@@johnr7022 i dont think so. The 2006 still uses the old R1 (FZ1) engine design, 20 valves and old electronics. The R1 2007 was the first and only R1 screamer to introduce YCCT y YCCI, introduced better chasis and the 16 valve cylinder engine, and not to mention the 3 piston caliper There is no comparison to the old 2006, still the 2006 is a good bike, the 2007 is just way better.

@@chilledoutt10004s are the start of the nice looking R1s with the underseath exhaust, and the 2007 continued this history but including better brakes, better engine and smaller/updated frame. But they are looking almost the same.

Pedant in me is quick to spot that they're not genuine akrapovic exhausts. It looks more like termis with akra stickers on it. The section from the muffler to the Y piece is meant to be a conical taper, in titanium rather than a square edge oval section. The 4C8 absolutely sucks in town, cooks your left thigh if it doesn't have a decat pipe and needs sweeping open roads or a track. A B Road bruiser it definitely is not! But when on song, it's a savage.

I have two, one 2007 and one 2008, both racing prepared. R1 2007/8 is one of the best superbike of all time! I have too one R6 2009, one Aprilia 2016 RSV4, one Ducati Streetfighter 1098 first serie all racing prepared and one stock Ducati 1299. R1 2007/8 is the bike! You must to have balls of steel to ride this bike near the limit! But is addictive like a hot wild sexy woman!

These are Termignoni exhausts and not Akrapovic. Plus it should make around 165-170 at the wheel with this spec. Lovely of course - love the 2007-2008 RN19 R1 !

@@MTstevesp oh I get that lad, which is why I didn't say anything about you in the comment, just the fact that it won't have 190bhp, not unless it's an ex BSB bike, which of course it isn't. A good format when giving the specs of a bike is just give stock numbers from the manufacturer and then add "it's got this and that on it so it should be a bit more". Also on walk arounds, start at the front, and work your way back to the tail, leaving the engine until last. It helps the flow and give you more opportunities to add titbits of information etc.

Why own a bike like that there it makes zero sense? You cant speed anywhere but everybody does on these and throwing it into 6th as fast as possible is not rhe way to ride them. They do close to 100mph in first gear. Good video and lovely bike but the wrong bike for that riding.
