2015 Yamaha R1

[Crasherfromwayback]

At the local yamaha dealer they confirmed a new R1 for 2015 normal firing order with two model's, one @ 200hp and one @230hp reason was crossplane crank motor plenty of punch out of the corners but gets gobbled up down the straight's. Don't expect to see them to soon as yamaha NZ has shit loads of 2014 models to sell first

Ummmm...not so sure about that!

Ummmm...not so sure about that!

Yeah dealer sure guessed wrong on this one

If there are a excess of 14 models left then SALE time!

Anyway - I like some of what they have done - lights and 'number board' look cool - the lights will be fancy projector or LED jobbies so plenty bright.

I like the black one.
I want the black one.
Im not allowed it. That's already confirmed.

I was at TP Yamaha today in Christchurch and what did i see ?? The new 2015 R1 in black., sex on wheels very nice. Not a demo model, only for looking at or drooling over

[Dogboy900]

Is it just me or does anybody else think the new R1 looks like Admiral Akbar off Star Wars?

14% but Yamaha only gave you 12% when they invoiced you the bike and paid out the other 2% quarterly.

So I would actually like to revise my NZ RRP Guess to $27,990

Not far off!!

the new R1 and R1M will be available through your local authorised Yamaha dealership from $26,999 and $34,999.

I hope its better than the 2014 model, the BMW s1000r super naked was lighter and had more power

If I were a younger, lighter more flexible man I'd be gunning for a black R1.

At $27k it had better be good as there is lots of tasty alternatives at that price.

Shit ride out the door and it will be worth? $21 tops!
