@@Charon58 This is so incorrect. Just because a bike can do 120 around a curve doesn't mean you need to do that every turn to be able to "handle the bike" anyone with basic grasp of traction and respect for the power can "handle" this bike. It's an extremely tame ride if you stay below 8-9 grand. you're still "handling the bike" because you know that for the conditions of the road you cannot be giving it full throttle at 55° lean angle. Just because someone can't out brake a motogp champion and doesn't drag elbows every turn doesn't mean they shouldn't get a liter bike. I've had plenty of fun on my S1000XR whilst also staying safe. There are definitely faster riders than me but i've not once thought "I can't handle this bike" and it is heavier and snappier than most 1000cc super sports out there. There are a lot of creature comforts that come from being on a bigger faster bike and even if someone will outride you on a 300 doesn't mean you'd want a 300 over a 600cc or 1000cc just because that bike is CAPABLE of posting faster lap times than YOU ever will. 2:24 in the video summs this up perfectly just because you "Can't ride faster than 70" on the motorway I guarantee you 90% of 300cc owners have broken that and anyone with a liter bike will at least once hit 150 even if you technically can't...

I don't want to go slow on ANY motorcycle, of any style.
I ride Yamaha because they fit my body better. Just get the sportbike that fits your body best.
I just wanted to thank you for being deadly honest about not only the capabilities of the R1, but also the limitations and hazards of the bike. My son was one of those that wanted his R1 modified (exhaust, tune, tires, frame sliders, etc...). I have been a motorcycle rider all my life that started with dirt bikes. Due to 2 close near death experiences involving other drivers while driving my street bike when I was about 20, I have always encourage my boys (5) not to ride street bikes. The one thing that is rarely discussed is the stupidity of other drivers!! My son was riding his R1 when a stupid driver made a left hand turn in front of him while driving a motorhome. He had no place to go as there was a Fed. Marshal vehicle to his left. It was a 5 lane highway with a left turn center lane. My son was in the slow lane and everything was caught on dash-cam video. The marshal stated that my son was not horsing around what-so-ever but had the sun in his eyes and was in the Marshal's blind spot so he didn't see the motorhome make the turn until it was too late. My son didn't survive the impact! The marshal stated that the only reason that he was able to stop in time because he was able to read the other driver and determined that he wasn't going to stop or yield. I say all of this to say thank you for driving smart. I did see you hit 71 mph for about 3 sec, and you are right it is very hard not to hit the throttle on a R1. Those biles are really fun, but "generally speaking" it isn't the motorcycle rider that is the issue....it is the stupid drivers that don't look, don't care, and never think of the families that are destroyed. So....I would love to see a video that discusses the issue of stupid drivers, and how to protect us as motorcycle riders (special led lights that flash and warn drivers, defensive driving, and the proper gear). FYI, my son had ALL his gear on; Shoei carbon helmet, Dainese jacket and pants with the air vest, and gloves. He was a safe rider like most of you are! Mike

Raise it back up! I've never owned a Yamaha. I own a CBR 1000rr, the handlebars make it an upright bike. Two weekends ago I bought an 06 R1, under 14K miles, perfect shape, $4,500. Front and rear jack stands included. Yes, it is fast, it wants to go fast, very true. Mine has adjustable suspension and the kickstand is adjustable, took me about 30 minutes to raise it back up, I"m a short guy too. About to take it out again here in a few minutes.

I had a 2008 4C8 in dark grey (almost black) and gold. The most gorgeous bike ever. I did a tons of mods on it - changed sprockets to shorten gearing, took out AIS, put full exhaust on (MIVV), remapped it etc. How bloody misguided. In the end, I succeeded in making an already savage bike so brutal to ride in the street that it actually began to scare me. The bike laughed at my skills and my limits. Cruising on it was borderline unpleasant as it demanded a total hammering every ride. R1 basically rode me more than I rode it and I was always expecting to end up in court if coppers ever spotted me. All in all, it just became too much and I sold it. What a bike, though, what a gorgeous, amazing bike. Still miss it every day.

I think the R1 looks better because it uses projector headlights. Most other bikes comes with reflector setup be it GSXR 1000, ZX-10R, S1000RR etc. The only other sportbike bike with projectors is MV Augusta F4RR I think.
As someone with 2 R1s in the shed, we are the worst.... at being the worst. Because we're the best
Those years had a 17T front sprocket from the factory. Putting a 15T sprocket on makes that R1 really fun
I love how the whole movie this guy is trying to say how awful the bike is, but is so enjoying this ride
Great video Shan Much a priciate for Second video Done professionally.....👍😁🤝😎
I get that feel when the bike is whispering you by the ear "go on boi, we deviling this hell" heeeeheeee!
R1s are beautiful apart from the headlights on the 2009 when it went down hill But now they are amazing especially 2020 version 👅
08 with power commander V, two brothers exhaust. Adding quick shift module and changing to GP shift soon. Putting in a new clutch this winter.
Had a 2006 Raven R1. Loved it. Moving on to 2020 R1 next
Sold mo '07 R1 the other day. Was a great bike. Loved commuting on it. Power and balance were excellent.
That 0-60 launch was weak. 😆
Is your city called "Roadsnakeville?"
As soon as I saw him doing the 0-60 I knew what he was doing, I said “he doesn’t wanna wheelie that shit😉

I agree, but for a different reason. Most R6 and R1 riders don't even have the capability to maximize the R3. They are straight line riders who have no idea how to handle a bike if they have trouble at high speed. Some idiots says begin riding on the R1 without understanding the bike can kill them because they don't know how to handle it. I started riding in the 1970s with much less power, but my bike could kill me so easily with the type of power it had. It could accelerate from 0-60 and back to zero in a short block. I had the opportunity to buy a big yammer, but chose the Triumph Sprint RS instead. Why? It was because the handling on the bike was so smooth, and so was the 955i engine.

I had an '08 with the same engine....it was completely stock and would always stall when starting.

ride a bike for 20+ years and by then your mind already knows which gear you are, everytime you move the clutch and your feet. The funny thing is, you can also tell which gear you are in just by how much rev and engine break the bike is doing when you close the throttle. veteran riders don't need to look where the gears are at, they can actually feel it.

I have one of these in the blue and white, and you a totally right about this bike. they really are deceptively fast especially when you get used to the power. If your not constantly looking at the speedo your over the speed limit constantly. They dont really like going round at sub 4k but if you they get to 5k they wanna start going again and the power doesnt proply kick in till 10k. Definitely very difficult to ride on the street

At the Yamaha Dealership...Oh yeah, take a few grand with you 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Haha we aren’t the worst riders lol. I had an 05 r1 for a while. Now back to an2012 cbr1000rr. Loved the r1. 93 mph right at red line in first with a CALIBRATED speedometer. Only reason I went back to a cbr was because I’ve always preferred the smoothness of the cbr.
Any suggestions on a first starter bike for someone who’s 5’0-5’1 height?! Someone help me out please!

xxtrishgamesxx lol the r3 has a low seat height, and the Honda rebel come to mind as well.
Does it have steering damper?!
What's crazy is the early-mid 90s ninja 1100 and the 90s CBR 1100 blackbird is basically just as fast. They run 10 second quarter miles. I've had a couple blackbirds and they just pull and pull and are so smooth..and even comfortable.
Hey is there anyone who can help me I have a 2015 Honda Shadow Phantom, the front wheel is bent. I cant find it anywhere I thought it was part number 44701-MFE-A41 but no one has pictures of the actual wheel. Is this what I need?

Go to a real Honda dealer they should be able to order you the right wheel. They might need your VIN number so bring it with you.

jose garza thanks 🙏. Our friend was only 22. Beautiful bike but the dopamine rush from those R1 speed blasts can be addictive. I wish you a long and happy life. Be safe.
So true I live in Allentown Pa. today is October -4- 2020 noon and a dude that runs with one of my friends killed him self about 2 weeks a go on route 22 west bound ..going towards his house Reading Pa. he was down here for group riding ..accident was about 2 min from where I work in Breinigsville Pa. about 15 min from my house in Allentown .. It was on that same bike R1 custom gold and black and give or take a year. Anyway that was exactly what happened to this guy lost control of the beast speed limit times 3 . had a classic open helmet and broke at impact but no matter what gear nothing could've saved him hit the guard rail too hard and you no the rest ..so yes indeed you surely know your stuff Mr SRK Cycle bro thanks for your bike lessons and Bible verses . you are I appreciated !!
Nice you always drop a verse ❤️❤️❤️
I have both...r1 and Ducati 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ guess I'm the worst 😭😭😭
I actually like that back seat leather cover. nice contrast with the black without being too blatant.
Been riding 600s for the past 7/8 years now, got my 08 R1 yesterday, crashed it today, big sad (missed an oil slick wasnt dicking about)
You crackin me up !!!!,,lol...45x3,, been there...
I had an R6 now i have a little ninja 300 🤷♂️ kinda went backwards from my original intent of an R1
