 2016
Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.
