2007 R1

[Paulus]

Just saw this in a thread on the R1 forum. Pics of the 07 R1:

Apparently the pics were accidentally posted early on Yamaha Canadas site and have now been removed.

Personally I don't like it.

[Maha]

Personally, i do, and i love it in all colours, and i must say that the red would suit me just fine, or the blue, and come to think of it the black also :2thumbsup

[The_Dover]

nice indicators :rofl:

[skelstar]

Post images...

Headlights much better.

[loosebruce]

I'd be disspointed if i was a yamaha fan, i mean the new R6 is fkn cool, i was expecting something a bit more radical for the 07 R1 thats been unchanged since 04, and what do you get a slightly revised R1, it doesn't look that much different, few "minor" cosmetic changes, from a distance still looks like the same bike.

Even i feel let down, good one yamaha, ya plonkers! Nice colours too :Pokey: whats with that red WTF

[cowpoos]

I wanna know whats been done to the engine.....been alsorts of rumours about the latest R1 engine...from big bang too...fly by wire....variable valve timing....blah blah...

[The_Dover]

I wanna know whats been done to the engine.....

it's in a high state of tune, slightly above concert pitch


.from big bang too...

they make drums too you know


fly by wire....

piano wire?


variable valve timing....

4/4.........6/8.............with a 3/4 break in the middle. syncopated for a little extra swing.

Me too. I heard rumours about a return to a 16 valve head - I wonder if they were true. I guess at least it's still the prettiest open bike.

[The_Dover]

pretty like Joelyn Wildestein.........

Likewise. There had been rumours of the fly by wire throttle (a la R6) being extend to fly by wire valve timing, which could be some radical shit. And, let's face it, they need to do something pretty radical to the R1 if they want their Gixxer fanboys back.

Looks OK, I guess. Still far too powerful for me. By a long way.

I also heard they installed a rotisserie oven.........

Keep that one under your hats tho :whistle:

What do you mean a return to? Am I missing something in this modern world

[Mr. Peanut]

Underseat exhaust, stupid.

[SixPackBack]

Presently the R1 uses 20 valves.

Aren't four of those for the amplifier?

[WINJA]

It Looks Like The Old One But Has A Bit More Of A Slapped Together Look

[adiddy]

love the red - i rekon its awesome

16 valve head, fly by wire throttle, 6 pot front brakes, slipper clutch and variable length intake system. The exhaust is Euro 3 compliant and there have been some other small engine and chassis changes as well.

Wonder how it will go against the new Suzuki?

[Fishy]

6 pot front brakes, Crikey...6 pot radial mounted brakes.... goodbye eyeballs. :Pokey:

[sAsLEX]

Crikey...6 pot radial mounted brakes.... goodbye eyeballs. :Pokey:

and look how many valves it has

Instead of five 23.5mm intake valves, the new R1 uses four 31mm poppets (largest in class), and are now made of lightweight titanium.

So lets start the math. 4 31 mm intake valves.


Its pair of 25mm steel exhaust valves is similar in size to last year.

And two exhaust valves gives a grand total of 6 valves . They must like the number 6.






pt I know the report is fucked up so what can you take fromthe rest of it

[Coyote]

I think the air intakes underneath the lights look awesome, and the tail. I'd tap dat shit

[fatboy1]

Hi.
The Yamaha US web site has all the details on all the Yamaha 07 models. R6 seems unchanged but yes the R1 has had a bit of a major rework.

Check out the computer controlled variable length intakes...very trick

[sAsLEX]

Computer is prob a simple micro not that trick, coupled to a simple actuator a few dollars of parts

To be honest I am suprised that more things like this havent been used more in vehicles. As the latest SB mag has an article on the guy chaging the velocity stacks on his bike for better performance, effectivaly changing the length of the trumpets, and it gave very good results.

[Kendog]

Blue is nice, black is cool, but I love that red, awesome, wish I could have one.

[Paulus]

Didn't MV put variable length intake trumpets on one of their limited edition F4 1000s? Yamaha seem to have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the R1 this year. It'll be interesting to see if it all works to make a top bike - I suspect it'll still be playing 2nd fiddle to the Suzi.

It looks a bit chunky - but I thought that of the 06 Gixxer thou' too.
In the same way, I think it will look better in the flesh.
I think the '05/'06 R1 is a classic though (so tastefully well-formed, almost Italian-like styling). It will always be the 'one' for me :niceone:

Not quite as brutal as the 998 to 999 shift though!

[**R1**]

duz it matter what it looks like?

Looks OK to me but then so duz the thou, zx10, blade, 999, MV etc..

All fukn fast and fukn FUN!!!

wish could afford one:crybaby:

[Tints]

That bike looks amazing.:cool:
i want it in blue
i need to get a good paying job:crybaby:
i want one
i love yamahas.:2thumbsup
the team has an R6 engine in a open wheeler that is dry sumped and supercharged. We are raping it and it is still going strong after a year. Yamaha engines are amazing.

[MattRSK]

Im loving the tank on this one.

[SPORK]

Now that's a fuckin sexy beast. Nice to see they havn't gone with the current trend of having supercurvey shit all over it.

Yeah thats why I like the tank. Nice sharp angles.

[imdying]

So hoping they make a Roberts replica :yes:

[RantyDave]

Agreed. Given what they did with the R6 I was expecting the valve timing to be variable and computer controlled (although the variable length trumpets, if they do the job, are a simpler solution), and given Yamaha's "being raped by the GSXR" situation I had half expected to see some traction control solution in there.

Oh well, it's a few years before I buy a litrebike anyway.

And most people can use all the power the current ones put out, on the road..?

One thing variable length dohickery things do is make the engine more tractable in that the power is more nicely spread across the rev ranges hence more usable by average Joe........

[Clivoris]

Have they stolen the fairings off the 675 Daytona?
